What about the FA deciding to scrap replays in the FA Cup then? Bit of a kick in the nuts for the lower league/non-league teams if you ask me. It can make all the difference to some smaller club's financial survival if they go on a bit of an FA cup run and get drawn against a bigger team, maybe force them to a replay and possibly pulling off a giant killing act. Things like that are what make the FA Cup what it is and have led to some of it's most memorable moments.
No replays from the 1st round proper next season, I understand it's to do with fixture congestion for the big teams but they don't even enter the draw until the 3rd round so why do it from the 1st round? They could have got rid of them but from the 4th or 5th round onwards or something like that, it would still reduce the fixture congestion for the bigger clubs and leave some replays to give the smaller clubs a chance of some extra revenue.

You've probably never experienced what it's like supporting a crap team in the lower leagues like I have though have you?
I was at Boothferry Park watching Hull City during our 1998/99 ''Great Escape'' season when we were rock bottom of the football league pyramid sat in 92nd place out of 92 league clubs and staring non-league football or a winding up order and the club ceasing to exist in the face. * +

Not yet, just a cr*p team in the top flight so far. It's financial why the lower league teams are kicking off because they want to ensure they get 50/50 gate money at bigger stadiums and higher ticket prices is that right? If that's right, I've already resolved that issue. * +
