...into 5 leagues of 20 clubs cutting out midweek trips to Grimsby and Plymouth has ground to a halt because the FA won't release a couple of weekends from FA cup games and clubs are scared that reducing number of home games will damage income (i.e. They don't believe they can make up for three lost games through increasing attendance).

Shame, there is way too much **** football being played.

Ken Bates always argued against reducing the top division from 22 teams citing lost revenue from two matches. Look at the size of that trough now.

Silly thing is the match revenue for the lower league clubs was supposed to be underwritten by the cut they get from the FA anyway. With such selfish motives football will never make progress.

The FA Cup decision was probably influenced by their new sponsorship deal. In the end money always wins the day...
