I see positives and negatives in this. My local team is Swansea (the South Wales rivalry is easily as intense as say Man Utd/Liverpool) so little gives me as much pleasure as watching Cardiff get stuffed yet at the same time 2 very unfashionable clubs have made it to the final, and to me that's what the FA Cup is all about - underdogs beating the big boys.
The downside is this is not likely to be a very good advert for British football. It's pretty safe to say that viewing figures will be lower. I still think it won't take anything off the prestige of the FA Cup though.
