Exeter City v Bradford City: FA Cup tie to be replayed
- Published
Highlights: Exeter City 3-0 Bradford City (AET)
Exeter and Bradford will replay their FA Cup first-round tie on Tuesday, 30 November after the home side fielded a sixth substitute in the initial tie.
The Grecians thought they had reached the second round when they scored three goals in extra time after a goalless 90 minutes.
But FA Cup rules state teams may not make more than five changes in a tie, including any period of extra time.
Bradford chief executive Ryan Sparks said it was "a disgrace" they had to replay the game.
"It's an out-and-out shambles," Sparks told Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio Leeds.
"The whole situation is an embarrassment to the game and to the FA.
"We are the losers in this situation both financially and logistically. They will hide behind the fact that we've been put back into a competition that we might not have been knocked out of in the first place.
"At the very least this match should be replayed at Valley Parade."
