5th Round - 4th and 18th November
Quarter Finals - 10th and 24th March
Semi Finals - 7th and 21st April
Final - 12th May
Check my arithmetic but that's 256 clubs in the tournament.
No bloody seeding and if International games get in the way, f'uck them.
If the bigger teams are weakened by being missing some of their players then even better.
