That's what makes the FA Cup for me.Hope it’s a home game to a lower league team.
Want to take my 5 year old to her first game and could do with there being little/no jeopardy! (And cheap tickets)
Upto round 3 there's plenty of variety thanks to non league teams in the mix.
So called small team against a big boy, along with cheap tickets get the ground full and helps the opposition stay economically stable for years.

I'd be happy with that.Target the FA Cup this year imo. Turns a good season into a fantastic season. Top four and the FA Cup would be perfect for a transitional year.
Being an old fart the FA Cup has always been special to me.

Ask a fan: trophiesUnfortunately the money from the CL dwarfs everything else in modern football.
Liverpool won both domestic cups and the UEFA Cup in 2001 (IIRC) and one of the directors was asked which was the highlight. HIs answer was "finishing fourth" as that generated the most cash.

Even worse, it will be Rag this, Rag that. Note how the 3rd round draw last season was not held at the holders (us) stadium. No surprise given the BBC though its at their beloved Rags.Fack sake they love the Rags BBC, doing the draw from the swamp Monday night.Bit of extra cash for them.
The draw will be conducted from Old Trafford, the home of the current holders Manchester United, and be broadcast live on BBC Two and iPlayer from 19:00 GMT as well as our official Emirates FA Cup social media channels.
Kelly Somers will present the draw, with Mark Hughes and Dion Dublin on hand to pick out the team balls.

When BBC host the draw, in most recent years, they've gone to the home of the current holders for the Third Round. This one isn't an agenda, sorry.Fack sake they love the Rags BBC, doing the draw from the swamp Monday night.Bit of extra cash for them.
