Bring back replays in the FA Cup
The richest clubs in the Premiership and FA have decided to end FA Cup replays this is grossly unfair on smaller football clubs.
It is unfair on smaller football clubs because they dream of playing a big club but do not make a lot of money if they draw them at home. They are not allowed to switch grounds so they can gain a bigger attendance. Replays give smaller clubs the opportunity to play the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal on their home grounds in front of massive crowds. Removing the chance of a replay removed some of the magic of the FA Cup.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
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.
