FA Trophy - next round format

[yaccly]

FA's website states that teams are now 90 minutes away from Webley but there jhave been numerous posts concerning the potential ficture congestion caused by a twin leg semi-final. Any ideas which is correct.

Also there is a link to some highlights from yesterdays game. I havent tried the link as I'm at work so best not try.....!

Also any ideas when the draw is made.........bit tricky as Chasetown v's Mansfield is played Tuesday night?

It's a 2 leg semi-final. Dunno why the FA website says 90 minutes away from Wembley!!

Highlights don't seem to be up yet. The draw for the previous rounds has been made on Monday, normally around 11ish. Presume it's the same sort of time this round.

[quakerray]

says on fa site watch highlightsfrom sunday but nothing on yet.
yeah it says 90 mins but must be wrong as its home and away, extra time and pens

[quakersam]

That's incorrect. Semi Finals are 2 legged, 12th and 19th March. Draw is on Monday morning, as it always is. Highlights will be up on FATV sometime today

Does the away goal rule apply in these semi finals?

[quakersam]

27. PROVISIONS FOR THE SEMI-FINALS
(a) The Semi-Finals shall be played on a “Home and Home” basis. The Club first drawn shall
play the first match at home. The Club second drawn shall play the second match at home.
(b) The first match shall be of 90 minutes duration.
(c) If the aggregate score is level at the end of the second match, extra time of 30 minutes shall be played and 15 minutes shall be played in each half..

taking of kicks from the penalty mark in accordance with the procedure adopted by the
International Football Association Board.
(e) If a Semi-Final is postponed or abandoned, it shall be played as directed by the National Game Board.

No away goal rule then.

If it goes to extra time, you'd rather be at home in the second leg.

Means our games at Histon and Kidderminster will have to be re-arranged. There's only 3 possible Tuesdays they can go in, March 15, April 12th or April 19th.

These last 2 months of the campaign are going to be absolutely packed

[feethams]

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the FA Trophy website says we are "90 minutes from Wembley"

Gives the impression its only one leg semi final?

[Darlogramps]

Yes it has been previously mentioned, and the FA site is wrong. It is definitely a 2 legged semi final.

[feethams]

The FA in fine form then.
