A couple of press articles today criticising the FAs decision to do away with replays at the behest of Premier League clubs, including Spurs, which negatively affects smaller clubs down the league structure. Tamworth are the extreme example. When we played Marine a few years back they made around £0.5M through TV money and creative marketing - they sold ‘commemorative match day tickets’ which didn’t get you into the game, but raised funds. The positive impact on Marine cannot be easily measured.be a nice touch/pr move if levy sent a few quid tamworth's way to offset the replay cash they would have made but obviously lost with the new rules.
i agree that the club should financially reward Tamworth for the money they lost by not having a replay. It might even allow them to get a ‘real’ pitch.
