All said above are facts but i think one thing that has been forgot is that all players these days nolonger play with skill like back in the days these days its all about the money who makes more money when they sell the players basically its more about making profits off players who are overrated

I agree because now there are other leagues that pull crowds than fa cup does so to new football fans they don't feel it so much

English F.A Cup is no longer what it used to be!

English FA Cup is no longer the traditional competition it used to be for numerous reasons. Wembley Stadium is now rectangular which makes its atmosphere crowd too close up without its previous distant circular Stadium which you could hear crowd fans chants with their Flags. Watching TV FA Cup Final was much better spaced out then currently now much more closer just looks like regular Millennium Stadium in Cardiff Wales. Competition plays its semi-finals also at Stadium which wasn't before because you had to win semi-final at another larger ground to have privilege of being in Wembley final so this tradition has been broken. For about last 6 years the Final Kickoff time has been brought forward by 2 hours so its 3.00pm kickoff time tradition has been broken to 5.00pm. In early Millennium Manchester United opted out of the FA Cup Competition to play in World Club Championship which meant there was odd number of teams participation in FA Cup which caused losing team to be reinstated to make up even remaining teams left by special draw so this broke & breached significant tradition of being eliminated. Competition is now Sponsored which didn't happen before so it breaks its neutrality tradition while in recent years seems to be much less upsets while the Big Premier League teams seems to make the quarter finals then semis to final more regularly making much less unpredictable as its been 40 years since last time 2nd Division team won it so is the English FA Cup competition is no longer traditional on what it used to be?
