Re: Cup Replays Equal Fixture Pile-ups!

Mmmmm JB really!!

So how exactly is having neutral grounds for FA cup matches going to benefit the playing clubs exactly ???? more to the point how is this going to be arranged with he 'neutral ground club' to arrange this fixture?? Not always the case that smaller clubs will get more money if played on a bigger neutral ground - that has got to be within distance or equal distance of both teams concerned??? Also pricing on tickets for entry to grounds vary vastly so how will that be fairly adapted & not always the case that the fixture will fill the ground??? [prime example man u versus reading - mmm ground wernt packed out] I can see a lot of problems as with sods law of footy is that like of recent weather conditions many games were called off & had to be re arranged which vreates backlog - regardless of league status!! Also the simple fact that u say is that the teams out of the cup will be able to be host ground for the FA fixture - sounds great but what about those teams fixture list - sorry far too much hassle & money wasted on organising it would make the FA more of a farse IMHO!!

Easy theorectically but in practice all leagues have their own problems to deal with without this on top!

Again primadonnaship is trying to take over quite literally & sorry it wont be at expence of lower leagues!!
