    You’ve just described what you do miss. Inadvertently.

    The pure magic and how important it was to all teams.

    But you would have done in the 80’s I imagine? So whatever you felt for it then is what you miss.

    Nothing in life stays the same , what has gone has gone, no matter how far you turn the clock back it is the future that counts & a future without the FA cup is fine by me

    Understand what you’re saying. I’d miss seeing the non-league teams working their way through the rounds and getting their five minutes of fame, but the competition in terms of winning it is pretty much dead.

    The OP didn’t ask if you cared if it stayed though. Just what was missed. And for you you miss it being taken seriously and the magic of it. Probably what we all miss, regardless of whether we’d care if it was a competition in the future.

    Yet managed to win it in 1979, after all those matches against Third Division Sheffield Wednesday.

    I like it, "Third Division Sheffield Wednesday" - TDSW. This could catch on like WRDC.:D

    I'd miss it.
    I love non league teams having the chance to bloody the nose of the bigger teams. And I'm liking that it's on terrestrial television, seems more people talk about it than sky or BT matches
    I've been lucky enough to be part of the Prem journey, I'd love to be there for an FA cup final.
