I'd like to see us win the competition to make some money.

However, I won't be going to any of the games, even if we reach the Final.

Quoted from chelseacity
The thing is last night GTFC earned £10,000 for winning, then they receive £20,000 for participating in the Competition, so that's £30,000 so far banked with another couple of wins in this 1st round that's another £10,000 per win which could make them £50,000 before round 2,  which is then £20,000 per win, what i'm saying here is our club can make some easy cash from this Comp which is what we all want for our club isn't it ?


Making a little cash now but what are the long term effects?

It's akin to a drug pusher giving initial freebies out to get customers hooked.

So the PL give a little money out now, they will eventually start to increase it until clubs are making some real money from this competition. So much so that FL clubs start relying on this money to balance their books. The PL then announce the 'B' team idea again further down the line but threaten to pull this new money out if clubs don't agree. The FL clubs being so reliant on this new money are too scared of losing it, so vote to allow 'B' teams.

Well done to those of you who paid to watch either at the ground or ifollow, professing to love your club. This scenario would be your fault, the destruction of lower league football in England.

I can’t believe so called fans are starting to capitulate after our first win, by supporting this event you are sleepwalking into as MarinerMel puts it “ the destruction of lower league football”. Smell the coffee people the money men are already calling this competition a success, in other words we are accepting the B teams as part our league structure. And we all know what the next step is......
wake up they are taking you for idiots.

On the one hand we want our club to make money,  on the other hand we understand what some of you are saying re the future, or should i say possible future if your right, what if your wrong though ?   Lincoln made half a million out of this comp & it's done some good for them hasn't it ?
It's a bit like damned if you do & damned if you don't. I want the club to make money, but i don't want the leagues to change if that really is the plan, though i could never imagine the EFL allowing Premier B teams to join the leagues, who's place would they take ?  what sort of crowds would we take to say Anfield to watch our team play Liverpool reserves/under 21 ? almost none, that idea would kill off the entire EFL structure & all the clubs other than the Premier league ones, that's not a plan anyone would introduce no matter how stupid we think they can be at the EFL.

Give it a rest Pete.

3 years of having this explained and the evidence laid out for you, and people still refuse to see the bigger picture. Your shout of course but the “playing dumb” routine is wearing thin.

Bullied? Have a word with yourself.

You’ve just intimated you couldn’t see the link between supporting the competition and the negative long-term impact the competition has on the club.  This despite the exact same conversation taking place on a monthly basis on here for the past 3 years at least.

Nobody’s saying you can’t do what you want, that’s the point, but pleading ignorance is no excuse.

Intimated ?  you are having a laugh,

There are no facts on what will happen in the future just people like you saying this will happen,

We do not agree on the facts because there aren't any so you believe in what you want I need more evidence.
