Surely the club should tell the fans how they voted??

They had four options;
1) 64-team format to include 16 invited teams
2) 48-team format on a straight knockout basis
3) 48-team format with a group stage followed by knockout rounds
4) Abandon the competition

I'd go option C with much increased prize money to allow cheap tickets.

Option C, eh?!  Didn't see that listed up there.....

Option 2 for me, straight knock-out, although Option 3 (or C, as you called it) would give Slade the guaranteed chance of playing more games with the fringe players, which is personally what I think this competition should be used for.

Option 3 for me with the groups being closely rationalised i.e. Town, Scunny, Gimps and Donny?? Maybe initially play groups pre season?

It's the FA Trophy of the Football League. No one's really interested until the latter stages when Wembley becomes a real possibility.

I've no idea how much this competition generates in terms of revenue. As I understand it, last year's disastrous format actually guaranteed more money for each club, so you can see why some clubs will vote for it again.

However, other clubs will see the fixtures as an inconvenience - especially if they're not allowed to name whatever starting XI they choose.

My hunch is that Shaun Harvey will get his way and the competition will remain broadly the same, with a few tweaks made here and there.

We, as paying fans, with a representative on the board, should be told how we voted.

Option 4.

Why bother keeping it alive. Nobody wants it.

Actually, if it makes money without selling our soul then I do.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarkedĀ Ā 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'Ā Ā

Bearing in mind how few reserve games there are in a season this can be one of the few opportunities to keep a full squad active and try one or two kids at a (theoretically) higher level.

But, under no circumstances would I like to see the B Team experiment continue so that really only leaves Option 3 - some group games and perhaps a bit of knockout.
