I agree with scrapping relaysOriginally Posted by Eric the Half a Bee
I think fundamentally cup ties should be a one-off and decided on the day
How often do lower league teams hold a Prem team at home to get this money-spinning replay? More often it’s Championship teams drawing (or League 1/2) and getting another game no-one wants, including the fans.
As for lower league teams complaining they won’t get a shot at a big boy, who’s to say they won’t win a game on penalties then get an even bigger away tie in the next round?
Also think it’s a concern teams might be playing for a draw when they should be all out to win
