'the greatest football pyramid structure in the world.' Really - what makes our system any better than any of the other leagues in the world, I don't disagree with the sentiment of the email but that does seems a little hyperbolic and OTT.
Why not just do away with the JPT, it was only created in line with the Full Members Cup, which in turn was only created to provide the upper level teams with something to do mid week whilst we were banned from Europe post Hysel. If the Premier teams want something for their young players to play in just reboot the Full Members Cup (I will always remember it as the Simod or Xenith Data Syatems cup anyway!) My first ever game was against Chelsea in the Simod cup January 19, 1988.

There's an inevitable whiff of historical self satisfaction here....it was a fair statement up until about 2008 when the swaggering jack booted Hun, introduced their very own Div 3. Like our own it loses money hand over iron fist, nevertheless last season our own Div 3 average attendance only outdid theirs by a few hundred. Nevertheless our Championship is still the 4th most watched league in Europe....although interestingly the Bundesliga has overtaken the Prem for bums on seats. |

To be honest I assumed they were some manner of city trading company, not just some sort of plumber checking website so they have already achieved something from their sponsorship! |

The fact that Crawley's ground is called the Checkatrade.com Stadium should have given you a clue. |

Sam's been re-tweeting pictures of empty stadiums at tonights games, looks like the fans of most teams are boycotting the games

I feel a bit for the poor fuckers I expect the deal to sponsor was done before this farce started. Could be wrong. |

They were named as sponsors weeks after the draw. They deserve the grief they are getting. |

Looks like somebody started playing music over the Tannoy during the Blackpool game.

Posh won't have taken too much out of themselves before Saturday. Maybe Louis might have softened them up.
