Since last season replays have been scrapped from the first round onwards, meaning clubs such as Exeter do not get the chance of a second pay day should they earn a draw.<\/p>\n
Last season, the Grecians were knocked out in the fourth round on penalties by Nottingham Forest, missing the chance of a lucrative replay at the City Ground having drawn 2-2 after extra time. <\/p>\n
Exeter received a massive boost in 2005, when they were a non-league club with millions of pounds of debt, when Manchester United gave them all the gate receipts from their 0-0 third-round draw at Old Trafford, with the Premier League side progressing in a televised replay. <\/p>\n
“We just wanted to flag up to the football world about how the smaller clubs can be penalised in the FA Cup now,” chairman Pete Ferlie told BBC Radio Devon.<\/p>\n
The trust has put in further loans worth more than \u00a3600,000 this season after an overspend last year left the club with worrying debts. <\/p>\n
They were then hit by a fire in November, which caused more than \u00a3100,000 worth of damage and led to a League One game being postponed on safety grounds.<\/p>\n
“Money is tight at the moment, but we have worked our way through that,” added Ferlie.<\/p>\n
“There are actions and plans being put in place to put the situation back on a more even keel.<\/p>\n
“This extra money from the FA Cup helps, of course it does, but we would like to see a little bit more to really make sure that the summer is easier than it could be.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
