Breaking News Changes agreed for the EFL Trophy

[mattitouk]

Believe me.. not wanting to turn this into another "Brexit" sounding like thread... but surely with that many major changes made to what the league clubs initially voted for or against.. There must be a re-vote.

Talking of which, if anyone is interested in knowing which league clubs voted for what..... the list is on the link below (apologies, if it has been posted before in an early page)

Obviously, not knowing how the "undeclared" actually voted, I wonder how much closer the ballot would be now with new changes in place?

Worth signing up or if you can't be bothered to sign up, then just boycott the games.

We need a "will Griggs" type chant that all football league clubs can use which expresses our disgust. Perhaps sung at every ground on the 23 rd minute of the first match. Not sure if that has ever been done before

actually I am going to contact supporters direct and make a suggestion

from Supports Direct
-------------------------------
Hi Dave,

I am Nicola Hudson Casework Officer at Supporters Direct and I'm leading on our response to the Football League re-shuffle proposals including the issue of U21 teams being included in the EFL Trophy.

We are currently working very closely with the Against League 3 campaign on publicising the latest developments and are consulting with our member Supporters Trusts and Supporter Owned Clubs to formulate a response and possible action.

If you are a member of a supporters trust please make them aware of your feelings and encourage trust members to attend our Supporters Summit 16th July and Members Day on 17th July at Wembley Stadium, where this subject will be heavily discussed and I will be holding a group workshop for supporters trusts on this topic.

To register to attend the Summit and Members Day follow the link https://secure.ice/?https://www.eve...sf-agm-sd-members-day-agm-tickets-25383094519

And you can read more about the Against League 3 campaign at their website https://secure.ice/?www.againstleague3.co.uk

Thank you for getting in touch and we welcome your input, please keep in touch.

Kind regards

Nicola

this website is very good

note the below Why did the clubs vote for such an unpopular measure?

There are a couple of reasons for this.
The JPT / EFL Trophy is not universally popular with fans. It struggled with attendances (although attendances were not dropping – just consistently low) and was low in the priorities of many clubs who played in it. The justification of many clubs who EFL forced it to a vote.
If the Clubs and League think the trophy is dying, it’s dying because fans aren’t interested and aren’t attending. Supporters were totally ignored with regards to making changes in the competition when they were the ones who could tell clubs how best to revitalise it.
Clubs also receive a funding boost from The Premier League via increased “solidarity” payments. Every League 1 club will receive increased payments from £360k to £645k each, while League 2 payments have gone up from £240k to £430k for each club.

This page is particually interesting and 'proves' the EPL is lying (IMO). Basically The EPL U21 cat one teams are invited, but not Championship teams with Cat one teams . If this is all about EPPP then why are they not invited to join in the same way as the Prem teams?
