KDT Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 All lower league teams to have 3rd round games played at home? Similar to Germany. Doubt that'd go down well. Big clubs losing out on a lot of revenue from home games... Thought the gate receipts were halved in the FA cup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big clubs losing out on a lot of revenue from home games... Thought the gate receipts were halved in the FA cup? Well then there'd surely be no point in changing it at all? If anything should play at the place with highest potential attendance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Not sure if I agree with scrapping replays, as the whole point of a cup run for lower league teams is the money it brings and this often from them earning a replay away at a Premier League team or whatever. Perhaps a system where teams can agree before the fixture to bin off the replay if it's mutually sought to do so? personally I'd say if a lower league was drawn against a prem (lets say league 1 and below) they get the choice of venue (ie home or away) instead of it being predrawn and keep the entire gate revenue (prem clubs don't need it) to make up for no replays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 He's absolutely fucking woeful. There is no English division he'd succeed in because he'd get nudged off the ball with great ease in the lower leagues, and he's just far too slow and far too bad at all the footwork he tries to succeed anywhere near the Premiership/Championship.

I thought it's always a significant time out when a player has done his hamstring. Maybe he had a little scratch on the muscle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
