Just spotted that BBC and ITV have lost the UK rights to the FA Cup from 2025/26 to TNT (BT)

4 year deal agreed

Is that the final nail in the FA Cup coffin? How can it being on pay to view TV (and the least accessible pay to view TV) be good for the competition?

We should probably check who has the TV rights to the LDV Vans/EFL Trophy or whatever that farcical competition is called.

That will highlight how far we've fallen. Hopefully we can avoid that situation but we are making it very hard for ourselves.

2016 and there are 16 development sides included. Brentford actually aren't one of them but whichever u21 side we would end up playing it would be embarrassing for QPR, especially because it's regionalised.

Hopefully we can avoid that plight. I imagine even League 1&2 sides treat those games as development games and crowds must be incredibly low.

Edit - looks like attendances are around 1000-2000 on average. We can do look forward to that 🙄

Sad business to see what used to be such a magical competition stoop so low.... We can blame the media provider for being so difficult to watch, but in truth it is (yet again) the grandees at the FA being short-sighted! Money is not all!!

Proudly supporting QPR

It was the only day that we'd get to see football on the telly and the build up would start from about 9.00 in the morning. Great days!

I remember when I was a kid and we was in the final against spurs and the big build up as you say stoatey started literally from about 9 o’clock in the morning
They were at the teams hotels and basically followed them till kick off time
It was really exciting especially if your team was in the final even in the replay
It was also quite a emotional time if your team lost,the FA cup meant a lot more back then than it does now

Maidstone Vs Ipswich was pretty magic just a few weeks ago!

It's the big clubs attitude, probably even medium sized clubs attitude, towards the competition that has ruined it.

I’m all for Maidstone progression in the cup now for their sheer attitute towards the cup and hope they go as far as they can
They beat my local team Chesham which I watched with my son and grandson and over 3000 other fans at the meadow
Normally Chesham get about 400 fans
Ipswich fielded a reserve side and underestimated Maidstone they deserved all they got.
The FA cup will never be the same purely down to greedy TV sponsorship and high earning footballers who only care about their own back pockets
