For the third year in a row FA Cup replays in the 3rd & 4th rounds are likely to be scrapped due to fixture congestion, the calling off of last weeks fixtures as well as some of this weeks will leave the fixture list at breaking point apparently |  |

Not if you are Forest Green Rovers and you have just managed to hold Manchester united to a draw at your place and could go back to Old Trafford and make more money than you make in three seasons it doesn't | |

Pretty unlikely they would get a draw though and if they are drawn at home they would still make a huge amount of cash from tv money. [Post edited 13 Sep 2022 15:40]

Very unlikely as Forest Green destined to get knocked out in first round proper by Leverstock & Ford  |  | | |

Very unlikely but it still does happen from time to time | |

It’s a real shame.
Bit by bit, the game changes, and not for the better. |  |

The “romance” of the cups was one of the last great parts of the game. Now it’s been swallowed up by greed and the wishes of the premier league big boys. I’d be shocked if a small team ever wins it again.
To win it you’d have to do something like knock a big six side out in the early rounds and hope the others somehow fall by the wayside due to the draw or weakened sides, leaving you with a scandalously lucky draw in the latter stages like the skates got in 2008 |  |

If you look back at the list of FA & League cup winners over the past 10 years you will see how the Underdog rarely wins it, in fact go back 25 years and it isnt a much better picture, as you say the game has changed without us knowing it | |

The only time in recent years that a small club won it, they did it by cheating.
And I’m not referring to Wigan or Leicester. | |

That makes it even more biased towards the big clubs, Pompey should have gone out against Man Utd that season let alone us | |

I think against us was the year they lost in the Final.
When they cheated even more to get that far. | |
