Tell the FA to stick the cup up their backsides

[7YearCritch]

Sod ‘em, say we’re out, we can’t be arsed playing the game in a packed schedule. We’re never going to win it and Forest away is dull. Sod ‘em!

 

[Macseasider]

That's the spirit!

That's the spirit!

Blame the suits who run the FA.

Chill out cheeky chops - roll over and let me tickle your belly.

Play an ineligible player accidentally on purpose

Like erm Jordan Rhodes perhaps

Seriously let’s milk it for every penny especially forest

 

[HatfulofHollow]

Love the o/p .. that's the spirit .. although am not sure when they're trying to balance the books at BFC they'll agree (although I agree we are being treated with contempt here).

 

[Poolfan2]

Now we've seen the outcome, I genuinely hope we play our ressies - not arsed about getting through - ruined the cup for me this year and the league is always way more important.

Why would there be routine squeaks in a factory manufacturing brandy glasses?

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

Yep potential decent crowd at Forest, 50/50 split. Lets chuck money away!

The FA should agree to televise our next 10 FA Cup games.....might be a slow burner

 

[hertfordseasider]

Just get SS to get the lawyers onto it and take the fight to the tossers in the FA.

I'm surprised you feel the need to ask

Guess I'll never know.

 

[braymarina]

Not unless you ever get around to cleaning a brandy glass

Steady on, I have a man for that.

 

[Ping Pong]

Decent pay day if we play Forest?

 

[braymarina]

So I had heard.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Decent pay day if we play Forest?

Bumper crowd of around 15,000
Yeh, well decent

It’s not a 50/50 split, both teams get 45% the rest goes to the FA. So a 45% share of your 15,000 is 6750 at an average say £25 per ticket is £168750. If we were to suffer from fatigue and or multiple injuries due to playing so many games and missed out on a potential playoff final win, that would cost us a minimum £8 million. You were saying about costing the club money?

A clean glass squeaks when polished. Fact.

The money is worth having, there's a lof of presumptions there about injuries.

The FA have screwed us over, no doubt, however we should be able to put out a side using our squad that is capable of beating whoever it is and then we get the cash from the gate in the 3rd round etc.

There are a lot of ifs and buts I know, but you also know our record of injuries, particularly hammys. Our players seem to have a peculiar tendency to get injured in very unusual ways. In training, in warm ups, pulling on socks, getting up off stools. The point I’m making is although,as you say there are a lot of presumptions, with our previous record, they might not be as presumptive as you think.

Yes but what you seemed to be suggesting was that because of potential injuries, that it isn't important to chase that money, potential further money and cup run because it could cost us promotion.

There are too many ifs for that and all we can do is try to win the games, manage the squad correctly and hope we get success in the Cup which earns us money and success in the league.

Maybe success in the cup helps in the league, with form and as that money can go towards a player in Jan. Money we wouldn't otherwise have. It could be the difference between affording a slightly better fee for a slightly better player who then helps us get promotion.
