New JPT structure

[Forte_Baby]

Could of been the Premier League who approached them rather than the clubs. Seeing fans voicing there concerns enough to make them think not worth it or having to open there staduims to a crowd way below 5,000 fans.

[SAV]

The invite has been widened. ...how :censored:ing far. This is more farcical than an oldham managerial appointment

[BP1960]

Have they got a sponsor yet? the way it's going the comp could completely scrapped.

Fingers crossed.

Would love for it to become a British league cup. Linfield / Abroath / Falkirk a chance to tick off some new grounds at least and maybe more attractive to a national sponser and a better TV deal

[Kusunga_Is_God]

gonna end up playing norwich reserves away

[cardiffexile]

It's looking likely with the withdrawals that we could get Blackburn, Aston villa, Stoke or Everton. What a joke of a competition they have made of it. Good job Bolton downgraded their academy last year otherwise they could have drawn their own reserve team!

[Andy-latic]

Is there a list of the teams that have accepted anywhere?

[LaticsPete]

I made a note of them

Now, where's that postage stamp ?

[Stevie_J]

Is there a list of the teams that have accepted anywhere?

Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland and Swansea.

Blackburn B, and people are saying on social media they will still be going for :censored:s sake.........................

I've seen the EFL chief executive has said they are worried about two academies getting to the final. Amazing. Revamp the tournament and then worry the sides you're bringing in may be successful.

 

There's so much wrong with it covered elsewhere but fundamentally the point was to, apparently, improve the England team. But there's no requirement to play English youngsters...

 

Anyway, I won't be going at all.

[Fergie]

To see us get one over on David Dunn I would certainly be there.

[palmer1]

If we have Fleetwood away (& I hope it is) then I will go as I live 5 minutes away & work 2 minutes from the ground. If not I won't be attending any! Farce of a competition!

[jsslatic]

Middlesbrough B v Cambridge United.

 

Bring on Qatar 2020.

[Stagger Lee]

I still think there is a need for a midweek cup for the smaller teams, biased towards the first half of the season

 

Surely there is someone with the ability to provide one with half decent sponsorship in a format the fans and clubs will accept that works in the football league?

They had one, it was formerly known as the Johnstones Paint Trophy.

[Corazzin19]

So football league teams have to play 5 first teamers or pay a fine, what rules do the academy sides have to abide by?

[SavageTheBeast]

You are a scab if you're attending these games. We need to stick two fingers up to the premier league. The format of the competition doesn't seem that bad but I don't fancy is playing Blackburn rovers under 21s

Wow.

[yarddog73]

Plenty will go if we make the final don't worry about that.

sorry sac but that is a bit strong, people can make their own choices without facing being called a scab. But I for one will be sticking two fingers up at this tournament

[blueatheart]

I might go to the Fleetwood game, if its at home.

 

I won't be going to any fixture involving an academy side and I won't be travelling away.

Bigger. Picture.
