There has been several articles regarding the future and outcome of the 2019-2020 season and understandably so, for what its worth I personally don't think it will be possible to complete the season and its looking like the authorities are going to use PPG rather than a null & void ending.
Now that's all well and good, however, it does leave us with the FA cup to be concluded and I haven't as yet heard any proposals, does it just get ignored? That seems a bit of a hard luck, suck it up buttercup, bitter pill to swallow for the remaining eight teams left in it. Anyone got any ideas as to what if anything could be done to fairly reward the last eight standing?

Just roll it over to next season to complete this one and ease fixture burden next year.
If people want something to happen with the 2021 fa cup then just automatically award it to Spurs as the year ends in one.

Emirates sponsor it, let them decide.

Slightly off topic (but still FA Cup related), ITV are jumping on the bandwagon ala BBC and will start showing classic matches.
Starting this Saturday at 5pm:
Coventry v Spurs FA Cup Final 1987.

FA cup should be voided and awarded to the last winner.

Null and void it

Can I assume that you are happy to adapt that strategy to all English football competitions?

I Wonder if they'll move the last few games of the FA Cup to the start of next Season?

Think they are showing a certain game from 26th May 1989 in a couple of weeks that will be a decent watch.

24 hour football bonanza in which all players are forced to play continually, without rest, until all cups & leagues have been completed.

I remember that one. I had to work that day and we had no television set so I popped into the old Birds Eye/Walls whatever it was factory in Ripple Road, Barking and talked the security guard into allowing me to watch the match with him 😀
