Re-instate replays in the FA Cup, for the benefit of all football clubs
To re-instate FA Cup replays, the benefit this can have on clubs outside of the The Premier League is huge financially, both for the clubs and communities.
With grassroots clubs having a difficult time as it is, and teams folding. This is a bad choice!
The knock on affect in communities in these areas is undeniable, from local newsagents, public houses, restaurants, transport links (bus/taxi etc..)
There is also the spirit & magic, that for over 150yrs has been alive in the FA Cup, people plan lives around their clubs
A good FA Cup draw is the dream of every club, taking away replays, will dampen the experience for many clubs outside the top 20
