FA Cup: Reforms to the English football calendar could see third and fourth round replays scrapped

Replays in the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup and two-legged EFL Cup semi-finals are expected to be scrapped as part of reforms to the English football calendar.

So the big clubs get their way again, sod the rest of us. Looking for more room to have their expanded Champion's League.

If you don't want a replay, win the bloody game at the first time of asking.

I have seen the future and it's shit.

Feeding trough time at the Premier again. I wonder how many lower league clubs have been financially saved on the back of lucrative replays. The gits don’t give a toss and who actually wants to pay to see West Ham play some unheard of club in a third tier, third rate European competition.
Surely this has to be voted through by all EFL clubs as well as the Prem.

Rubbish decision, but completely expected. The FA would rather listen to Klopp and Guardiola moan about replays than give a toss about anyone outside of the top flight
