But, if it is only about money, I think you’re looking through the wrong end of the telescope.
It’s the chance for clubs like Stanley of replays in the third round away to one of the big clubs, with a share of the gate.

Owners of clubs are complaining about the money side and nothing else, even the owner of Dorking that has never been to the 1st Round Proper without realising replays till apply in the stage they have always played in their entire history.
Most owners realise that the changes mean more money for the smaller clubs every season, rather than one club out of 700 getting a big replay less than once a season, just a few have spoken out.
