Under absolutely no circumstances.

The Premier League is intent on destroying the smaller clubs firstly through playing FA Cup games on weeknights and abolishing replays, then by adding a winter break, and then be gradually bringing B teams into the league.

It's a complete shambles.

Any new temporary measures introduced for a fixed time period have a habit of quietly continuing into permanance.

Bad ideas need strangling at birth.  It may already be too late for that.

Prem clubs should be careful for they wish for.   In 20-30 years time there might be no football pyramid to support them.

To turn the question on its head, if the participation of the U-23 sides in the EFL Trophy was the full extent of the EPL sides involvement in the fixture list, would it bother you?

Of the big sides, only Chelsea and Everton fielded teams last year so even the big PL clubs largely boycotted it. I suspect many England internationals of the future never even benefitted from playing the likes of us. Surely the best chance of getting this tournament to fail would be to persuade the PL and Champ sides not to take part, it would be a total joke if they had to invite Conference sides! Most of those who did take part were knocked out quite early.

The best way to get this tournament to fail would be for owners and chairmen and CEO's to stop sucking Shaun Harvey's member and fking vote NO.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  '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'

I've always said not sure if anyone would agree but scrap the FA trophy or leave it to the North and south clubs and lower. Bring the National League into it and have 3 leagues. It gives the National league teams a good day out and vise versa.

It didn't make a scrap of difference either way what our club voted since there was a big majority in favour of the current format. 50 league chairmen can't be wrong can they?

Yes they can. It makes a huge difference which way we voted as the club we're completely aware of the majority of fans feelings.

     "I certainly don't think the competition has been successful, and talking it up has been foolhardy,"  

"There has clearly been unrest and there's been a massive rejection from the fans."  John Fenty in the GET on April 7th

If we voted against we can be proud of the stance the club has taken. A vote for and we have been let down.
