The Football league executive is now finalising plans. Almost all the league teams voted in favour. Horrible idea in my opinion. http://www.miabcleethorpes.net

Guest User	What a terrible idea, is that clown Greg Dyke responsible? Why would the bottom two divisions vote for this? I take it the B teams can't qualify for Wembley?

Why would the bottom two divisions vote for this? I take it the B teams can't qualify for Wembley? Dunno. It's crap isn't it? Arsenal B v Chelsea B in the final would be so pointless. Getting kicked to bits by Accrington's overweight, hard as nails 3rd choice centre back (cos even lower league dross rest their players in most rounds) will not help some diminutive little 17 year old winger progress his career and win the Word Cup for England. http://www.miabcleethorpes.net

If you're a little club like Morecambe or Cheltenham then being drawn at home against Man City or Chelsea (even though it's the reserves and kids) is going to be a bit of a payday [img]https://images.app.goo.gl/bymuz36koLHofSn79[/img]

Nobody goes and watches reserves at the moment. Not sure why that would change. http://www.miabcleethorpes.net

Even though the premier league clubs don't put a strong team out it's still an occasion for the smaller club [img]https://images.app.goo.gl/bymuz36koLHofSn79[/img]

It was at least a chance for lower league players to maybe get to Wembley. If Man City B & Chelsea B get there every year then even that's gone.
