Yes true and the bigger Championship clubs are mostly relying on going up in the next two years to avoid financial turmoil. I don’t really blame managers for sacking it off when they’re a few poor results in the league from the sack. Bring back the Anglo-Italia cup.
How about all clubs, including premier league, enter the competition at the same time and all income from the matches is split 50/50, including TV and streaming. And the early stages are regional, to a degree, so that small clubs don't have to travel so far. You could even stipulate that the premier league ground should be used by default if against a team 2 leagues below, bringing more income for the lower league team.
I guess the format allows it to be a simple knockout with 92 teams. Some sort of group stage would be even worse. I think the issue in the early rounds is home clubs losing money. We’ll have lost at £13 a ticket on average (I’m guessing) and about 10000 in attendance.
Spent the evening in A&E with a suspected DVT, so haven't had a chance to think about the yellow and green, pukey, family friendly ****s!!
Returning tomorrow for ultrasound. Swelling in leg, so could be a few things. Blood test showed it could be DVT. Scan will tell. Gave me massive dose of anti coagulant, which I have to repeat tonight. On it goes.
Best wishes Col from myself and the rest of the Cardiff Not606ers. It'll be compression socks for you young fella. Be well soon sir
Cheers. Yes, I've worn them for over 4 weeks along with daily anti coagulation injections. Anyway.....good news is there's no DVT. Follow up scan in a week.
We fielded a weakened team with many reserve team players. I guess they performed quite well, certainly much better than I expected. It is unfortunate that they lost to a last second goal. But lose they did.
