Champions League draw is coming up on Sky Sports News, I assume it'll be part of that?

True but at least you've got a chance of having a free slot if you're not in it. If you are in it then it will wipe out league fixtures. The big clubs getting knocked out means more chance of drawing a tinpot output for which the few quid at stake actually means something and will won't agree to dropping a replay.

Don't talk yourself into the idea that the FAT is worth bothering with. It's not.


Fat lot of good the past two weeks rest have done us, I know we won but we were well short of match practice the more games the merrier,  and don`t let the Trophy be an excuse for not performing in the league'
Also its the chance for our players to fulfill their dreams of playing at Wembley, any thoughts other than this are selfish and backward thinking on our part IMO

Presume it was regionalised? Thought someone said it wasn't at this stage.

I agree in this particular game it made sense to give the first team a run out, but in general the FAT comes in the busiest part of the season. The problem is the further on you go in it it gains an importance of its own. We'd be better off resting lots of players in subsequent rounds before it starts to become a distraction.

Quoted from barralad
The most salient point is that you can get a fixture backlog based on other team's runs in cup competitions. We have already had two games postponed because of other teams participation in the FA cup. Once the bad weather kicks in the chances of backlog builds even more. Last season postponed games due to weather contributed significantly to our backlog


On the plus side we have already played 4 more games than we had done at this time last season so you would hope any fixture backlog will not be as bad as last season even with a prolonged run in the FAT
