Stop the FA and the Premier League from scrapping FA Cup replays

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The FA Cup has been magical since the first ever inauguration of the tournament. It is what keeps some non league and lower league clubs alive financially and the scrapping of replays destroys this. Some clubs rely on that profit so much, and it’s so unfair that they’re being robbed of it.

This is a very serious matter. Football clubs are an integral part of local communities, and without the magic of the FA Cup, some of them might not survive. Please discuss this in Parliament, because the beautiful game is like the Arkenstone- it unites us all, regardless of who we are.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about arrangements for football matches and tournaments are a matter for the football authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
