So the FA and Premier League, in their wisdom (of course), have decided that from next season, there will be no replays from the First Round onwards.
They will also extend the number of games to be shown on TV, as each round of matches will be from Friday through to the following Wednesday.
What this mean for those teams (nice to see BTFC in the FA Cup 1st round) travelling fans, will need to take into account extra-time and potentially penalties in their away travel.
The FA & Premier league state that this will strengthen the FA Cup competition (?)
