How about cost ?
Coach travel for a whole team and hangers on ?
Far flung Scotland or even Ireland - overnight stay - hotel accommodation ? the bill is mounting up, who pays for it ?
And if we're not arsed about going out in the first round why agree to enter it ?
If we enter and progress I suspect being a cup competition it will be treated the same way as the FA Trophy - our league fixtures could come second and suffer massive disruption - they would have to in order for the cup competition to progress smoothly and not hold up ties / rounds.
