Football League want a new division from season 2019-20

[pauld]

Jesus Wept. Anyone who goes to any of these games should be indicted as an enemy of football. Or have squishy veg thrown at them.

It won't take a Chilcot enquiry to work out whether this was a good idea.

[Reg Smeeton]

What's the fine for not fielding a strong enough squad?

I recall when we got fined for this after beating Brentford 4-1...

Even though I'm not thinking about football...lets imagine Chelsea and Spurs are in our group, is it not beyond the realms of possibility that several thousand plastics will turn out, even though no Town fans will bother?

It's bad enough losing to Kidderminster Harriers in this comp....imagine losing to Swansea B.

If its that good for young player development then presumably they wouldn't mind if we played an under 21 team in the League Cup or whatever it is now.

I still don't see this as massively beneficial to U21 set-ups, let alone FL sides.

yes reg, the plastics will backfill when the bigger teams come to town. which is why it is important that  those who want to boycott should also do so when the normal legitimate teams come to town.

doubt my one man boycott will make a difference mind..

Two of us, Batch, two of us. Together we are unstoppable

Make that three. There is zero chance I'd go to any of these games. AFC Wimbledon or Barnet away in the paint pot? Sure. Palace stiffs away in the paint pot, not a fucking chance.

palace aren't in it

Why attend at all? Surely it needs boycotting in full or it has no discernable effect?

advert report that someone else reported that man u (and possibly Liverpool) may not accept their invites..mwhahaha

Fair point., and tricky one. I dind't mind the competition in it's previous form, so would be happy for it to return to so, but you're probably correct.

Man Utd have turned down the invitation, interestingly.

Probably don't want their precious little ones being kicked off the park by LG 2 cloggers.

The proposed format may get them game time in a semi competitive competition but it won't be any style of football the academies are drilling into them.

Pointless exercise to appease the prem

[Bob's Orange]

Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs have rejected their invitation. Man U and Liverpool also.

Time to bin this nonsense.
