I think what could kill it is if one or even both finalists are Premier League development teams. Just imagine the attendance of a Swansea U23 v Manchester City U23 final. As much as the first year was a failure there was still a well attended Wembley final with all the financial benefits at the end. Your average Swansea or City fan wouldn't be bothered about trekking all that way for their youth team, don't even think if one of the London teams got there they'd be too bothered either.

Yeah that's a very good point. The FL (the E can fuck off) got very lucky with last year's finalists.

Yep, let's hope for a proper boycott once again without splitters like the Cov fans ruining things. It would be amusing to see that smug rear end Harvey attempting to explain how the competition had been a success with average attendances a fraction of previous levels.

If I was sceptical of Harvey and Co, I would almost think it was fixed.
I will be twitching, but still boycotting. UTM.


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'

Agreed Civvy. It'll be difficult to be playing either of those sides and not attending, but the path is set now. Boycott all the way.

This will be so hard to boycott but I stand by my decision until the under23's aren't in it

No chance I will be going. Got to keep up the boycott. Have no sympathy with the club who've completely let us down.
