So if we drew Chorley away it would have to be played in front of 4!600 rather than a potential massive money earner at UofB? Crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair if such a switch happened they people would bemoan the end of the 'magic' of the FA Cup etc. It's actually been banned since 2003, would you believe. Last club to do it were Farnborough who switched their home game against Arsenal to Highbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted August 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2020 Doesnt the old 'on police advice' trump competition rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 24, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2020 From Wiki: Edit Quote In the matches for the twelve competition rounds, the team who plays at home is decided when the fixtures are drawn ā simply the first team drawn out for each fixture. Occasionally games may have to be moved to other grounds due to other events taking place, security reasons or a ground not being suitable to host popular teams. However, since 2003, clubs cannot move grounds to the away side's for capacity or financial reasons. If any move has to be made, it has to be to a neutral venue and any additional monies earned by the move goes into the central pot. Ā 4 minutes ago, Casino said: Doesnt the old 'on police advice' trump competition rules? Wiki also says that replays used to be played within three or so days after the original tie but police advice results in the tie occurring 10 days later. So yes, I reckon in cases of very local draws, police would advise to play at the larger, easier to police venue. The last sentence about the extra revenue is important here, itāll be lining the pockets of someone at the FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's a Milwall thing - Leigh RMI drew Millwall at home but it got shifted to Millwall (albeit before the rules changed) once GMP presented their likely bill.

I imagine that Harrogate would want a lot more than 1K in any case. Edited August 25, 2020 by tkonion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
