I knew somebody who was on the FA council when i lived in North London. He cared deeply about the local grassroots game. He died 10 years ago but he once said:Terrible decision.

That's capitalism for youThis is a case of Robin Hood in reverse..... steal from the poor and give to the wealthy.
Nope.I’d be quite keen to see the Super League so the big boys in the Premier League can fxxk right off and play each other endlessly, whilst the rest of football gets on with things in a far more traditional manner. Am I alone ?

You`re right, Jerry. Have to say, also, with all due respect to our own owners, at the Premiership level, it`s also down to the creeping Americanisation of English & Welsh football, sorry, soccer !Most of this is down to foreign ownership of our clubs and media (sky). Neither should have been allowed.
True enough nibbles. maybe I should have thought a wee bit longer instead of just using them as an example. There are, however, enough other examples where teams from lower divisions have had "nice little earner" after having drawn the home tie against a "more illustrious" opponent.Not sure why you’d bring them into it given they didn’t have any replays during their incredible cup run.

It’s just not cricketBoycott
They probably could, but then PL sides could refuse to loan their players out in favour of sending them abroad (benefitting neither side really), and it creates a vicious cycle.Can the EFL now refuse to play Premier under 21's teams in the cup competitions?
