Maidstone, Crewe, Swindon, Port Vale, Stevenage, Shrewsbury... 

sounds like places where David Brent went repping.

 

In all seriousness though it’s a joke, and just yet another attempt to skew English football further to benefit the PL and top 6 clubs. There is no long term thinking anywhere these days, it’s all short term thinking to make a quick buck (sort of why the countries in such a state, but that’s another issue…).
 

The more I think about it the more I’m not fussed about getting back there - but then obviously we need the money and clearly I want to see us to compete at the highest possible level. Very conflicting, but that they make it such an exclusive club is shameful really.

Such a shame we don’t make a stand on this. Leaving the league one clubs and below to publicly fight this just shows that we want to be groupies to the ‘big 6’ nonsense. 

There’s been a good few championship clubs, Boro the biggest of them I would say.

 

The most effective would be Cov ahead of the semi final but doubt it.

These banners need to be made and shown by every Football supporter group in the country.

Teams in the Premier League, Fulham, Brighton, Bournemouth, Sheff Utd, Luton, Brentford, Burnley,  Forest, have all been down and out and in situations relying on replay money in the not too distant past.

They could all do with remembering where they came from and making a statement too.

Banners schmanners - boycott or give up. 
 

Stop giving these tossers money. It’s the only language they understand.

Literally 3 days after the end of the season AND IN ****ING AUSTRALIA:

And these ***** have the absolute gall to complain that FA Cup replays are causing fixture congestion?

Ticket prices with a capacity over 100,000. Those bronze tickets too make the view at Newcastle away look like front row seats.

So don’t worry about all the teams going out of business at the bottom of the pyramid as long as the teams playing in Europe aren’t too tired at the end of the season.

£uck the FA, £uck the PL and £uck the EFL!

Too many games for the big boys to play but pre season tours all over the world. 
 

Was listening to David Ornstein the other day who expects the next step will be for the Community Shield to be played abroad as a showcase in places like Saudi.

The logic behind it all is staggering 

 

 

The logic isn't based on what has happened previously. Its about ensuring there is space in the schedule to do plan other fixtures as and when they are needed. Even though they may have not been playing many replays, i presume they've always had to have a level of planning that they would be catered for in the schedule.

The logic being you can plan matches in the window where there may be a replay. Right now it’s a locked matchday as there’s a possibility of a replay, going forward it won’t be
