Cash-strapped Exeter City have landed another £150,000 windfall following confirmation that their FA Cup replay with Manchester United will be screened live on the BBC. The tie has now been put back to Wednesday, January 19, with a 7.45pm kick-off. The extra cash means Exeter will have generated over £750,000 through their two meetings with United, enough to wipe out their entire debt.
