In non-league football cup replays have always been scheduled for the same week of the original tie. The Trophy has been like this for as long as I can remember (25 years or so), likewise the FA Vase. Don't forget that the FA Cup only changes to 10 day replays when the FL teams enter in round 1: all the preliminary and qualifying rounds have replays in the same week of the original tie.


The reason is to do with minimising disruption to the fixture list. Getting ties concluded asap means that future postponements are kept to a minimum.

It used to be the same in the FA Cup too when the old Football League teams became involved in the competition. It has only been since the 1990/91 season that FA Cup replays have been played "on the second Wednesday following the original match, or earlier if mutually agreed by the two Clubs" from the First Round Proper onwards. This is as a result of a change in police advice for the staging of such games. For the earlier stages of the FA Cup, replays have to be played "on or before the following Thursday" after the drawn match.


In the FA Trophy any drawn match throughout the competition "must be replayed on the following Thursday, unless the Clubs mutually agree to an earlier day". Clubs also have the option of settling a tie at the first time of asking: through extra time and penalties if required. Both clubs have to agree to this though, which obviously wasn't the case for the match last Saturday.

Won 5-0 against Merstham today, with a crowd of 1,564 - astonishing for this level, given that the opponents brought very few. Dulwich now have on paper a really good chance of making the playoffs, but need to take advantage of their several games in hand. This can be hard because fixtures pile up - e.g. Hamlet are now at home on 20th, 22nd and 25th. Let's all get behind them at those games!

Just turn up on the day and come in through the turnstiles.


Edited to say: see further info on post below (next page) re tickets in advance.

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By eb949013 · Posted

      It's a lovely journey via train, particularly with older children. Another vote for man in Seat 61 as the best source of info!

      Hi there I am an experienced cat/dog/house sitter. If you are going away this summer and would be to know your house and animals are being taken care of well don’t stress I can help. I have experience across a range of breeds, rescued more animals than I can count and I am a qualified vet nurse.  Please get in touch with dates and location and hopefully I won’t be booked up. Happy to negotiate a good rate.    Contactable references available, current DBS available.    Many thanks  Trace

      What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
