PLYMOUTH ARGYLE fans face a nightmare journey home from Manchester after the next round of FA Cup TV games were confirmed. The remaining eight fixtures are set to take place on the first weekend of March. And they have now been divvied up between national broadcasters ITV and the BBC. But Argyle fans will be feeling hard done by after their trip to Manchester City was given a 5.45pm kick-off time on Saturday March 1.

The journey up from the south west alone will take nearly six hours. And supporters face being stranded in Manchester overnight, with the final train back to Plymouth leaving at 6.25pm -- 40 minutes after kick-off. The train doesn't even get back to Devon until nearly midnight. And it means any fan who wants to catch it will likely be unlikely to see more than a few minutes of the game, given the 1.4 mile distance between the Etihad and Manchester Piccadilly station.
