I put the idea forward last year when we discussing on here how drab the ties were and how the Cup needed some excitement put back into it.
Following another luckless draw for the non-league teams last night I still think this isn't a terrible idea for the third round only to reward those smaller teams who make it that far for a decent pay day and for a bit more excitement than West Ham reserves v Spurs reserves.
The draw would have looked like this
Chelsea v Stourbridge/Northampton
Halifax/Eastleigh v Arsenal
Liverpool v Sutton
Macclesfield v Man City
Tottenham v Barrow
Lincoln v Man Utd
WBA v Newport C
Accrington v Everton
Stoke v Notts County
Cambridge v Bournemouth
Watford v Blackpool
