still do make the effort ......

but its nowhere the same , and its not just the TV coverage , the whole competition has been devalued over the recent years with top of the premier league not appearing to bother until the quarter or even the semi finals

first weekend of January was all ways FA Cup 3rd Rd one of the great weekends of football

The FA Cup may it RIP

no research was attempted to confirm that every first saturday in January was FA Cup 3rd day , especially as recall it being played in Dec recently
