I agree even though the only two I can recall involving SAFC were 1964 and 1967 and neither ended well for us. The first replay against Manu had one of our highest attendances ever though not officially.Much better when you could have second and third replays.
Far too much power in the hands of a few rich clubs.
Easy solution. Withdraw from the competitionEFl werent consulted and arent happy.

Yes sterile, because it would be expected.It’d only be for one round. The big boys versus the likes of Chester, Gillingham, Gateshead, Exeter, Orient, Burton, Lincoln, Wrexham etc every third round “sterile”! Givower
Why have the FA come to an agreement with the premier league about their own competition?
No replays, semi finals at Wembley, and no longer the last game of the competitive season. Football really is fucked.
Don’t the Scandinavian countries have a system where the big teams are away for the first couple of rounds? Pretty sure I’ve seen that in Norway and DenmarkMore giant killing if there’s no replays imho. The big boys almost always win the replays so if it’s to be decided on the day then I reckon the minnows have a better chance of going through.
I’d go one step further in that for the 3rd round only I’d have the balls in two bags and not one. Highest placed clubs in one and the rest in the other and draw one from each…..then toss a coin for H or A. Loads more potential giant killings AND gate money for the littler clubs. Plus the vast vast majority of ties won’t be between clubs from the same division which is always a pisser. Sorted.
Spot on marra.

Naaah. It was a part of the at the time 70yr war between the FL&FA. The main reasoning was that English clubs unlike the clubs of a few other nations playing in Europe weren’t used to two legged KO football so the FLC was meant to help them gain experience.
