The English Football League, which runs the second, third and fourth tiers, said they had not agreed to the changes and that they had been agreed by the FA and Premier League. "We want to save the FA Cup. The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world and the decision to remove FA Cup replays from the first-round proper further undermines its prestige and does nothing to help protect our cherished football pyramid," the letter said.

Currently there are no replays from the fifth round onwards, but scrapping them from the first round has provoked anger from clubs further down the pyramid.
