First piece of common sense by the club all season, I welcome this very much

Why are replays planned for this type of fixture? I feel that this competition, along with the FA Cup, should be now settled on the day as is now the case with the Carling Cup. Replays are a waste of time and clog the fixture list up.

They are, however, another source of revenue for the clubs involved.

The prices for this game are very sensible - I wouldn't have paid £29 for the 3 of us, £14 is much more acceptable and ensures that, weather permitting, we will be there

Really? Say one of these days we get a Premier League side in the FA Cup. We get them at home and at full time we draw the game. Would you want to miss out on a replay and the potential for TV money + gate receipts that we might get from a replay?

Trophy, fair enough.

On the day for the Trophy, but the not the Fa Cup.

Good move by the club on admission fees!
