I don’t like the scrapping of replays, but without checking the facts of this, we probably average about ten crappy away replays for every half decent pay-day replay. Does a crappy replay away at, say, Carlisle (which I think we had quite recently?) get us any money, or do we make a loss? On the basis we’ve not had a big FA Cup replay whilst in the third or fourth tier since 1985 (?), I’d hazard a guess that replays have probably cost us more than we’ve brought in during that time (especially as we usually lose them!).
Cue everyone reminding me about more lucrative ties we’ve had. I don’t count Leeds in 2003 as we were only about 15 places below them in the league at the time.
