Sneaked out news....

...the FA have brought forward the ending of FAC replays from the 5th round, to this season from next, to help avoid fixture congestion.

Jose will be pleased ;-)

it makes no difference to the big clubs but the smaller clubs will miss a chance of a money spinner replay when the big teams slip up and field a weaken team and hope they can have enough on the day

 

[its a Barm]

You will get smaller clubs asking too switch the game to the bigger club.

Good news.

Re smaller clubs, not many make the fifth round.

That ended a while back.
