They should have the standard league system.
The FA cup.
The league cup / non league trophy.
That's it.

B teams is an acceptable name for the under 21 and under 23 sides as those teams replaced the reserves at the elite level. And despite the age category titles clubs are allowed to play over age players. For example 35-year-old Tom Huddleston is player-coach for Man Utd under 23s.

How do I buy a match pass for tonight’s game? It says on Mariners TV FAQs that all Papa Johns fixtures can be purchased for £10 on a game by game basis (other than the semi final and final). However I can’t figure out how to do this. Does anyone have a link please?

You will probably have to wait till the office opens, as they normally put a link on Town website or Mariners TV. It's been a bank holiday weekend so that is more than likely the reason for the delay. |

I seem to remember conference teams being in it, tony crane and morecambe ring a bell, don’t know why it changed.
I bet that ball is still in orbit. |

Ok thanks, that makes sense! |

Now you mention it, I seem to remember this. I don't think it was all of them, just a few to make up the numbers? |

And when the PL cut the funding they provide for the B teams to enter what happens to the EFL Trophy when it is financial nonviable like it was in 2016? NB. it's part of the solidarity payment agreement, The agreement that gives each L2 club just over £600,000 a season from the PL when the EFL's own TV deal only provides L2 clubs with around £450,000 a season.
And when Sky Sports turn to the EFL and say "if we don't get the EFL Trophy Semi-Finals and Final to broadcast we're renegotiating our TV deal" what happens then? Even a 5% drop in TV revenue would be damaging.
And when the PL then decide to further punish the EFL for reneging on the EFL Trophy funding deal by pulling all their clubs out of the EFL Cup what happens then?
And when you realise that an estimated 75% to 80% of the value of the Sky/EFL TV deal is from the EFL Cup rather than the league matches what happens to the TV income for the 72?
So by the "EFL standing up to PL" you'll see everyone's income go down and the EFL Trophy more than likely abolished which would then be used as an excuse to either pull all the Premier League clubs, or at least the 7 or 8 playing in UEFA Club Competitions each season, out of the EFL Cup. And that would destroy the EFL TV deal and mean multiple clubs in serious financial difficulties because of the huge drop in turnover that would bring. Which would mean the EFL would have to go cap in hand to the PL begging for increased solidarity payments. And what do you think the PL would want in return for more money/a bail-out?
Is getting under 21 clubs out of a trophy nobody cared about pre-2016 unless their club got to the last 8 really worth all that?
The answer is "no", which is why all the clubs in L1 & L2 reluctantly accept it for what it is.
Football existed and survived quite well before the Premier League. If the Premier League went down the route of cutting funding, the EFL clubs would have to adjust and cut their cloths appropriately. A closed shop Premier League would be of more harm short term to the Premier League than it would the Football League clubs. |

Long term we have to have a fairer deal for lower league football. We can't get this by rolling over to the big clubs every time they wave a few quid in front of us. Make no mistake they want our place in the pyramid for their reserves. If people start accepting this competition, non league and league 1 and 2 will be next. |
