Original Note:
To suggest that the revised format “strengthens the format” of the FA Cup is fundamentally untrue. The decision to remove FA Cup replays deprives lower league clubs of crucial revenue and has been taken without consulting EFL or non-league clubs. The £33m is inadequate. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/18/fa-cup-replays-and-premier-league-winter-break-scrapped-from-next-season https://www.tranmererovers.co.uk/news/2024/april/club-statement-fa-cup-replays/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/04/18/all-fa-cup-replays-scrapped-final-date-moved/
