It’s written down in black and white, and THFC (our defence aside) is not a charity.It's far from ideal, but my point is they really won't want to give us a bye.

No probably not, although I bet if it had been the other way around they'd have already given them a bye!It's far from ideal, but my point is they really won't want to give us a bye.
The FA is a multi billion pound organisation, would have been too much to ask for them to have a contingency fund for situations like this? It is obvious this is going to happen over and over again, and I have a lot of sympathy with the likes of Orient who will lose out financially through no fault of their own. The FA should step up and look after those affected.
Is Ollie Holt banned by Levy yet ? He’s such a twat
But there is also European group stage every week. And its a more crucial time of the season the further we go in. 4 games in 7 days then would be even more unfair and negligent than it is now.Just noticed that there is actually 3 months between the 4th round and the quarter finals. So if they postpone the 4th around as well, it would give plenty of time for both matches to be played.
Shame really. Orient are desperate for the money. They don't care about winning or the scrore, they need the £150k to help for their survival. The club is expecting to lose £2.5m by the end of next season.
Yep just to confirm the £150k was the profit they expected from thE game according to their owner.Doesn't the Carabao Cup fall under the jurisdiction of the Football League, rather than the FA?
I don't disagree that there is money within the organisers of the English game but I'm fairly sure this would be their response.
Has a decision been made yet if the match is happening..need to decide whether to leave work early or not lol
A start would be not to follow him on Twitter. Starve him of the clicks.
Yeah we all get to see them some how unfortunately. Best just to starve the beast. Also I understand that Sunday Supplement is no longer broadcast so we will not have to look and listen to the prat either.Agreed, only reason i saw his tweet was because spurs fan accounts i follow replied to the tweet
Great gesture from the club. But we shouldnt. It’s Orients fault. Their gross negligence have caused this and potentially outbreaks in other clubs
I am not going to read it but I would be interested to see what he is basing his comment on. Surely legally this is cut & driedAgreed, only reason i saw his tweet was because spurs fan accounts i follow replied to the tweet
Tweet deleted.
People will spin it as we're buying our way through to the next round. Because people are ****s.Spurs offering to pay the £100k Orient would lose out on if they forfeit the tie

Surely it's a risk to us too, it's ridiculous. The game can't go ahead but i'm not sure awarding us the win is entirely fair either although you might say Orient may not have been following the protocols properly. We might not like it but surely a coin toss sort of thing would be fairer if we can't replay the game?
