They don't have blood on their hands but do we? I really hope it's not a guilty silence from the club.

That's a cracking idea LH. The way things are going with footy now, if those fookers at the top table start to dictate over our leagues as well, i may end up going to watch someone like Clee Town instead for a football fix.

I'd favour a boycott and protests outside the ground at matches. I'm also intrigued as to how we voted and also how our vote is decided.  Do the board come to a collective decision and send someone as a delegate?  Does Fenty, as HiPPO (Highest Paid Person's Opinion) appoint himself, Captain Mainwaring-like ("the appointed leader, which will be me") as our spokesman?  Does anyone get to know what happened?  Were the Trust consulted?

Clearly the timing is snide.It just shows the calibre of people we're dealing with. Too guilty to deal with this at a decent time and consult their 'stakeholders'. Sneaky little feckers. Trust members write to the Trust. Everyone write to the Club to find out what the Club's position is on this. We are already getting mails from disgruntled members. May it long continue. My personal view is that it is a truly dreadful development. I am yet to find anybody on the Trust board who agrees with it. We haven't had the opportunity to discuss it yet but we will. In the meantime I'd urge everyone to sign the petition. Mobilise!! The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress. Joseph Joubert.

The premiership only want this cos they have hoarded so many young players who they refuse to play and refuse to loan out. So if they are missing competitive football by u21 level it's their fault not ours, so the solution is not to make our comps change, it's to change them. I really hope the club wasn't dumb enough to vote for this - it is a slippery slope to B teams meaning even more well funded (but soulless) teams between us and success. English football is probably unique in being so well supported so low down the pyramid, something worth preserving not destroying to benefit primadonership development programmes. BOYCOTT

His stated aim is to get the League restructured and allow 8 more teams into it. This is a back-door way of reducing resistance and allowing B-teams into the League structure. The fans must fight against this latest move against clubs like ours and the fans who support them. If this goes ahead, that is a further step down the slippery slope of Premier League total domination. Remember that well over one half of Premier League clubs are foreign owned and they don't give a t**s about England or English clubs. Fight them on the beaches as Churchill would have said.

This is the reason we're not producing top class youngsters because there's 19/20 year olds who can't even get into their clubs u21 team, it's an absolute disgrace this whole thing.
