Statement: FA Cup changes

AFC Wimbledon express strong disapproval of the one-sided choice made by The FA and the Premier League to modify the structure of the FA Cup.

The football association did not involve or seek the opinions of smaller clubs in the league or supporters when making their decision.

This is causing widespread worry and we strongly denounce the alterations and their implementation.

Our call to The FA is to halt their plans and carry out an extensive consultation that involves all levels of the game.
