No wonder there is concern by supporters regarding the f a cup the premier league are a law unto themselves and along with the efl no doubt backing them don’t really care about what supporters think, they do what suits them with little or no regard for anyone else if they get it fans should boycott it and whoever they set up deals to broadcast it kro
In my humble opinion the FA Cup was devalued to the genuine supporters as soon as they did away with playing Semi-Finals at neutral grounds in favour of Wembley. For most non Premier teams, and even some of those, a Final appearance was maybe once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m afraid the FA and it’s associates appear to care little about the die hard fans. Revenue and corporate hospitality looks like the priority. Ticket allocation is abysmal, l bet you half of the prawn sandwich brigade who normally meander back to the premier seats don’t even know who’s playing. It’s about time the FA, Premier League and EFL started to respect and consider supporters at all levels.
Excellent comments Peter and Stan. Tom Ross always used to say that the game had gone mad because of the financial landscape (or words to that effect). He was right.
