What a load of shite. Another desperate attempt to "americanize" football. Don't know how they think this helps lower league clubs

A nice midweek trip away to Norwich U21's or similar really appeals...

Or alternatively a nice home semi final v Norwich reserves would provide a brilliant atmosphere and much needed gate money. Still this must be what they were talking about the other day when they were saying the plan is to be in a position to win the 2022 World Cup.

January could be fun, at the moment we are looking at Colchester United away on the 7th, although that could alter if either one of us get to the 3rd round of the cup, then the Tuesday we have a none regionalised 3rd round of the EFL cup, where knowing our luck we could draw Colchester United Away. Crikey there would be a terrible mix up with the hashtags that week :)

I think you may be being a tad optimistic bumble. We'll be away at Colchester on the 7th then have the rest of the week free.

I still don't get how the alterations to this tournament will be of help to:
The FA and the England team.
The Premier League.
The U23 Academy Teams.
And last but not least the clubs in League 1 & 2.

Well as i see it theyve just scrapped the 2nd and 3rd highest gate games in the competition.

Shaun Harvey really must either have a screw loose or be taking a good length up his shitter from somebody at the FA.

Shaun Harvey and the rest of the d1ckheads have got to come up with some ideas to justify their own jobs.

It was only last year they were ramming "125 year anniversary" down our throats... Tradition etc etc now the c.nts come up with something like this!? :S
There's only one United!

Each team should have a "joker card" it can play and for 15 minutes afterwards any goals they score count double. Worked on 'It's a knockout'

I won't be attending either. They can decide the winners in who has the shiniest boots for all I care now.
This competition means nothing now.
Can't believe the club voted for these proposals.

Total Joke now theyre just making it up as they go along.

And if 2 invited teams get to Wembley and you end up with a 20k attendance this is going to seriously cost someone a lot of Money

Best thing now would be to make sure this is the last season Shaun Harvey is anything to do with the Football League.

The dick is a total failure first time ever that neither of their cup competitions have a sponsor should fall on his sword now over that issue alone instead of trying to worm his way out of it using a move of office as being the excuse.

But looks like somebody has already said NO as of 2 weeks ago Newcastle were only first reserves and now theyre in.

Can anybody work out who it is ?

And i wouldnt write Norwich off just yet as Liverpool are still in that list and everything coming out of Anfield say that theyre going to say no.

But they wont because theyre a spineless bunch of shits.

A 20k final gate at Wembley will just about cover the expenses so where the hell with no sponsor is the near £2m in prize appearance money going to come from ?

All for the sake of developing young English talent, yet they are allowing 5 over-21s into the academy starting XIs? Absolute joke.

All about nurturing talent that can't quite break through to first team yet, however us EFL clubs are told we have to field at least 5 first team players? Aren't we allowed to develop our youth?

Was already going to be boycotting but now I'll be boycotting even harder...

The winner of the final gets £100,000. That's less than half of one weeks wages for Rooney.

Given there are likely to be an awful lot of 'dead rubbers' I would hope some of the League 1 & 2 sides would substitute 3 of their required 5 first teamers for under 18's in the 1st minute and rest the first teamers for a real competition to help highlights what a complete shambles of a competition this has become

What is the pricing strategy gonna be for these games. Can you really see many geordies flocking to SJP to watch their academy play us. At best you would get a few thousands die hard supporters to pay a fiver. Cant see many paying a tenner. How many of our fans would pay a tenner to watch us play sunderland u21s at home.

Some of the Round Dates are International weeks. So the best players won't be around. Basically a run out for squad players who aren't in National Squads...

I haven't spoken to or read comments from any fan (from any league) who think this is a good idea.
It has been decided by suits in charge with no concern for anyone other than themselves.
I haven't read one reason to persuade me this has any merit at all.
If these so called B teams field any youngsters other than English ones, they are devaluing their own reason even more.
A boycott is the only way to show our displeasure and it should be ramped up as the fixtures approach. Those who do attend should be ashamed.

One more and it turns into a farce as they run out of academies to invite.
