“Simply creating a cup competition that suits the upper end of the Premier League completely goes against the historic beauty of the competition.” @theposh. Sentiments shared by all who care about English football. @FA is supposed to look after all clubs, not just the elite.

[BBC Sport Merseyside @bbcmerseysport]

🔵 @ChesterFC have released the following statement: “Chester Football Club is dismayed at the decision of The FA and the Premier League to change the format of The FA Cup, without consideration of the consequences their actions will have on clubs such as ours.

“The scrapping of replays from the first round proper onwards denies clubs access to much-needed revenue from gate receipts and broadcast fees, but also means supporters and players will have far fewer opportunities to create the unforgettable memories for which the competition is so revered.

“It is deeply concerning that these changes have been announced without consulting the 144 clubs who make up the English Football League and National League, nor the hundreds across the football pyramid who enter the FA Cup each season. This demonstrates an alarming lack of respect for the wider game and its fans, and reinforces the urgent need for a strong Independent Football Regulator.

“We urge The FA and the Premier League to listen to the concerns of clubs and supporters, suspend the changes and commence a full and proper consultation with all stakeholders.”

Hope to wake up tomorrow & see rest of @EFL clubs who haven’t said anything today make a statement disagreeing with todays nonsense re the FA cup. And the @PFA to encourage all current premier league players ‘made’ in the @EFL to come out in solidarity with us in our wonderful pyramid. This is the time we need you fellas to stand with us. Don’t forget who played a part in you earning £100k per week. Backbone time 👌🏻. Same goes for all commentators on big media platforms earning well. Support is needed from all areas.

Here’s my FA Cup solution:

We amend the Football Governance Bill, which is in the Commons on Tuesday, to require that any domestic cup competition can only be changed with a majority vote of all clubs eligible to enter it.

Write to your MP today and ask them to support it!

🚨 FA Cup replays have been scrapped. They will not take place from the first round onward from next season❌

Millwall boss Neil Harris was not too pleased with the decision...

🗣️ "It is absolutely ridiculous. European football is a joke. It's all about money!"

[BBC Sport Merseyside @bbcmerseysport]

⚪️ #TRFC have released the following statement: "Tranmere Rovers condemn the disgraceful decision taken by The FA and the Premier League to change the format of the FA Cup, including the scrapping of replays.

"There was no consultation with Football League clubs, National League clubs or grassroots clubs to whom the competition represents not only their best opportunity to create life-long memories for supporters but also a hugely important source of income. We also understand that FA Council members were not consulted about the changes.

"The decision, and the way it was taken, demonstrate a total lack of respect for the football pyramid and its fans. Football belongs to all of us and decisions should not be taken in back room deals in which only the very wealthiest clubs are allowed to participate.

"It is yet another eloquent example of the 19th-century governance that means that football simply cannot regulate itself and needs the Independent Football Regulator to have real teeth.

"We condemn the changes wholeheartedly and urge The FA to suspend them immediately until all stakeholders in the game are properly consulted."
