FA Cup and the Coupe de France

Obviously the FA Cup is a great competition partly because of the fact that so many teams from so many leagues get to play, apparently it was 758 teams this season.

I was listening to a Podcast recently about French football and apparently over 7,000 teams enter because teams in the French overseas territories are allowed to enter.

Do you think that's something the FA could consider doing. Opening up a few extra real prelimanary rounds so teams from Gibraltar or Monserrat could enter? Or would it just be a pointless change?

Can't imagine the lower league teams being able to afford a round trip to Gibraltar

In the Coupe De France everything is heavily subsidised by the French FA, so I guess that's what would happen in this case. Also only a really small amount of overseas teams make it through, it was five in this years case
