Since last season replays have been scrapped from the first round onwards, meaning clubs such as Exeter do not get the chance of a second pay day should they earn a draw.<\/p>\n
Last season, the Grecians were knocked out in the fourth round on penalties by Nottingham Forest,<\/a> missing the chance of a lucrative replay at the City Ground having drawn 2-2 after extra time. <\/p>\n Exeter received a massive boost in 2005, when they were a non-league club with millions of pounds of debt, when Manchester United gave them all the gate receipts from their 0-0 third-round draw at Old Trafford,<\/a> with the Premier League side progressing in a televised replay. <\/p>\n “We just wanted to flag up to the football world about how the smaller clubs can be penalised in the FA Cup now,” chairman Pete Ferlie told BBC Radio Devon.<\/p>\n The trust has put in further loans worth more than \u00a3600,000<\/a> this season after an overspend last year left the club with worrying debts. <\/p>\n
