Where would Solihull v Arsenal be played? St Andrews? Villa Park? Or just switch it?
it will be played at Solihull unless there are compelling safety concerns/fears. Which there shouldn't be as Solihull's ground meets National League requirements.
The FA clamped down on smaller clubs switching for a big pay day a few years ago.

Sutton hosted arsenal a couple of years back.
Newcastle made themselves pretty unpopular by somewhat highhandedly assuming Stevenage would switch an fa cup tie back in the 90s, and getting the hump when they wouldn't. Worked out alright tho as newcastle got their home game against stevenage ten days later lol

So, the FA's latest great idea to spice up the Cup is to shift a load of games off the Saturday 3pm slot for the benefit of "overseas TV coverage". There's now a further six fixtures at 12.30pm Saturday, four at 5.30pm Saturday and six at 2pm Sunday. Including such potential ratings winners as Sheffield Wednesday - Luton, Crystal Palace - Grimsby, Millwall - Hull and Preston - TheLikesOfDoncaster. I mean, fuck those dwindling numbers of us who actually might bother to go to these games eh?
Also notice they announced it at 5pm Friday, the scheduling equivalent of "send the awkward email immediately before you go for lunch".
