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.

Thanks Cardelia & dc for clarification.

1-0 away win at Worthing. And Macclesfield got tonked 3-0 at Forest Green, so everything to play for in Tuesday's FA Trophy replay.

Sadly lost 2-0 at Macclesfield. Fighting performance and a brilliant cup run. Now to get into the league playoffs...

[SausageLuke]

All over em in the second half! Gutting! What a run.

Forward the Hamlet!!!!!!

[Clifton]

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!

[Jah Lush]

Hit some good form at the right time but three games in five days is a tough ask. Go on you pink n' blue.

[DHFC]

With 3 home games next week we've got a deal for adult tickets.

[Norfolkvillas]

Sorry for dumb question, but how do you buy tickets just for the Saturday match?

First game in a big week for The Hamlet tonight - get down to Champion Hill for 7.45 and get behind the boys as they seek a play off place.

Also, Wednesday and Saturday

[Jah Lush]

Blimey... three games in six days. That's a tough proposition for any team. Come on you pink and blue.

[Gloves]

Is the Leatherhead games still on the 4th April?

[Jah Lush]

How many teams can be promoted from this league?

[BrandNewGuy]

Two ? one automatically and one from the next four in the playoffs.
