FA Cup schedule

[consilio]

Why can't FA Cup games beyond round 3 be played in midweek, rather than moving aready scheduled league games?

It's great to still be in the cup, but a decent weekend away game at MK Dons has to be sacrificed for yet another poo draw, away to Blackpool

The beauty of the FA Cup, is that it's played on a Saturday.

It's unfortunate that we have to play MK Dons on a Tuesday night, but if we want to win promotion from this league, we are going to have to get our midweek performances sorted out.

I'd much rather we continue to win games, and enhance the feel good factor around the club by progressing in the cup, as well as competing for promotion. And there's no reason whatsoever why we cannot go to Blackpool and beat them. We've got a decent record up there if I recall correctly don't we (could be wrong)?

True, although i have no problem having to travel 90 minutes down the M1 on a Tuesday, continued success in the FA Cup is fine by me, success breeds success.
