Re: Cup Replays Equal Fixture Pile-ups!

How do you work that out accymel? If 500 teams enter into a knockout cup competition there have to be 500 grounds. As two teams play on one ground that leaves 250 grounds free.

also the amount of fixtures being played in leagues & other ties that to play it at a neutral ground would probably be more than hard work to organise & to sort for definate fixtures that required it as priority for use of grounds should be the league fixtures& teams fixtures in place nevermind another set of teams pinching yer ground! As for many teams the main priority is the league concentration everything else are bonuses.

Eh?
As I already explained if two teams play at a neutral ground of another team still in the competition there is no problem. There is problem for Luddites though.

The great thing about the FA cup is that it gives smaller teams a chance of taking the big boys plus also the money generated which should be generated between the 2 teams playing.

Very true but the ‘smaller’ teams will still play the ‘big boys’. How many smaller teams opted to use a neutral and larger venue just for the extra revenue that it would generate? It happens all the time.

I think the FA cup should stay as it is, why fix something that ain't broken.

Fine so that’s your opinion, mine happens to be different. In any case who says it’s not broken?
