And if it was about introducing B teams in to the lower leagues, I'd simply boycott those games. As would thousands of others.

Listening to Lee Power on talkSport, I know it's been mentioned earlier on here but if you haven't listened to it already, you should do: https://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1589716800/1589720400/Some of it may be Power exaggerating the case for a bailout for Leagues 1 and 2, but it's very worrying stuff: "Only a handful" of clubs left in September if something isn't done

I think he's blowing smoke a bit but the reality probably isn't too far off.

He’s right, though. No club, at least in L1/2, could play games with no paying fans. So it’s a matter of whether clubs can hang on long enough until there are.
He’s a canny fucker, though.

Thanks for sharing, Paul. Appreciated. I often miss Power when he does make the occasional radio appearance. "1/3rd or 30-40% of clubs won't make it through to June or July from what I'm hearing" If no crowds till January? "If we had no financial help, we couldn't start the season" Canny, he is. On B teams: "I just don't think that the supporters would ever let that happen."....but acknowledges that landscape is now changed.

Supporters won't really get a look in. If the owners of these struggling clubs get a decent offer, will they refuse to cash in their chips just because Reg from Haydon Wick don't like it?

Unless a club has a rich owner no club will have any cashflow and will effectively be insolvent come September, the fact Cheltenham are saying they can't afford to even play the play-offs emphasises this.

But they were going to win the League? Ben Tozer said so.
