The EFL Trophy Thread

[shoddycollins]

The sponsors have already liked a tweet that any publicity is worth having, so I doubt they care about the attendances. The Premier League Clubs don't give a stuff about it anyway. They are more interested in the door it opens to B Teams rather than genuinely thinking that the Johnstones Paints offers any real benefit to their starlets.

That leaves the Football League who make the FA look competent and honest.

Well that's just really an argument that any boycott would be purely symbolic and ineffective anyway, which I sort of agree with. I just feel that it would look better for us if there was a big difference in attendance between lower league v lower league versus lower league v academy.

Would anyone care if the whole competition was abolished?

Agree with all your recent posts on this subject, including your points about Portsmouth fans' plans. If fans of any club are worried they may make a loss on these games, just donate what you'd spend on a match ticket to the club directly. If you think your club is run by shysters/crooks/comedians, then donate instead to your supporters trust/association or 12th man fund or whatever. Really struggling to get my head round turning up en masse, then walking out

Make sure the club makes a loss.......that is the key here.

The people who make the decisions need to know it hurts them financially to do so.......it is the only weapon we have left.

Has to be done for once, a short term pain for longer gain.

Our owner is already blubbing to fans who will be to blame if they boycott at hurting the club.....good is my answer they deserve hurt.

Exactly just like the vote to leave the EU.

I'm still looking for evidence of long term gain from Brexit.

No relatively big Conference club used to make any money from the FA Trophy, yet all 24 clubs still enter.

Looks like quite a few Argyle fans will be staying away judging from Pasoti. I certainly won't be going, this is just the begging of league 3.
