These dates must be offered at least three weeks before the closing dates for the relevant round. Failure by the away team to agree and play the match on one of these dates will result in the home side going through into the next round. If the home side fails to offer these dates within three weeks of the closing date for the round then the away team is entitled to offer three dates to the home team (two at weekends and one mid-week). These dates must be offered at least two weeks before the closing date of the round.
