Could you guys help me out with a bit of info, please?
A few times in years passed, I`ve managed to follow our FA Cup run right through. Admittedly - with one glorious and never-to-be-forgotten exception - most of our cup runs in recent years have lasted about as long as a Donald Trump visit to the barbers, so it hasn`t put a lot of mileage on the car. The last time I did it was when Cookie`s team went out at Derby - 4th Round, was it? That was worth doing.
Anyway, I`ve decided I`m going to have a go again this year and am organising the relevant week-ends. Am I right in thinking that we come in at the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup now, or have I got the wrong end of yet another stick?
It`s also dawned on me - these things do eventually - that we`ll be in the FA Trophy this year. Does anybody know how that works? Is there a seeding system in operation there as well or are we in the hat from Round 1? I`m also not sure what the replay situation is in both cases; I know there`s been talk about FA Cup replays being scrapped but I`ve no idea whether it` being brought in this year.
Any information re the above would be much appreciated. Ta.
