Think the iFollow thing is being scrapped too.

My dad got Prem+ as a kid I remember. 40 games for £40 even then wasn’t awful value but hardly anyone got it.

I've enquired about Ifollow and it will remain for overseas viewers only I believe.

The FA Cup will no longer have replays from the first round proper with fixtures now set to be played exclusively on weekends.

The FA and the Premier League revealed they have reached a new agreement starting from next season for a minimum of six years to "strengthen" the competition with "new and exclusive calendar windows".

As part of the changes, the competition will be played without replays from the first round proper which has been agreed "in light of changes to the calendar driven by the expanded UEFA competitions".

The FA had already ditched replays from the fifth round onwards.

The fourth and fifth rounds plus the quarter-finals will be played without Premier League fixtures taking place on the same weekends.

The fourth round will have an extended fixture window from Friday to Wednesday.

The final will now take place on the penultimate weekend of the Premier League season, with no top-flight fixtures taking place on the same day or night before.

The Premier League has also increased funding to the football pyramid, providing up to an additional £33m for grassroots football.

The league will provide up to £133m per season from the 2025-26 season.

The mid-season break has been removed from the calendar to allow for a mid-August start date for the Premier League and a longer summer break

The end of giant killing and a decent payday for teams not in the top six

The worst bit is the 700+ clubs in the Chanpionship and below who compete in the thing didn’t even know there was a vote. The clubs in the first preliminary round have as much right to vote on this as the Sky six.

Another shafting by the so called elite,am I right in thinking that when 4/5th and quarters to be played, no Prem fixtures that weekend, surely that's more games or is it just to stop a team out of the cup getting an advantage and others in cup playing catch-up as the case for City this weekend?
 
Tbh Liverpool are just a bit stale under Klopp

Pass it about hope Salah scores
