"The Evo-Stik League did explore moving the game back 24 hours to Tuesday night, however if tomorrow's Emirates FA Cup First Round tie between Shaw Lane and Mansfield Town ends in a draw, the agreed replay date has been set for Tuesday November 7th. It was decided that it was not in the best interests of either Shaw Lane or Altrincham, to change the date now, with the possibility of a further change on Saturday."
Might be worth the Evo Stick League Administrator having another read of the FA Cup rulebook - replays from round 1 onwards are 10 days after the original tie, not 3.
If I was Altrincham I would be looking for compensation from the league over this. Totally unnecessary.
