I was under the impression that this year if you postpone a game due to Covid then the opponents get a walk over .

This is what happened to Notts County in the 4th qualifying round. Kings Lynn received a walk over to the 1st round

I think that was only the case in the qualifying rounds because the rounds were so closely scheduled, due to the delayed start, that there wasn't enough time to fit in a rearranged fixture. Whereas there's 3 weeks for Wimbledon to rearrange the tie before the second round.

Don't think it matters who we get the way we are playing at the moment, we are capable of competing against every side left in and beating most, and as far as avoid lists go i would think we are top of everybody else's.

Not really much wriggle room within those three weeks though. Next Saturday(14th) league match is postponed because of the isolation period. Saturday 21st and Tuesday 24th, both Wimbledon and Barrow have league fixtures. Pretty sure they won't be postponed to accommodate an FA Cup tie. So really, the game must be played midweek Tues 17th with whatever team Wimbledon can muster.

Usually the FA Cup takes priority over league games. Whether or not that's still true for this covid season who knows.

I would've thought an FA Cup game would be prioritised over a league game, as it usually is. But if they can't rearrange it, then Barrow will go through.

I suppose another option would be to play it on the weekend of the second round. I think that has happened before, after postponements for weather. That would inconvenience another club. Best avoided.
