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.
