Tomorrow evening

Quoted from forza ivano

agreed.

fair play to the scunts who only had 800 odd for their match

disappointing number of crowds were in 4 figures (just) but other highlights include the 724 at Burton, the 639 at macc and big congratulations to Colchester who only attracted 532 fans to their match

Whoah !!  thats actually about their average gate nowadays so fair play nothing  

I don't think it's fair calling Pete out on this.  There are facts and then there are assumptions,  two different people can interpret the facts in different ways and draw different conclusions.

On revealing Jolley at the press conference, Day said he aspirations of us playing championship football within the next 5 years

A hell of a difference between aspiring to, and saying we will in my mind

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 ?

Yes and whilst they have to be in the competition I hope they do win as many as possible. Doesn't mean I will ever go to a game or support the B team idea.

All very well saying how much we could earn from the comp, £10k here, £20k there, but so do most clubs so we're all square, and only the winners and maybe losing finalists will make the kind of money Lincoln did last season. The clue's in the name. Winners.

And it's all chicken feed anyway. As Virgil nearly said, beware of B Teams bearing gifts.

He actually said "there's no reason why we couldn't be" , preceded by something along the lines of "All being well/if things go well...."

Not quite the clear objective that some on here make it out to be.

Quoted from chelseacity

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 ?

Well old Trafford and the Etihad will probably expand in a few years so that’s the likes of Rochdale Oldham and Bury af risk, I noticed on the Bury forum some fear a merger in the not to distance future. You can look at any of the big premiership clubs and they are just going to grow and grow.

West Ham have all but killed of the Orient and I won’t be surprised if they never  return to league football. Everton and Liverpool are going to be expanding so that will probably kill Chester’s hope of a league return and damage the gate at Tranmere. I can certainly see clubs folding as their fan base dwindles in the near future or even offered incentives to merge as the big clubs no doubt backed by the FA, and whoever is the England manager in full support and it will be spun for the benefit of the national team.

Exactly. Just like the Premier League was supposed to be good for the national team.

Think (26 years on) we finally got as far as we did in the last World Cup before the Premier League, but this year all the top sides, bar France, were poor. A bit like when Leicester won the League. Except we didn't take our best ever chance of winning the thing unlike the Foxes.

Orient aren't (second) in non league because of West Ham, they're in non league because of a mentalist owner.

The Premier League will never be any good for the National Team while the number of non English players is so high, I think I heard a stat that, at this early stage of the season, the English players in the starting 11's (or squads, I'm not sure?) has fell considerably compared to last year, and is currently below 30%
