the comment " when we are playing B Teams it will be your fault"

What a childish load of bollocks. There will be far more people up the chain to blame than a supporter choosing to watch the game on Tuesday night.

If you dont stop posting nasty things i will tell my mummy on you........ FFS

Didn't say there wouldn't be people that should shoulder more blame than those who went but there are only one set of people who care what happens to this club and it's the fans.
If the only people who care about the club do nothing to stop it happening then should they feel guilty or just blame people higher up the chain who's intention is just to make money anyway?

You clearly stated ' when we are playing B Teams it will be your fault ' to a poster who went to the match.

. Your insinuation that anyone who attended the match care for our club less than the ones who stayed away is utter fucking bollocks. If this was not your intention then accept my apology.

But Flannel, the beauty of supporting our club is respecting all opinions and the knowledge we all want out of the current mess we are in.

Enjoyable game to watch. I think the rules say that we have to keep six players from the last game? Didn't we keep seven?

Most of our players did well. Felt Chapman and Brooks both took their chance and they could be joining the likes of Freeman, Coutts, Done and Scougall, who weren't expected to figure by a lot of people. Thought Sharp struggled and we should continue to evaluate if that position is right for him.

I don't think those that attended care less about the blades, but they either don't care about the possibility of us playing B teams in the future or are ignorant to the fact they are supporting it.
Finnieston said he doesn't care if we play C teams he would go which is an opinion I disagree with but respect which is why I said 'fair enough each to their own'.
I still think though it is a fact that if we end up playing the swine's B team in 2 years it will be the fault of those who supported it. (Not to suggest they care any less or are 'worse' fans).

i have already told you, you are entitled to your opinion, which i respect.

For the record, i didn't go, but my 6 kids did. i explained to them what may happen in the future but they still choose to go. End of conversation.

For what its worth, unlike Spain, Scotland and Italy where lower tier football is watched by very very few, England has a tradition of healthy supported lower league teams with tradition. This in itself will stop enough EFL Clubs from voting it to happen. Now if B Teams from ANY club could join the non league pyramid then i dont see why that could not happen. Provided they can not compete in the FA Cup there would never be a meaningful fixture between any league team and a B Team.

Is that an option?

 

[larkymasher]

Can i also say Flannell,
Our club has got itself into the position, where we are having this debate.

Poorly run, poor management, under performing playing staff. The only constant at our club is the support.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Yeah agree with most of that, I just don't trust our or other football league clubs to knock it back if a few quid is thrown our way which is what frightens me.

unfortunately other clubs have their own agendas, but i honestly think ( without any proof ) that the other EFL Clubs will not vote it through.
