To be scrapped next season from the first round proper onwards. I might be a sentimental old fool who’s stuck in the past but I think this is a shame and yet another example of the FA capitulating to big clubs and the uniqueness of the competition is being undermined and smaller clubs miss out on extra additional revenue like Cray Valley who got a replay after drawing at Charlton Athletic. Ok, they got hammered 6-1 in the replay but I guess would’ve made quite considerable extra money as a result. This is now going to be scrapped entirely.
Big teams calling the shots again .Trying to smokescreen things by saying they will Donate to grass roots footy . Who are they trying to kid?Consider Lincoln’s cup Run a few years ago. No replay from the draw at Portman rd. no gate receipts. This only benefits those clubs at the highest level. Because of fixture congestion with Euro comps etc.
We will see EFL attendances grow over the next few years with people becoming increasingly disenfranchsied from the premier league I predict.
The worse thing that ever happened was the rejection of a European super league. Get them all f*cked off away from English football altogether.

Then you might end up with fan run splinter clubs replacing the breakaway ones.I personally would support the Rovers if they wanted to boycott the fa cup.
