The other point to note would be that F.A. Cup third round replays would go the way of the Dodo. Plenty of money made by small clubs from replays after battling to a draw against the big boys of football. Yet another way to make life easier for the big clubs at the expense of the smaller ones.

It's almost as though the administators in charge over the past 20-odd years are actively trying to kill the game at lower levels. Wouldn't put it past them.

If the seasons were extended we would have to keep the players [no names mentioned] that we wanted to get rid of for longer. What would we do on a shite Saturday in February except go shopping with the missus.

Having read the proposal for the PL , it’s only 2 weeks and it is staggered so there isn’t any period without games it’s just about giving players a break ! I find it amazing that professional footballers on stupid money need a mid season break

I had a winter break once. Slipped on some ice walking along a scaffolding. Went weeks with no pay.

Fecking footballers.

I assumed a winter break would be next.
I suppose it's only right that the rich clubs and players have the opportunity to have christmas off and make even more money during the summer.
Football was about the fans once, i wonder when that changed.

Give 'em a break moosey. It's hard to make ends meet on £250,000 a week. Without the shampoo ads, endorsements and exhibition games, they'd be down to their last 20 or 30 million.
