Roverum beat Donny to keep us in the Trophy.
Well they’ve let the genie out the bottle with this competition. Only a matter of time before they start pushing for B teams in the pyramid itself.
An U21 team getting to the final will kill the competition but at the same time bring nearer a far greater existential threat to the pyramid.
Just 5 of the 16 U21 teams currently in a qualifying place. Hopefully Ipswich continue to take this competition seriously and prevent any of the U21 sides winning it this year.
I am going to get rocks for this, but I would have no issue with B sides so long as it did not affect the existing promotion and relegation system and it did not mean any FL side lost their place to accommodate them in the 1st instance.
Reading that article proper turned my stomach. Utterly revolting and wrong on so many levels. Complete woke at it's worst.... me, me, me, it's all about me, entitlement, now, now, now, I want it and screw everybody else; whilst having not the slightest concept of the bigger picture and the detriment to others.
So a new fifth tier? It certainly can't come in above that if it is to ensure the integrity of the pyramid. I don't think many National League clubs will be happy with that state of affairs.
4th tier North and South? whichever way they do eventually go and it increasingly looks like a matter of time. It is not going to be liked IMO by the majority of football fans.
The article may as well read - we want B teams so we can stockpile the best youngsters and not have to pay smaller clubs transfer fees.
