Quoted from Cloudy


It isn't 50 vocal posters on here though is it? If you and JF think it is, and his comments to Ginny suggests he believes it, then you all and he are further out of touch than I first thought.

Lots of fans are very frustrated at the way the club rolled over for the Under 21/23s inclusion in the EFL Trophy, the fact the Trust weren't even aware the meeting was taking place let alone asked for a view, the fact JF stated publically that B teams inclusion in the FL could be a positive thing and above all the club cannot see anything wrong with this.

BTW. JF knows who I am


I get it that allot of fans are unhappy with the EFL decision and I don't agree with the new format either. As far as what JF thinks you will have to ask him,
I am under the impression the Trust did know about the proposal before the meeting again this is something the Trust and JF will have to answer themselves.
I thought we where talking about the FL restructure but you seem to have turned it in to an EFL debate.

I am under the impression the Trust did know  the proposal before the meeting again this is something the Trust and JF will have to answer themselves. They have, they didn't know
I thought we where talking about the FL restructure but you seem to have turned it in to an EFL debate No, it is about the future of the Football League and the smaller clubs, that involves both the restructure and EFL Trophy and anything else that revolves around GTFC and the future of football in this country. .

Quoted from bax


Well the two are very, very different things. Not even close to being the same! No one has told anyone to shut up. Too much fantasy world dreaming from too many Town fans at times.


What was the point you were making though Bax?

And what fantasy world dreaming is going on?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

At the end of the day whoever runs and owns the club (whether an individual, group of fans, or the Trust) someone has to put their hand up at the meeting. All we normal mortals can do is try and influence that person or group of people. If there are a couple of hundred on here and a few more on the likes of Twitter whose comments might fall under the gaze of the decision makers, then that's still more input than 4500 who don't say anything. If The Trust were to make the decision, how do they find out what people think? Most fans don't belong to the Trust, and even the ones who do, are in the main not involved in it in any way. However, you run and organise things very few people will actually have a direct input into the decision.

The other good thing about making your comments on somewhere like this Fishy or Twitter is that it might influence the other 71 sets of decision makers, as it might be seen and enter the collective thoughts of other people.

Not too hard then for Plymouth's board to make public their stance on the proposals.. Bet their fans now feel assured and comforted by this. A bit better than just a "trust me"..

Totally agree with every single thing the Pilgrim's board say..

Quoted from MuddyWaters


A much debated point, means the future is in his hands.



Which he is rubbing madly together right now no doubt as he wiggles with uncontrollable excitement about the new stadium project. I don't know if he will benefit personally but he won't lose out that's for sure and of course he will be able to look upon the Peaks Parkway conurbation as his legacy to the town in general and the social housing section of it as his little bit to aid the poor and downtrodden of the borough.

Well done, Plymouth.

Hope we get another 71 well written responses which oppose the EFL proposal.

Let the Premier League fly off to Asia-we don't want/need them here!
