o/t (at the moment) FA Cup Replays

Weston-super-Mare of National League South, would have been playing League One Bristol Rovers in a replay. How much money have they lost because of the Premier League & FA not giving a toss about lower & non-League teams? Guiseley v Stevenage would be worth a few quid too.

Hope they both win in extra-time or penalties.

Radio Lancs's Glen Little, also has zero understanding of lower League/non-League. He said that replays are no benefit to clubs.

So how did that work out then?

What a game between Hednesford and Gainsborough today

Hednesford led 3 0 and 4 3 then led 3 1 on pens but somehow still lost the game

Gainsborough at home would be nice

Both non-League teams lost. A huge amount of money denied them, not to mention, replays possibly being on TV. The FA & Premier League may have cost Western & Guiseley in the region of £75k each. Glen Little won't care, and to the Premier League sides, that's a week's wage for an Under 21 player. :cry: :cry: :cry:
