Like you say it breaks up the initial momentum just as everyone is geared up (players/staff/fans) to go for domestic football. With the amount of international games taking place in a year, how long would you envisage these 4 breaks to be? Couple of weeks? Same as normal, most international breaks we have now have two games, so keep it as is but have them spread out a bit more, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you'd see scenarios of teas resting good players in the FA Cup or League Cup to focus on a league game if the route to those was top 4 in league rather than top 6. League Cup = Europa League FA Cup = Champions League You know it's UEFA who ruled it's decided via league position which clubs play in the CL?

Genuine question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palacejohn 0 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 We should have scrapped it years ago. You only have to look at the attendances to see most fans aren’t interested, none of the top clubs want it and there’s way too many fixtures as it is. Get rid!

It worth keeping this season just to see Wayne Hennessey's penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just devalues the FA cup and if it wasn't for sponsorship money it wouldn't exist. It's there for all the wrong reasons Don't scrap it, just make it for reserve players to give them some game time i.e if you have played 10+ games this season you cant play in the league cup ...lower league teams can play who they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are clubs charging for tickets? If the 'regulars' aren't interested, cut price tickets could attract a younger audience for these games, or perhaps people that can't afford a usual game.

I’ve seen West Ham and Arsenal charge £10-20 for adults in the past for games against lower league opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
