On April 18th, the English FA confirmed it was phasing out cup replay fixtures from the 1st round proper of the tournament from the beginning of the 2024/25 season.
For clubs lower down the league pyramid, fa cup fixtures generally - and replay ties at stadiums of the larger clubs specifically - are an important source of income; as broadcast revenue is shared between the clubs.
The decision to scrap the replay structure has drawn heavy criticism from professionals and supporters alike. The Football Supporters Assocation - who's 2023 survey found that 69% of fans had a supportive view of replays - has passed along its 'serious concerns to the FA'.
