Exeter City FC and the @ECFCST are bitterly disappointed, but not surprised, to learn of the fundamental changes that have been agreed to the format of the FA Cup, with seemingly no consultation of EFL and National League clubs.
Our football club, like many others, owes its past, its present and its future to the FA Cup replays that have now been taken away from us by those who sit at the very top of the game.The televised replay against Manchester United that helped keep the Club alive in the early years of supporter ownership.
The trip to Anfield after holding Liverpool to a draw at St James Park. The home replays against Leicester City and Newcastle United on our way to the Quarter Finals in 1981. And so many more.
That only a select few clubs are allowed to slowly chip away at the very fabric of what makes the English game the envy of most with complete impunity serves only as a reminder of why the Independent Regulator is so desperately needed.
Exeter City Football Club and the Exeter City Supportersโ Trust condemn the decision to scrap FA Cup replays and call on The FA to suspend these changes with immediate effect until a consultation of all stakeholders has taken place.

@BobbyDa68809572@FulhamFC@OfficialECFC@TonyKhan Itโs likely he may show better loyalty when his contract ends.
By giving him the opportunity to play for his local club and the history of his dad, will be better for his personal and football development.
Much better than being a bit part player for Fulham or on loan elsewhere!
@exetercity1904 Itโs a shame that a fan ownership model we simply cannot complete in the transfer market at this level, highest season ticket sales in our history, yet such limited funds for players. As a trust member I would welcome a wealthy benefactor right now, certainly MT deserves it!
