Interestingly the early response on the Scum forum is that rightly they'll be boycotting....so fair to play to them for that.

Oxford and Chelsea. That's going to put a bit of a hole in the boycott I suspect.

I will be boycotting all JPT trophy games as principal, what a farce it's become.
Hopefully this will be the death of the competition, we already play too many games in a season.

Of course not many go anyway....but your point about too many games is highly relevant. Williams has said if we can put out our best XI then we should have enough about us to stay in Div3, but after that we struggle, so the last thing we need is further pointless fixtures. |

“We know that with our very strongest side on the pitch, we’re a competent League One team and everyone can see that if we start to remove players from the starting line-up, we get weaker. |

That could just as easily mean our first 11 could challenge for promotion, Reg. It's all about the spin  That and the squad isn't complete yet, so it's rather a moot point. |

Poor Cheltenham.
One min we're told FL clubs to cut down on fixtures to save travel. Next we see Cheltenham drawing Everton, Bolton & Blackpool in @EFLTrophy

Then feel free to not interpret it either way... I'll go with my interpretation that Williams wants some more bodies, to avoid the struggles we had last season. With this in mind Chrystovski's original point about the new FLT format throwing up unwanted extra games is as pointed out highly relevant. |

If the restrictions are lifted re set number of first teamers having to play from previous league game, then it could be a useful exercise in giving the youngsters a chance. Can't see it happening though, might devalue the competition.  |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

I read last week a number of U21's/B teams were wanting to play all their group games away, meaning the league teams in those groups would all get 2 home games.
Doesn't really matter to me as I decided last month that I wouldn't watch any game involving U21/B teams in this competition, and if we get Pox at home, and a number of people boycott, I can imagine that we could lose money on that game due to the number of coppers that'll still be needed.
