What an outstanding cricketer dad was too. Just a shame he suffered with so many injuries. If his lads are h...

chances are though CT that we'll be winning a few more games for the money (I hope! )

We’d struggle to win less I would imagine

Andy Holt said the announcement was the first he'd heard of it.

It really is shocking when Football League club chairmen don’t even know about it.

The agreement for this is between the FA and the Premier League but no agreement with all the other leagues whose clubs play in the competition.

Do you think this will lead to smaller clubs who get home ties against big clubs requesting that the venue be switched in order to try and make more money from gate receipts if the possibility of a replay is gone? Or is that practice not allowed?

It’s against the rules

ClaretTony

I’m just bumping this for John and to wish him the very best for Sunday. He’s already had one achievement because it’s forced him to miss Bramall Lane.

All the best mate.

Sad day I think to see the end of replays - particularly for the smaller clubs in the competition. Just imagine a League Two club holding a top team to a draw at home and not having the money coming in from the replay.

Another nail in the FA Cup coffin for me is this.

Yep the reason I mention Leicester was because of the amount of exposure they had in Thailand. They literally had a big club shop and merchandise all over Bangkok airport when I was there. It was unbelievable and made me realise who actually owned them. If it's not made much difference to their sta...

Gone from next season in all rounds from the first round.

Final will be played on the penultimate Saturday of the Premier League season with no PL games to be played on the Friday or Saturday to give the final exclusivity.

No rounds will now be played in midweek.

Me too. £42 a month for Championship footy isn’t too bad.

I’ve gone from £24 a month for Premier League football to £30 a month for Championship football.

They’re obviously not going to state that their primary objective is to profit from BFC are they. As for thousands of ways to make money easier than owning a football club… do I remember correctly Chester Perry saying he believes ALK have already made a return on their initial investment? If so thi...

Every team in the Premier league tried breaking Asia. When I went to Thailand (about 10 years ago) it was Liverpool and Man Utd stuff everywhere. Their fake shirts all over market stalls for 2 or 3 quid. Without winning a league title I'm not sure how you attract overseas fans in numbers. To turn t...

When I've looked, they seem to give Mellon 30 mins or so, second half.

A couple of late introductions but usually gets between 20 & 30 mins. Hasn’t started though since 3rd Feb.

New Years Day? I was still exceedingly drunk and can't remember if I was cold or not. The vague memory I do have is the pitch was frozen solid and we lost 2-0? Marlon sent off and that cold I think my shoes froze to the terracing. I’ve had colder days though - Hartlepool, Oxford, Coventry come to m...

As a resident of north Hampshire, a consolation for out relegation would be that it enables a possible trip to Fratton Park to see the Clarets. Last time I was there (our last game there I think) was the 5-1 win. 1-1 at half time then a goal from Ings and 3 from Charlie Austin in the last 20 minute...

Mellon is the one not getting much game time.

This is Dodgson’s 9th start, Costelloe has started 8 but Mellon just 2.

I have not been contacted by the club with regards to renewing my season ticket. No e-mail, text, letter or phone call. I'm wondering if it may be because of the e-mail I sent to complain about being asked to leave the stadium while watching the on pitch celebrations, at the last game of last seaso...

I think the Leicester chap did fund the club initially, then his family not so after. Now they’re up the creek which sort of illustrates the risks with being a billionaires plaything too. To be fair they were funded significantly by Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and by his family but their King Power co...

Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to add a couple more. Whoever it is that owns Bournemouth, too. And Leicester and Forest, and for that matter Andy Holt at Accrington Stanley. The blokes at Wrexham, and Salford. It's not uncommon. On the subject of Bournemouth, I saw an interview with their owner Bill Foley...

He once missed a sitter at the Jimmy Mac end early in a game because of a really bad touch. My mate said to me that he was like a dog with a balloon so I used it in my match report.

Wasn't that the name of the book that was done years ago to make money. I think it was Leighton James that didn't send anything in so his page was empty .

I think it was - Fletch put it together to raise some money for the club

Shame about West. When you pay a fee for a youth player you expect it to work out a bit more.

There are a lot of people bemused by this one to be honest but usually the decisions prove to be right.

I love when fans suggest offering a player a coaching role. It happened with Barnes, Heaton the other day I think, and it's happened here. What makes Rodriguez a good coach? Is he interested in being a coach? Is he qualified? The list is endless but Barnes and Cork did start their coaching badges d...

That mean he'll be leaving at the end of his scholarship?

He played against us for Hull recently too. There are a few players who seem to have gone missing. Rohan Vaughan played as a trialist for QPR last week.

I really do sympathise and am trying to be very fair with comments on this. But when I look at Forest I see their seniors will be £375-£650 with the latter being equivalent to where you sit, i.e. fairly central good seat. Whereas we will charge £242-£360. Then we have an under 22, under 18 and unde...
