The Only Non League Club Still in the FA Cup

[@Martell364]

In Germany's DFB Cup, the lower ranking team is automatically the match host. I quite like this, because it means the lower ranking (and therefore probably poorer) club gets the attendance money and possibly the excitement of hosting a big club on their grounds. I think this would alleviate some of the concerns about replays being eliminated (as far as I understand the issue).

[@ryklatortuga4146]

Probably fun for the "big team" fans travelling to a ground they would never normally visit too.

[@andyf750]

I agree. The French equivalent, Coupe De France does this too.

[@sottyknows]

It’s the opposite in England. A smaller club would prefer to have the match away and a replay at Wembley due to the additional cash. The irony is, if the replay was against a lower or equally ranked team they probably wouldn’t.

[@IvorHughcock]

Attendance money is split 50/50 in the FA Cup. So rubbish idea

[@CTOTHER]

Yeah I think that’s a great way of doing things, at least from round 3 to round 5 could really benefit those overachieving lower ranked sides. That being said, I also understand the dream for these lower level team players and fans to have an away trip to the big teams

In terms of incentives: A) give the winners of the Cup one of the Champions League places (now in practice that's not changing the qualifying teams drastically, but does inventivise teams to place their best for the competition) B) where relevant, the lower league team becomes the home team automatically, with those in the same league reverting to the home "drawer" being first

The team from the lower league must ALWAYS be the host. And the cup match must ALWAYS consist of one game, in case of a draw - extra time and penalties. It's all very simple, and thus two problems are solved at once - there are no extra, unnecessary matches, and the poorer and weaker teams get a chance to earn money. This system works in many national cups. The league cup should simply be cancelled forever. That's it.

The Replay was one of the best features of the FA Cup. Also, I like the rule from other Cups that the team from the lower league always hosts. Silly incentive: beat a higher league side, get 1 point multiplied by the difference in Pyramid Steps between the teams (so, if Kings Lynn Town were to defeat Brentford, they would get 5 points in their league table).

[@TREVORALLMAN]

As a Cray Valley (PM) F.C. fan (and former player), holding Charlton Athletic to a 1-1 draw at The Valley in 2023/24 season was brilliant, as was the replay, when 1,600+ were crammed into "The Millers" ground for the replay (which was lost 6-1). The FA Cup certainly hasn't lost its popularity among non-league clubs.

[@rodneyboulton6410]

Spot on as always. The likes of carragher don't have a clue

[@TiwsDay]

Only way this works for me is if all top flight teams have to host smaller clubs, and then split the gate 50/50. Then they get their day at a big club and an increase on match revenue as well. People saying host it at the lower tier are missing the point I think. Back in the day when I played, getting a run in the local cup and finding yourself in an actual ground, with an actual stand (even though it was only on one side) and a groundsman, rather than being out on the common, with 10 back to back pitches, was like a dream. The experience of playing at Spurs new ground and then taking a potentially much larger revenue because a gate share at spurs would dwarf a sold out tier 5 - 6 gate, seems like an obvious win for me. The argument, but we might beat them at home because our pitch is small and bumpy is weak IMO.

The hypothetical payout of massive away gate fees from a premier league side to non league is more of a pipe dream than reality. You can count how many times this has specifically happened on a replay in the last decade on one hand. For every time Tranmere or Barnet valiantly force a replay against Chelsea or Newcastle you probably have two dozen miserable midweek replays with like Preston traveling to Shrewsbury that benefit nobody. That being said, removing replays is a deliberate encroachment by the UEFA expansions and big 6 clubs on the EFL If the ultimate goal is more money going down the ladder than I think a system like Sweden where smaller clubs can offer to sell their home draws for a sizeable bounty (something that would happen a lot more frequently), or they can keep their home advantage to you know, actually try to win

I've read that the fa cup could scrap extra time aswell in favor of going straight to penalties. I think that it would be an advantage to the underdog teams like Tamworth etc, to go straight into penalties after a 90 minute draw with a premier league club. I think that fa cup replays are a bit much in the schedule of clubs, but i could see how its beneficial for the lower clubs to get an opportunity to travel when facing bigger opponents. I think going straight to penalties is ideal though, because the lower clubs are always going to be at a disadvantage in a 90 minute game.

[@IDeltic]

If games went straight to penalties instead of extra time (which I think should always be the case anyway, but that's a topic for a different day) then I would 100% take the game being decided on the night over a replay. I'm a Torquay fan and a couple of seasons ago we were at home to Derby in the FA Cup. 2-0 down at HT, but in the second half we came back (thanks to a penalty and a sending off) and got an equaliser with pretty much the last kick of the game. At that time the balance of confidence would have been entirely on our side and we would have had every chance to win there and then. With everything that comes with it, the extra prize money for winning, the guaranteed extra money win or lose in the next round, the chance of ANOTHER big game in the next round and, of course, just the mood boost of having beaten a much better team. Instead we got a replay at and got thumped 5-0. Was that worth half the gates at a half full Pride Park...?

[@IDeltic]

I'd also like to add that your comment about £17 being the (very reasonable) price of a ticket is another reason why the argument for replays isn't as strong. Big teams charge less for cup games than league games, so half of their gate is not actually as much as people expect.

[@brokentoes7898]

They should organise one mega game for all teams that draw in the 3rd round, medieval football style - 2 giant teams of like 200 players each with the goals a mile apart up on some moorland in the peak district or something. The winning side (comprised of half of the remaining clubs) goes through.

[@callumison1489]

The issue with scrapping replays is moreso down to the unnecessary extra time. Extra time only really benefits the higher level teams, as that's when fitness and mental fatigue really comes into play. Think if you have no replays - you have to go straight to penalties. But the magic of the cup, was the replay. I know some teams don't want them - but it should be a decision between the two clubs. Think the way of doing it would be to offer the chance to agree to a replay before the game. If they don't agree to a replay, then the home team should get to decide - then the draw also has an added jeopardy to it.
