I think one of the ways to stop this (or at least reduce the postponements) is to give the club who had the postponement forced upon them the choice of when the replay is staged. Arsenal have a massive advantage in replay terms as they are no longer in the FA Cup, so postponing matches won't hurt them initially. Burnley are really getting hurt by the number of games being cancelled and with their small squad, they are in real trouble.
I think the best way is to put it down has a 3-0 defeat,that will change a few minds about calling their games off.
It won't bloody happen again.

That is exactly what UEFA did to Spuds, PL could learn from them, not only on that but how to use VAR correctly.

True, but I think I’m right saying Spurs made the decision to call the game off without consulting UEFA. And as we know it’s the PL who agree games can be called off after the clubs request permission. And as the rules were agreed by the PL clubs I doubt if things are going to change soon.

Here's a half hearted or halfarted , which ever way you want to put it, effort by the F.A to cut down on the number of postponements due to COVID. Clubs now have to prove that at least 4 of their squad have it. What happened to the " 14 players enough to play the game". A bullshit effort as far as I'm concerned.
