There are feint murmurings behind the scenes intimating that this match maybe moved to the Emirates with a revenue split for the two teams. There are some though whom question whether it is within the spirit of the game to deviate from the draw(might take some of the magic). Would be a great shot in the arm for Sutton though!

I thought they stopped clubs from doing that.

Got it from the Telegraph, but you're right, that rule has been in place since 2003, but there is a but and that is The FA can choose to make it so. This is most likely though if there are concerns over the venue(condition and location). If I were inclined to want to switch and I were involved I would sight Suttons leaky roof as unsafe!

if the local police have concerns, the match could be moved to nearest neutral ground, which would be Crystal Palace

Memories of Farnborough 2003, but their stadium wasn't deemed up to it if I remember right.

I think the magics already being lost when you have teams like Watford and Liverpool resting half their squad.
 
Non league isn't a low level anymore, hence why two are in the last 16 ffs.

It's not the 1970's. The top two leagues are international (PL, Championship).
Being in A team (sort of) of one of country's biggest club and find yourself in a Soton couple of years later-sorry that is low level, despite football being more 'equal' it's still light years of difference...

Must win game for us! If we lose then.. wait I don't even want to think about that if!

The FA Cup has to be our number one priority at this point in time. No excuses if we don't win this one. I don't expect a hammering, just a solid win and hopefully Ospina keeps a clean sheet.
