My other suggestion to bring the cup to life would be to leave the structure alone but award bonus points for the league. From Round One Proper there would be 2 bonus points for winning against a club from you own division, 1 bonus for winning against any club from a lower level and three bonus points for beating a a higher level club. And that would apply from National League (Conference) upwards to Premiership.
If Man City were to draw Chelsea tonight not only would we have a great game in prospect but Man City by knocking out Chelsea would open up the title race again .........
Under such a system would Brighton Reserves have played at Lincoln, or Newcastle's not-bovvereds at Oxford?
