Subman Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 [size=4]During the trip to Bristol city I was informed by a Bristol club official that next season the football league would be reverting back to seven subs. Can anyone confirm this or heard the same? I believe this would be a good thing.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The majority of Championship clubs wanted to keep 7. but L1 & L2 wanted to revert back to 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Have we got 7 (adequate) subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I dont know why 5 isnt enough to be honest. Has 7 subs really made any difference apart from keeping a few squad players happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Back to 7 I say..............It would give us something to moan about if we didn't have a full quota.

uttoxram75 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Should be two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Should be two. Does that mean 'it used to be two'? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmini Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 There was a meeting about this a few weeks ago, as many clubs complained that 5 subs was to restrictive and many players were left on the sidelines because of the 5 only rule. I dont know the outcome though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying you should be able to use the number that you put on the bench. So it doesn't have to be two, I guess. Used to be three when I was a kid, and you could use all. I'd go for that.

MuespachRam Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The only reason there is 7 subs is so 7 men who arent good enough to play in the first 11 get their money and dont get all mardy about not playing. 2 is ample subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
