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. Right, here is a challenge to the Supporters Club and Football Club owners, you need to follow the excellent example of Tranmere Rovers and issue a joint statement condemning this decision. This is a direct attack on the history and integrity of the FA Cup. I am old enough to remember Hereford United beating Newcastle in a replay and then taking West Ham to a replay before going out. My late uncle was a Hereford supporter and sent me the programmes after each match, those weeks in January and February 1972 are etched on my memory as an eleven year old even though by that time I was a confirmed Rovers supporter. Of course those of us long enough in the tooth will know that Rovers have had their moments. This is what the FA Cup is all about, memories and often caused by replays. This is a real opportunity for the Supporters Club to demonstrate their relevance to the fanbase particularly in the light of the events of a few years ago where it's reputation became so tarnished which the late Dave Thomas did his level best to recover. It also gives a chance to the new owners to show that they understand their fanbase and to show some leadership. This is an issue that every EFL club should be fighting. Ownership models have changed over recent years and we have seen it here at Rovers, but if fans and owners can't come together on this then I really fear for the future of the game. It should be something that unites us and something that every Rovers supporter should be able to get behind. Kind regards John Malyckyj Yes Rovers please follow suit.

Quite acceptable when referring to you. That's mild considering you've previously told people to F off. Whoosh! Completely missed my point there Francais Gas. I don't think he did, you are quite often a dick unfortunately, not the only one I'll give you that.

You are some sort of idiot. You judge them after the summer, and let a manager be destroyed by false promises and have to answer questions by the media, what is going on with Chris Martin Matt? HE HAS TO ANSWER THEM. You are a proper 💩🏠 think you need to tone it back a bit my friend, we are all gasheads at the end of the day, stop behaving live a sh*thead Yeah I'm personally giving credence to the rumours but acting like a twat and going at Daniel for asking questions is basically doing what your accusing Saeed of doing - being a little sh*thead tw@. Stop it.

Hi mate, I am playing football Saturday (dunno why I buy a season ticket to be honest), so you can use mine. It’s in the thatchers terrace, if you want it let me know and I’ll ask the shop to send me a digital ticket. Cheers

where are you ….Let’s be ‘aving you ! UTG Just waking up in sleepy Mileham, about 40 min drive into Norwich from here. Heading to real ale Mecca The Fat Cat pub, can’t wait Boy has his flag at the ready and will be wearing his vintage (2004?) away top, black with yellow stripe which I found on eBay. Long drive up from Dorset last night, me and the boy spent a good few hours playing guess the capacity game for all the grounds we could think of. Time now for a bacon sarnie, cup of coffee and get the voice box ready to cheer the boys on into the 4th round Magic of the cup very much alive in these parts! UTG I hope you and the boy have as memorable a weekend as myself, my dad and my brother did up at Derby back in 2002!
UTG!

If we did win it woyld be a nice touch if we helped out with the cost of these doughnuts, with any extra proceeds going to the schools local foodbank or towards school meals for those kids who might need a hand.

Apologies if this was already posted five years ago, but I just stumbled upon this on Reddit and found it quite interesting from the perspective of The Gas and who we think our rivals are and vice versa. Also just pretty interesting as a whole looking at all the rivalries in English football.
Is there anyone you would argue sneaks into our top 5 now, or do you think this poll is totally wrong?

How empty does that ground look. Must be 3,000 max home fans? Looks crap don’t it, can only hear the blue and white army making noise.

Don't have anywhere to host/upload the image but playing it back Collins did look off side to be fair. Dunno why lino took so long to flag but there we go. iFollow didn’t even show a reply! There is a replay button now which is useful cos the live stream pops up in a little box on top of the full screen replay. It basically rewinds around 30 seconds. Would love it if when they do show replays they'd keep the live going too as they often show them whilst there is action happening!
