Re: F.A. Cup - Rd 1

Nine of the 1st, round ties involve non elite sides these could well be under threat as it looks like anything under elite level will be stopped during the lockdown not an easy one to sort out.

No crowds at any level in FA. Cup from round 1 but as it stands this morning elite football confirm they have been given go ahead to play no announcement yet on non elite but they are expecting the worst suspension again.

Re: F.A. Cup - Rd 1

It's just possible that in this context "elite" is the opposite of "grass roots", i.e. entirely amateur matches on park pitches, and even if not, surely (!) an exception could be made for clubs still in the FA Cup.

One would hope ....

think elite is classed as national leagues north and south upwards. the word grass roots seems to have moved up from park pitches that we class as grass roots to something like north west counties level. that seems what county FA,s and the national FA seem to think anyway.

You're right. This is how the BBC explained the position in relation to the 4th Qualifying Round: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54584018

And this is from the BBC a couple of days ago:

Nine of the 40 FA Cup first round ties due to be played over 6-9 November involve teams from "non-elite" leagues.
The Football Association says it is "awaiting further information before we can confirm how this may affect non-elite football across England".

If the "non elite" sides are allowed to continue in the cup but not their relative leagues it will surely make a mockery of Covid guidelines, not sure of a fair way to continue as there never is apart from suspending or cancellation of the cup this season. This is a real conundrum for the fa to sort.

Re: F.A. Cup - Rd 1

My thinking was that when BoJo used the word "elite" in a throwaway answer in his press conference, he probably didn't have the slightest idea that the FA had defined "elite" in a very specific way in a different context. My betting is still that the first round will go ahead as drawn .......... I hope!

Re: F.A. Cup - Rd 1

The FA have announced that the 1st round can go ahead after seeking approval from the government the ten non elite clubs will be allowed to play under the elite protocol, make of that what you will, don't get me wrong glad for the clubs involved but I can't help but wonder that our lives are being more and more controlled by idiots.
