Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub
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.


Thing is you're not allowed to play younger players. Luton were fined for playing a youthful side against a BPL youth team with over age players!

Can't believe people don't want it, we've been to Wembley twice in this competition. The game in 1998 was one of the finest moments of my life as a Town fan! Last year was a failed experiment but no reason to dump it. Who wouldn't want local derbies with teams Scunny and Lincoln????

I say invite the Conference teams if they need more numbers, even the Championship teams as long as it's the full team not the U-23 one. Get rid of groups, too many meaningless games.

Factually incorrect 09...they werent fined for playing a youthful side at all, in the words of Mr Harvey himself...

   "We didn't actually fine clubs for playing younger players. We fined them for not playing enough senior ones"

Thank you very much for picking me up on this point of crucial importance.

What a prat that Harvey is!

I'm intrigued by how exactly option 2 works.

I know, but I'm only talking about one or two players being promoted to the squad not fielding half of the junior team like Luton were doing.

It's just a case of making the best of a bad job isn't it?

The final will be played with three teams on a triangular pitch.

Or maybe a system of byes - e.g. 16 byes in the 1st round would leave 32 teams in the 2nd.

Yes, i fell into thinking the same as you when i first heard the story, i had felt sorry for Luton as i thought they made a stance ...however on reading Mr Harveys explanation i now fully agree with him that Luton acted dispicably and deserved to be fined.

Aren't some teams given a "by" we were given one in 2008 or 2009 if memory serves me correctly
