Notts' reply with Swindon came about after a last-minute screamer from Stefan Oakes (pictured right) earned the Magpies a deserved replay at Meadow Lane, and Oakes will score few more important goals...at least from a financial perspective.
The home game against League One Swindon was already an unexpected financial bonus, but the Sky money will be of a huge boost for the club.
The tie takes on even more importance as the winners will face Premiership high-fliers Middlesborough at home in the Third Round, a game that would be sure to be another financial windfall for the club.
Ironically, the Magpies were also shown Live on Sky in the FA Cup at this stage last year, with their second round clash at non-league Gravesend taking the billing. On that occasion, second half goals from Nicky Fenton and Clive Platt were enough to seal a 2-1 victory.
