One thing you would do to improve the footie experience?

Follows on from the Kelvin Mackenzie thread re 0-0 draws. Not a Charlton question but about footie in general, be it off side rules, cap on salaries, number of foreign players, TV technology etc etc. If you had the power to change just one thing, what would it be?

    Lower the financial gap between the champions league and the rest of the premiership, and the premiership and the championship.


    Oh, and introduce safe standing.

    Some form of introduction of a salary cap

    Admission prices for away fans to be set by an independent body which is comparative across a division accounting for facility differences

    Players on a yellow card made to put a yellow armband on

    Offside rule abolished for either the last ten minutes of a game, or the extra time of a cup game.

    TV money to be spread more evenly throughout the 92 clubs

    How about instead of penalties, the second half of extra time has no offside rule and is played under the silver goal rule? I think that would be more fair than a shoot out.


    Also, spitting to carry an automatic 5 match ban.

    Players can give abuse back to the fans without threats of police actions.

    Over 18s areas and a kids pen.

    Turn the clock back and never let people like Rupert Murdoch, Tim Lovejoy and Richard Scudamore and their ilk anywhere near the game.
  • stubs1310stubs1310
    Divide the playing pitch into thirds and revise the offside rule so that you can only be found to be offside in the last third.
    Make Match officials more accountable for their decisions by having their performance judged by an independant body after the game with both managers being allowed to submit questions for them to answer.

    Three points once in a while would do me for now.

    We start the season with 23 cheerleaders and after every game, after lots of studying of movement,presentation,outfit,effort, get to vote off the worst one each game , whittling it down to an outright winner in May.;-)

    Don`t agree with rule changes to the beautiful game but agree that the division of money as it is at present will be the death of football as we know it.

    Ten minute sin bins for dissent to the ref.
  • BallbusterBallbuster
    Safe standing (terracing was far better) and salary caps linked to turnover!
  • BallbusterBallbuster
    ....also...no more semi's at wembley and replays for drawn cup finals after extra time...bollocks to Champs League!
  • ImissthepeanutmanImissthepeanutman
    If 2 balls end up on the pitch at the same time as a result of an over enthusiastic or hopeless ballboy.

    That ballboy is then hung drawn and quartered and then fed to a pack of hyaenas specially housed in a cage on the SE quadrant for the purpose. The large screen can be used to show this to all as an appetiser for the Fish.

    Assistant referees ( Linesman) should be on motorised carts (like those cameras at the 100 metres) which move automatically in line with the final defender.

    They should also specialise in flag waving in the style of Team America.

    Cheers guys. I'd used the term 'footie experience' in an ironic way. Have you noticed that once we could just take kids out for the day whereas now we're invited to have a quality time family experience? I'd wondered what attractions would be developed to increase crowd attendance. Sharing out the money so that football can survive doesn't seem to be on the agenda.
