Fa cup draw

[Carl Newell]

With the pitch THAT bad why not offer ztadcaster the option of playing at York Street? Would avoid fixture congestion fr both clubs and improve the finances of both club as the attendance would probably be Atleast double depending on how much local interest there was in the game if it was played at their ground and both coubs receive an equall percentage of the gate receipts. Obviously the major drawback for Radcaster being the loss of home advantage.

Didn't the FA rule some years ago that games couldn't be 'transferred' and had to be played at the team drawn first? As far as they are concerned I don't think common sense comes into it

When smaller clubs were drawn at home to much bigger clubs in the past (up until a decade or so ago), the games were quite frequently switched to the bigger club's ground (e.g. Farnborough Town v Arsenal) citing "safety reasons", which was not entirely accurate. I think the rule was probably brought in to prevent that sort of thing happening.

If it is enforced then the closest free ground would probably be Garforth Town, although alternatives (within about twenty miles) might be:

Selby Town
Harrogate Town (if they lose their replay next week)
Pontefract Collieries
Farsley
Hemsworth Miners Welfare
Guiseley
Askern Villa
Thackley
Osset Albion
Goole

Does any one of those take your fancy?!
