FA Cup £36,000 for a day off

[Sarge]

one 'lucky' non-league/ L2 or L1 club will receive a £36,000 payday for not playing a match in facup 1st round...... imo FA maybe shouldve considered gifting the £ to Bury supporters trust ?

They should have done a 'lucky loser' draw, and reprieved a non-league club who got knocked out in the final qualifying round to fill the spot, similar to what they did when Man Utd bailed out on the FA Cup.

Yeah believe so, only team to lose twice in the same FA Cup competition I should think. Potential quiz question right there.

Can't believe I remembered that with looking it up first! Memory FTW

A bye would be good as it could give the players a rest and we'd get the cash.
