Per that article - Non-League not beginning until October. How will that affect the FA Cup ?

I normally officiate the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup, Vase and Trophy and we have been stood by to be appointed from 1 September as is in alignment with  these:
The FA Cup: http://www.thefa.com/news/2020/aug/03/emirates-fa-cup-2020-21-season-details-entries-round-dates-prize-fund-030820.
The FA Vase:  http://www.thefa.com/competitions/fa-vase/more/round-dates
The FA Trophy:  http://www.thefa.com/competitions/fa-trophy/more/round-dates

The non-league leagues don't start until October but the knock-outs start earlier.

They'll be like pre-season friendlies with a lot of extra bite I should think.

Thanks for the detail.

Orient at Sixfields then!
August 22nd.
Should be a good kick around. Not as prestigious as Sileby Rangers of course, but might go...oh hang on!

Good that the first one is free. It would be nice if the second one on iFollow could be made available for free as a gesture of goodwill for those who've bought a season ticket, especially as they've done so without knowing if they'll be able to make it to any games or not!

I imagine as they would be two separate databases held by two separate companies this would be a nightmare for the club to arrange and would likely come at a charge to the club as it would be non-contract work with who ever supports iFollow.

Nah, piece of cake. You'd probably need to tell anyone who wanted to participate that they'd have to register for an account on iFollow using the same email address the club have on record for them by a certain date to ensure a common key existed on both systems, then just give the iFollow admins a list of user IDs to be credited for a free pass for the match (I'd be amazed if they don't have an existing API for this anyway).

Even if there is a small overhead it would probably be a good investment all round; goodwill for the club, an increased take up in iFollow registrations meaning an increased potential for future chargeable usage and, in all likelihood, a decent dry-run for when the season starts and no-one can go to games!
