Finally an achievement in the FA Cup & Trophy

Post by super_les_mcjannet » Sun Jul 21, 2019 8:20 pm

Well when I say achievement I mean they are paying teams that lose in the rounds some cash also.

So if we go out in the 2nd round qualifier in the FA Cup and 3rd round preliminary in the FA Trophy we will at least earn some money.

FA Cup 2nd round qualifier losers - £2,250
FA Trophy losers 3rd round preliminary - £1,250

So that's £3.5k more than we got last year, even if we just got the same results :)

The FA get some negative but they have put more prize money in the non league rounds recently and adding money for the losers will really help the clubs at the non league steps. I do think this is a good move for all clubs.

Folk say the fa need to do more to stop so many non league clubs going under but this extra prize money is a step in a right direction. Mind not everyone will be happy as even less (if any) step 6 sides get to enter the fa cup now but with restructuring the fa needs to have a cut off point somewhere as they only have so much to give out for prize money
I may not live in the north east anymore but i still support the north east teams

I know we nearly always fail in cup competitions and any money would be welcome, but is it only me that thinks it is strange for the FA to reward failure?

Thing is Pete, in the qualifying rounds it is very feasible for a home team team to lose money from staging an FA Cup or Trophy match. Maybe not at our level, but certainly Northern League clubs it is quite possible that gate receipts don't cover the referees expenses and away teams travel costs. So the money provided by the FA ensures that the tie is viable win or lose.

Fair point I hadn't thought of that.

That is a little misleading spin.

The same number of non league teams enter the FA Cup as in previous years. The recent restructuring has meant more teams at levels 1-5 than previous.

There is no change in the number of non league sides getting entry to the FA Cup.

Spen is correct. The no of entries is fixed at 736 as was last year.

I think the point was that there are less or no step 6 clubs? Not that there are less non-league sides entered.

No it’s all a smokescreen as a lot of step 6 clubs are now at step 5 as a consequence of the new step 3 league. They all shifted up.
