conundrum

[new to the game]

what happens if we draw against county and they go bust before the replay

do we go through by default?

what happens if we lose and they go bust

do we go through or does another team get a bye?

If it did happen - I would say we go thro if a draw and if we lose a team in the next round get a bye.

 

Also, if they lose their league status do they necessarily lose their ability to participate in a cup competition????

It seems that they do. Rule 5 (Eligible Clubs)

(i) all Clubs taking part in a senior League or Competition sanctioned by The Association or an affiliated Association as determined by The Association from time to time.
(ii) Clubs affiliated to The Football Association of Wales participating in The FA Premier League, The Football League or The FA Challenge Trophy Competition.
( A Club not participating in The FA Premier League or The Football League Competitions must have competed in either The FA Challenge Trophy or the FA Challenge Vase Competitions in the previous season, and must be accepted into a League for the current season which is considered to be acceptable for entry into the Challenge Cup Competition.

He is good, isn't he.

Being fussy, it says the Association have the power to remove them from the competition - it doesnt say that they will actually do so, so potentially they could remain in the Cup.
