Clubs unite to protest FA and Premier League’s closed-door deal to scrap FA Cup replays
May 2 – Eleven English Football League clubs and 16 from the non-league pyramid have joined forces to call for the reinstatement of FA Cup replays.
Campaign group Fair Game and clubs across the country are demanding an amendment to the Football Governance Bill to protect FA Cup replays after a decision to scrap them.
Currently there are no replays from the fifth round onwards, but getting rid of them from the first round has provoked anger from clubs further down the pyramid for whom replays are often a vital lifeline.
