we've had massive problems with the pitch over the last few years which haven't been helped with reserve games and burnley reserve games etc etc being played on it. Is the pitch significantly improved enough now to risk churning it up?

If it could cope with twice as many games then does it make financial sense to have the players hanging around longer for evening games? can our medical 'division' cope with the extra strain on players getting knocks?

If all the above can be answered yes then no doubt we'd have a reserve team. Personally I'd love to see it pushed more and more as the option to 'modern' football. Back to where many of us once stood amongst empty terraces and voices echoing around derelict grounds - the non league feel. We have around 1200 home fans and 1100 of them regularly don't go to away matches .... maybe reserve games could fill the void?
