This used to happen a fair bit; clubs would claim that they couldn't handle the security arrangements, so would ask the FA if they could swap to being the away team.

Ahhh, thanks Sten! One of those things that, being American, I was missing.
I've learned so much more about the game from posters on this forum than anywhere else.. :thup: </BLOCKQUOTE>
I think the guys playing against swansea (the ones with the bloody long name...) are appealing this, as they argued that due to security etc they actually made a loss of £20k in a previous cup tie, hence they would like the match to be played elsewhere. Not certain whether this appeal has fallen on deaf ears tho.
Also i seem to remember something along these lines happening to pomepy either this year or last, i may be wrong, my memory is often quite sketchy :s
