While the timing of the match and journey time is far from ideal, Hartlepool will receive a cash boost due to their game being selected for television coverage.

United are expected to receive a five figure sum from the BBC in addition to a potential £54,000 they will receive for getting past their second round opponents. Sides selected for similar coverage in the first round received £12,000 each.

It will be another long journey for Hartlepool following their 660-mile round trip to Yeovil Town in the first round.
