REPLAY ARRANGEMENTS
Should Tuesday night's FA Trophy tie between Altrincham and Blyth Spartans end in a draw, the replay would be at Croft Park on Saturday (10th). The winners of the replay would host Macclesfield Town on Tuesday, 13 December.
I'm sure Oxford United & Macclesfield replay their FA cup tie that night. Would this mean any trophy game would be Tuesday the 20th, assuming the cup takes precedence?

I'm fairly sure that if we play Macc & it goes to a replay, then it will be on Tuesday December 20th.

Sorry to cause problems, but would it not be on the Saturday (17th)? Does it not take precedence over the league? Or am I wrong in that?

Like our own version of 'A Christmas Carol' Brian. The ghosts of Christmas present on the 17th, the ghosts of Christmas past on the 20th and the ghosts of Christmas future on Boxing Day..😄

I think the league takes precedence.

Don't know about ghosts Pete, but I've a suspicion I'll need a large quantity of spirits by New Year's Night.

I can confirm that if we draw tonight with Blyth or on Saturday with Macclesfield the replay at Macclesfield will be in the week commencing 19th December (presumably Tuesday 20th), as the FA Cup takes priority over the FA Trophy and the League takes priority over the FA Trophy on a Saturday unless it is a scheduled FA Trophy round date. So, for instance, if we draw tonight and win at Blyth on Saturday we would not play Macclesfield on Tuesday 13th or Saturday 17th. If we then drew with Macclesfield on Tuesday 20th, we would not replay on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day or New Year's Day - they might try to slot the replay in in the week between Christmas and New Year (although there is virtually no football scheduled for that midweek yet) or hold it the first midweek in January (possibly the 4th, my birthday!). If the weather intervened and our match with Macclesfield had not been played by Wednesday January 11th, then we would play them on Saturday 14th January because that is the next scheduled F A Trophy Saturday. I hope that makes sense.

This looks 100% correct to me.
