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"

Won't be going to any of them.
Shame, because in usual circumstances I would of loved Pox and Exeter away.

Job for the Trust methinks?
Should be supporters' club, not Trust. The trust getting involved with something like that is not going to help their non-existent relationship with Power, and it's a fan issue, not a Trust issue. In my opinion of course. |

Traditionally, the Trust have always been the more activist of the two, the SC see their job as solely raising money to help the club and never engage in anything that could be construed as critical or unsupportive of the club. The Trust is, or should be, all about "fan issues", that's what it's supposed to be a "Supporters' Trust", to represent a supporters' views on how the club/game is run. If you want a games boycott organised, the Trust is your only hope. If the Trust are too scared of damaging a relationship they don't have, they need to look at whether that is skewing their core priorities. |

Apparently Southampton told the FL that they didn't want to be drawn in the same group of Pompey due to police costs.

Unfortunately, we now have Luke Williams saying how excited he is about the prospect of playing Chelsea U 21.
Now don't get me wrong he's in a difficult position....but I kind of take this as an insult to us fans, who are boycotting.
Now Adi Viveash may be excited about it, a chance to take his charges to the CG and gain a bit of revenge for the stick he used to take as a player.

Staff/players will always have a different take on this than fans. May be it hasn't even occurred to him how fans would look at this as an insult to lower league sides and even an existential threat, assuming you don't believe Scudamore that it's not the thin end of the wedge. Which, given it's Scudamore, is a given |
