Yes I saw that the other day. I don't know if it is actually EQ related, think it's just a state of play. Anyone else think it was a bit odd to mention the fact referees dropped their fees by 15% in the first paragraph?
If you wanted to look at it from a cynics viewpoint you could just assume they're evening up the ledger - lower fees x more cards = same result as last year. Not that I'm a cynic.
