FA Cup replays scrapped

[olderblue]

Well thats never going to happen in a million years. UEFA have a lot more clout than the Football League!

I cant believe the big leagues and clubs havent got together and told international football to sling its hook. 100 million pounbd assets, being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds per week, being loaned to their countries for around 10-15 games a season. Could save players playing many games there.

There’s far too many games being played by the big boys now, much better to can the FA cup replays than give up on those pre season important cup games in Australia, the USA , Far East and Middle East 🤔

For the third round they could seed all the teams with the lower leagues being guaranteed a home tie

Good shout that.

Good shout that.

Wouldn't many small clubs prefer playing away from home due to the larger gate receipts that are split?

Possibly. Maybe they could be given the option of giving up home advantage if they wish to.

Its flawed when I think about it anyway. The best team ie Man City Rank number 1 will have the easiest (on paper) draw every round.

Maybe they could seed x amount of best teams and lower teams every round and still do a draw.
