FA CUP replays have been scrapped for the benefit of four Premier League clubs, according to Guiseley general manager James Pickles.

The West Yorkshire outfit missed out on a second chance to face Stevenage in front of their own fans, having drawn 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes, and believe they could have earned up to an extra £50,000 had the replay been selected for live television coverage.

The Football Association announced in April that replays were being scrapped from this season’s first round onwards, which at the time generated concern among lower-league and non-league clubs over lost revenue.
