Quoted from sonik
What ever our club voted we would still be playing in this game tonight.


Not remotely relevant though is it? We would, of course, still have been playing this fixture but then the competition wouldn't have represented a threat to the FL system as well as a threat to clubs such as ourselves. As it is we stand on the cusp of having our footballing existence demeaned and trivialised and only through incredibly low attendances at these games do we have any say in our futures. You can bet your bottom dollar that if there is anything positive to take from introducing the reserve teams that the men at the top will clutch at it and force through the introduction of the Old Firm and reserve teams in to the FL. I don't want to watch us play Celtic and I certainly don't want to watch us play a load of kids who can't even make the bench at Middlesbrough. In an ideal world we'd have the men in charge of our clubs standing up for the club's and our interests but they've once again demonstrated how out of touch they are. Sadly, as we can't count on your brother to do the right thing, this means the only avenue left is to boycott games. Nobody is doing that lightly as it isn't the players' faults and I certainly wouldn't call out anyone who chooses to support Town in these games. However, I would say that to not boycott these games you must either be pretty short sighted or, in the case of you and your brother, completely out of touch with the vast majority of FL fans.

You asked for an answer and a swearing cop out is the reply. 72 clubs, 2 or I may now believe 8 against the proposal. It was only a show of hands and some are now saying they are against it. This is a trial year for this format.


Just shows how far out of touch John and fellow owners/chairman are and how easily they can be bought

For what its worth I don't want that to happen. No! Not sure of John's stance but will ask him shortly. What ever our club voted we would still be playing in this game tonight. People that know me or John for that matter will surely not think that we are not proper Town fans with the best interests of our club at heart. UTM!



Thank you for your honest reply, and it will be interesting to here if John feels it would be good for Premeirship B teams to join League 2.

If his answer is no, why did he think it would be ok for Premiership B teams to play in a competition for Leagues 1 and 2.  A competition that was part of our first visit to Wembley, one that we deserved because we beat real teams.

Dave.

Sadly I can't go as I'm away that week but it staggers me to believe that any chairman/owner/major shareholder would ever contemplate allowing Prem B teams into any competition - it must have been a bloody good sales pitch after some serious vino.

Quite ironic really that a roll call for a Town away game on The Fishy will have the most replies on it, even though it will probably be our lowest away attendance for several years.

In fact there's probably more replies on this thread already than will actually be at the game.

Support the team but do it from home. Its not the players fault this has happened. But the only way to stop this idiotic situation is to never set foot in a stadium hosting trophy football
