Its good to know that the FA still has a few schemes up their sleeves.
Quote:
The Football Association is trialling the use of sin bins and general secretary Alex Horne is keen on making more radical moves to aid match officials.
Players spend 10 minutes on the sidelines for every yellow card and Horne told The Times: "We should be testing these things to see if they work or not.
In running the body which owns Wembley, he is also interested in having an American football franchise based there.
The stadium already hosts NFL games but Horne wants them to become a permanent part of the calendar - and insists the previous plagued pitch could handle it.
"The damage to the pitch is not so big with Desso turf, the plastic stitching," he continued.
"It's football's home, England's home first and foremost. [But] if we could find another tenant that fitted in and worked, I would go for it. We owe it to ourselves to see if it can work.
"Then we can get the Super Bowl," he said. "You don't rule anything out."
