5 substitute rule

[andyd]

I see last night at the Coventry v Birmingham game both sides had 20 men squads and were able to use 5 subs. Apparently though the new rules say there can be only 3 breaks for subs interesting. Will Stanley have 9 subs today?

This rule is for big teams and big squads - in my opinion.

Do not like it at all, but the game is changing, so I will have to get used to it........

I think it's 5 from 9 in the top two divisions but 5 from 7 in Leagues 1 and 2

no we do not have to like it and once it affects us we,ll like it even less. think anyone who thinks its a good idea and their team has a small squad will quickly change their mind when their subs bench has a couple of fringe players on it and the rest of it made up with kids. then the opposition has a full bench of fringe and first team regulars on it. the game will never be a level playing field but this subs thing makes it worse.

We're only allowed 7 on the bench. 3 breaks plus half time .....
