Paul BarryHOST
Due to be implement- implemented next season, so in the '26, '27 season, what are your thoughts around this quite big shift then in grassroots football and any maybe longer term impact that might have upon other sort of programs within the, uh, the game in, in, in the UK?

Aimee KayGUEST
Uh, yeah, like for me, I know there is s- also, like, the rule changes like you spoke about coming in with that.

Aimee KayGUEST
So, like, for me, the FA's probably done a lot of research into the benefits of small formats as an introduction to the game.

Aimee KayGUEST
They've seen other footballing nations shift and decide to act on that too, and keep with the current knowledge and times, so we're not the first country to go to small formats.
