    FA Cup Attendances

    We got our lowest since 60s but was still bigger then I had anticipated

    Watching Cardiff Fulham on the box now and the ground is empty as it was across the country at most games when historically 3rd round used to pull some clubs biggest gates

    What can FA do to turn this apathy towards the cup around

    stop playing the semi-finals at wembley and give the winners the 4th champions league spot.

    also, the fa culd cap ticket prices for each round.

      But doing that would not have put another 10k on our gate mate that just benefits top six that always make later stages

      Capping prices is worth considering.

      Perhaps we need to get rid of one of the two cup competitions and just have one as attendances in both are awful

        I have to say Fulham are miles better than us. They pass and move really well, good to watch. Might have to get down there
        I played sunday league football today.

        Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

        I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

        We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

                          the majority of teams in our league are better than us mate. we are terrible.

                          yesterday was an eye opener.

                          from the team we had two years ago to what i saw yesterday, i'm still in shock as to how bad we have become in such a short period of time.

                          anyone who thinks matty philips was crap, needs to see what we have now.

                            clutching at straws I know but hoping for a draw here so Fulham have a replay a few days before our game. Every little helps. Or maybe.

                              Attendances dropped when clubs lost interest in the competition and the TV rights were sold to the highest bidder.

                              Very difficult to force teams to play strong teams now even those in lower leagues like us and shouldn't have let Man U pull out one year to chase more money in South America, if the FA don't care about there own competition why should the fans. TV controls fixtures now so no chance of getting all but 1 or 2 games played at 3pm on a Saturday, football is run for the TV generation now I'm afraid not the fan who attends.
