I, like many fans around the country, hold a deep-seated belief that FA Cup replays have a unique and irreplaceable place in our hearts. These matches not only provide an immense potential financial boost to smaller teams but also offer these clubs an opportunity to compete against the best - this is truly the Magic of the Cup.

However, recent changes in format by The Football Association (FA) threaten this cherished tradition. We are calling on them to reverse these changes and engage with fans, The English Football League (EFL), and grassroots football communities in order to bring about alterations that benefit all stakeholders of what is known as 'The World's Oldest Cup Competition'.

The FA cup has been a beacon of hope for smaller clubs since its inception in 1871. It has provided countless David vs Goliath stories where lower league teams have had their day in the sun against top-flight opposition. This is not just about nostalgia; it's about preserving fairness and inclusivity within our beloved sport.

We urge The Football Association not only consider their commercial interests but also take into account how deeply rooted this competition is within our culture and how much it means for millions of fans across Britain.
