Oh they’ll definitely fill it, Luton is an hour from Wembley and Cov have a big floating fanbase in the city itself and across Warwickshire and other parts of the WM.

Phase 2 ends a week on Friday, so presumably a second hike just in time for payday so the one chance to actually flog a few more will be up in smoke. A commercial operation that has long lost the plot…

No

End of the day of the manager doesn’t fancy him and wants to take the team in a different direction, then fair enough… so let’s just hope we aren’t seeing another statement re his own position in the coming weeks.

I would wager it won’t make one iota of difference to the quality of player we would see getting into the first team here - which is the entire point of being Cat 1. So keep it, remove it, makes no odds.

So we wouldn’t be seeing the likes of Adam Wharton and Phillips without relegation at U21 level? (Despite not having it at U18s?)

‘The disaster that was almost brilliant’

What’s that got to do with my question?

The games aren’t *competitive*, doesn’t mean that individual young lads aren’t committed.

You five years old?

Yet pundits aways come out with the usual cliches that’s its the exact opposite, I.e 6th place and then storming to promotion- Kevin Phillips was at it last night…

It is what it is, it will never be ‘competitive’, it’s glorified training matches. A first teamer getting back to fitness will always go through the motions, the cream of the crop like Phillips and Wharton will still make the first team - you want competition, win one of the cups.

We take substantially more away now then we did in the later PL days.

If you say so, it doesn’t look particularly competitive anyway from what I see in games.

To be fair the ‘EFL’ is the clubs and the admin of the EFL purely put into action the decisions made by its member clubs. Sky are not to blame, they’ve got airtime to fill and customers to keep, they made an offer, the clubs weren’t forced to take it - it’s the clubs who have no regard for fans, and this particular club is seeing the result of that this summer…

Not arrogance, parachute money.

It’s a development league, so why should there be relegation? Just make two divisions of 14 and let the winners of each have a ‘grand final’ or whatever. As long as clubs get some gems for the first team each year that’s all that matters.

🤣

*Most don’t away from here…

I thought that when a poster gave the recruitment chief an ‘A’ for the season…

Stay around mid table and then a late charge in the final few weeks means plenty of Saturday 3pm games too 👌

You actually need to ask? Nothing silly about the Hull game scheduling to you then?

Did TW even pay enough to cover Swag’s wages this season never mind that of players?

The Issas are of Indian descent.

With all other local teams elsewhere, Swag will be mulling over the return of Category A+ for PNE...
