Luton vote in favour of B-Teams. After the fines they received as well.... give me strength.

EFL Trophy in the present format devalues the competition as far as I'm concern, I think fans will vote with their feet no matter what the clubs decide

 

[DAV007]

It's an awful competition, as bad as the local county FA trophy.

Get rid of it, total waste of time

Efl Board meeting today, results to be announced tomorow

BREAKING: A good source has just informed us EFL clubs have received an embargoed press release, stating EFL Trophy format will be retained.

AH piece in Times today implied EFL clubs were 'warned' last season that PL would withdraw its payments if they didn't vote to accept the new format for the Chuckatrade Trophy.
Then all but Chelsea, if I recall right, of the big boys declined to take part.

So the clubs sold out its beliefs for afew extra quid, hope the rewards for winning games is bigger than the losses made by low crowds

Checkatrade Trophy: Under-21 teams to remain in revised competition - BBC Sport

 

[Lord Didsbury]

The changes look ok to me, in the spirit of compromise. Best to give it another go....not that I'll bother going to any of the games.

Still a car crash - the 'changes' don't alter the way the 'big boys' have waded in & got their own way. I won't be at any of our games in this joke of a competition

Having read the full report, I can see what they're trying to achieve in giving young players a taste of competitive football.
The trouble is, too many of 'the big-boys' have actually 'waded-out!'
I'd pay to see Stanley play Man U under 21's.
