I like that there's a Coventry derby.

Actually played against two of the teams in there. LOL.

3rd QF is 40 ties
4th (and final) QF adds the conference to the 40 remaining sides, to give 32 games

and then things get serious.

I presume one team will get a bye in the 1st round proper after Bury’s demise rather than there being some “jigging” about by the FA like having a “lucky loser” be re-instated from the 4th round qualifying.

They are speaking to stakholders at the mo - I would imagine a bye will be given but the 1st Round is a big deal for non-league sides especially if drawn at home to a league club - could be a big budgetory loss for one club if they get the bye - may make more sense to reprieve a loser from the 4th Qualifying round, though that is also not without issue i.e. Torquay beat Woking say. then draw them in the 1st round and Woking win.

that latter one is somewhat improbable, and a simple "they can't draw the same team twice" rule would be unarguable and easy to implement.

[AthleticoSpizz]

.....and needless to say, what would constitute ‘the best loser’?

Maybe ‘names in the hat’ and hope for the best.

That, or a bye is given, and the ‘losers pot’ gets shared out with all of the last rounds losers (i.e. probably about a tenner)

[stealthpapes]

wasn't the word 'lucky' used?

[AthleticoSpizz]

yes, needless to say

The rest of the post was sh1t too

Name out of the hat was what they did when Darlington got the spot ManU vacated in 1999

[AthleticoSpizz]

...of course, but the focus on ‘revenue’ was less prevalent 20 years ago....my ‘favourite’ tv company has orchestrated that

As already posted by some other sage, the potential of some serious lost £ (and a possible life-line) to one of the ‘park teams’ is something that should be considered.

Without doubt the biggest disgrace in the history of football. The epitome of Fergie's arrogance thinking he was bigger than the English game. Prick.

[Sutekh]

Chichester City have got the bye to the 2nd Round of the FA Cup

Maidenhead home to Rotherham if they can beat Wealdstone
