Well this time they have listened to the fans but unfortunately, it seems the format is here to stay as other clubs have voted for it??

As Cod Almighty have suggested, spend money in the Club Shop if you don't want to attend the games - I think that's a fair shout!

Better news that Town have started to listen and vote with the fans wishes. I certainly won’t be attending any of the games under the current format but I will now make sure I spend my ticket money in the club shop every time their is a game. Would be a shame if people started attending now because that just legitimises the competition. But we can be proud of the club’s stance.
It is hard to forget that the fans have been called bullies by the club over this issue though, but credit to those who’ve made this decision.

And, by the way, thank you to the GTFC board for listening to the fans!

Let's hope that this is a sign of things to come!

Maybe donating the money to the YDA would be more beneficial and appropriate? Let’s just say theres 2000 people missing the game but donating their tenner ticket money that’s £40k for them if we matched this season’s performance and fixtures. That would be a big boost for the Youth and would benefit the English game as the PL want to do by invading this competition.

Brilliant idea. Could be something the Trust could faciltate and add an online donation page. Think more people would donate than would’ve attended the games.
Our youth setup is providing us with first team players and long may that continue.

If the club and supporters feel so strongly about it, then the easiest solution would be simply don’t enter the competition
