Rhodes Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 It's just not going to be the same having the early Rounds of the FA Cup in midweek is it, well the Extra Preliminary Round, First Qualifying Round and Third Qualifying Round anyway, I know that replays are midweek and we need to catch up from the usual first Saturday in August start but it just doesn't feel right somehow: Planned Dates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round: Tuesday, 1st September 2020 FA Cup Preliminary Round: Saturday, 12th September 2020 FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round: Tuesday, 22nd September 2020 FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round: Saturday, 3rd October 2020 FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round: Tuesday 13th October 2020 FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round: Saturday, 24th October 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two we’re in those places anyway and Winslow has been last couple of seasons prior. Really feel for St Panteleimon who had earned the right, as had Risboro and Vauxhall’s Motors who had their division sewn up. The lack of thought from the FA for football at this level is as ever very disappointing. without being able to have crowds it may not even be feasible for some clubs, if you’re drawn at home and get a tough one and lose you could end up very much out of pocket.

Winslow Boy Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Very lucky Park View, hadn’t noticed them. Why on earth where they even allowed to apply? They were nowhere near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opinions Opinions 433 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It is crazy how some of these teams have ended up in the FA cup, it seems to be more about who's secretary's were on the ball during lock-down and made the necessary applications.

It will be interesting to see the competition rules when they are published. If you follow current advice of travelling separately to games, then does it mean you pay 18 lots of mileage for the opposition (last season was a maximum of 5 cars per team) Not bad if we get Berko but I wouldn’t want to host a team from the Essex Senior. Can see a lot of clubs being out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might just be confined to games where you can use your Oyster Card for the tube and bus but it still gives you plenty of Club's to Officiate at such as Broadfields United, Edgware Town, Harefield United, North Greenford United, Oxhey Jets, Wembley, Amersham Town, Enfield Borough, Hillingdon Borough, London Lions. London Tigers, New Salamis, Park View, Rayners Lane and St Panteleimon. I'm not sure about London Colney, you should be able to get away with that on the 84 bus.

I think it's about a couple of stops out of Potters Bar station where the zone ends on the 84. About £3 after that to London Colney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 No replays in the FA Cup for 2020/21: There will be no FA Cup replays during the 2020-21 season to "ease pressure" on the football calendar. The competition will start with the extra preliminary around on 1 September and the final is due to be played at Wembley Stadium on 15 May 2021. It has also been announced the Carabao Cup semi-finals will be one-legged. The first round is scheduled for 5 September, while the next three rounds will be played on consecutive midweek dates from 15-16 September. FA Cup prize money has been halved from 2019-20 because of the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The winners will receive £1.8m, down from £3.6m last season, in line with the 2017-18 campaign. The draws for the FA Cup extra preliminary and preliminary rounds, and the EFL Cup first round, will be made on 18 August. The EFL Cup final will take place at Wembley on 28 February 2021. The EFL Trophy will start on 8-9 September with the Wembley final on 14 March. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53765807 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are discussing this over on another Forum: https://www.nonleaguematters.co.uk/forums/index.php?threads/f-a-competitions-draws-2020-21.1883/ Home draw or an away draw, it doesn't matter. What about the match expenses and traveling costs of the Referee and Linesmen, and if you are drawn against an Isle of Wight team then you have boat fares to take into consideration. They are not cheap so with out doubt most clubs will be losers this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
