As a passionate football fan, I have seen firsthand how the elimination of replays in every round of the FA Cup is affecting smaller clubs. The revenue generated from these replays is often vital to their survival and growth. It's not just about money, but also about the opportunities and advantages that come with it.

The Football Association (FA) has been making decisions without considering the impact on all stakeholders involved - especially smaller clubs and their fans. This lack of transparency and inclusivity is detrimental to the spirit of football.

According to a report by Deloitte, matchday revenues accounted for 13% (£680m) of total revenues for Premier League clubs in 2018/19 season (Deloitte). While this might seem insignificant for larger clubs, it's a substantial amount for smaller ones who rely heavily on these funds.

Therefore, we are calling on the FA to give all football clubs and fans voting rights concerning future FA cup formats - specifically regarding replays in every round. This will ensure that decisions made are fairer, more democratic, and considerate of everyone involved in this beloved sport.

We believe that together we can make a difference. Sign this petition today to demand voting rights for all football clubs and fans on matters affecting our game!
