SON OF LINEKER Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Just heard Mark Warburton come up with a great idea for finishing Cup competitions postponed due to Coronavirus : IE : The F.A. Cup ----- Put aside a week in the summer and play the Q/F on the Monday,the S/F on Wednesday and the Final on Saturday (World Cup style). Or alternatively my personal idea : Q/F in Oct on the same weekend as the F.A Cup 4th Qual Round ,S/F in Nov on the same date as the F.A Cup 1st round and the Final in Dec on the same date as the F.A Cup 2nd round. This way the Final is still played in the correct calender year and you only have between 1-3 games to re-arrange,depending on how far the club goes. Going back to the week in the summer,Euro 2020 will probably be cancelled,Wembley already has dates put aside for the Semi's & Final so there are your dates for the F.A Cup. What does anyone think ? Love to hear your suggestions ! ' Up The Town ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think you are both making assumptions that may well not come to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenman Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Interesting proposition but a few rules would have to be temporarily suspended , the main one being players eligibility after transfers . For instance some players will have transferred to a club in the latter stages of the competition but have already played for another team who were eliminated during the proper season . In short cup tied . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 The cup competitions have no real baring on next season so they’ll be last of the priorities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 We all need to start accepting that it will be many months before we see any organised sport of any kind. Doubt very much that season 2020/21 will begin in August, or even this year. TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
