Chelsea have already negotiated for our game to be moved.

Where to? Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo?

Hah.

Sorry I meant the date.

Don't give them ideas...

Normally any game against the Scum gets my juices going but I couldn't give a toss about this one. I'm boycotting the competition. Hopefully a Blackburn v Reading under 21 final. No crowd at Wembley and the prize money going outside the bottom 2 divisions who should be ashamed of voting it through.

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

Shrewsbury are off to Middlesbrough

This is the attitude people should have instead of just boycotting just the U21 teams.

If they don't, the Sky generation (watching their team's future egos) will mask the crowd drop from those boycotting. If we boycott every game, then hopefully all games have reduced crowds and make it look a farce. Sadly, I don't think they'll be any discernable difference.

Swindon v Chelsea reserves/B Team/U21/kitchen staff/whoever is available is on w/c 12th September

Swindon v Pox w/c 3rd October

Exeter v Swindon w/c 7th November

Its interesting that Man Utd declined the invitation, the way that Mourinho is spunking money around there B team could be worth 2-300 million plus and include none of the young hopes we are always told about!

I see West Ham are playing all their fixtures away from the Olympic Stadium in the FLT Trophy

Scudamore has said that PL B teams in the EFL is not going to happen.

Whether people believe him or not is another matter.

Perhaps more of a concern, in terms of threat to the integrity of league pyramid structure, could be the new PL2 under 23 league being the precursor to the closed shop Premier League of two divisions.

Hmm, you may have something there - "We're not going to fuck up your league by putting our B teams in it, we're going to fuck it up by pulling up the drawbridge"
