Then I'm sorry but you really don't give that much of a shit anyway (which is fine, but just don't use boycotting as a reason). Ok, you must know me better than I do then. 47 years a season ticket holder, seem us play on every ground I can in most of that time (except MK, another principal of mine), was at Charlton on Sat but I'm not a fan.

Not kidding yourself, just wasting your time. It's completely up to you of course... But if you have spent your Saturday afternoons in the past watching us get stuffed 5-0 at Hereford and 7-0 at MK Dons and every other of the 100s of defeats against shite teams... You've put up with all that, yet you will give Wembley a miss for the sake of boycotting a match between 2 teams in the same division. I just can't get understand that reasoning.

Because watching us for the next 50 years, though thick and thin, is better than watchng them in Non League whislt Leicester B take our place. I can't see how someone cannot see the consequences or trust FL, Clarke and Premier League. But each to their own. Agree to disagree too.

opinions4u Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I wouldn't normally respond this way, but: Those claiming you/I are not real fans if we fail to attend a Football League Trophy game, regardless of the U21 aspect of the competition, can fuck right off. Go if you want to. Enjoy it if you want to. Don't tell me it makes you in some way a better supporter than me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you 2 are not seeing the agenda being pushed by the premier league here. They have made clear intentions here that they want their own B teams in the football league the EFL trophy is their way of getting people used to the idea. This would then bring them in line with the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona. The idea that not wanting to go to this makes you less of a fan is complete bollocks and is the type of blind loyalty that gives people running football the green light to take the piss out of football fans. I wont stand in the way of others wanting to go but I dont like my club being involved in this competition in its current format with the involvement of B teams if that makes me less of a fan in your eyes then Glory Glory Man Ufuckinnited!

sjk2008 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I’m definitely a hypocrite. I have no intention of going to the games, however if we miraculously got to Wembley, then sorry, but I’d be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, my main reason for going is because my circumstances dictate I can't go to as many games as I'd like. This one I can get to, so I'll be there. Totally respect others reasons for not.

There's no evidence at all that points to there being any negative consequences from taking this competition seriously and the money that goes with it.

Why is the premier league chucking money at league clubs to keep their u23 teams in it? Why do they bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
