Football is Transient

On 22 Feb 2022 I attended a level 7 game that was abandoned due to crowd trouble.
One team looked odds on for promoted to level 6 whilst the other held (unrealistic) hopes of the same.

Less than 2 years later.
1 club is at level 5 and keeping a level 1 club to a draw in a competitive fixture at the same venue. The other is at level 10 with out a ground.

as for replays. I would like to see more changes that would help interest (not everyone would agree).
1 - Seeding, so the top clubs are always away.
2 - Penalties after 90 mins.

Rational
1 - People want upsets; surely more chance with bigger clubs playing away.
2 - Would smaller clubs like the prize money and the chance of another big pay out?

Remember - there is a 50/50 chance of being away, but or about 30% being away at a top flight club (less that against a glamour club)

I am probably in the minority.
