Rovers voted for the system to remain the same.
So, the same then. The article on our website didn't even mention the view of the fans, sad to see.
One of the stated headline objectives of the revised Checkatrade is to "Improve the revenue opportunities of EFL clubs".How that sits alongside the fall in attendences from an average of 3221 (in 2015/16), to 1404 (in 16/17) is not explained by the EFL.You have to think that the alleged benefits come from some other source of value.For what its worth, I think that the Championship will be eventually be floated off as a seperate competition from L1 and L2. The revenue potential of media rights will be captured by the haves, and the have nots will be cut adrift.After that, a short hop later a feeder for Prem "B" teams will be set up, so entry into the hierarchy is enabled for the big clubs "B" sides through to the higher levels. Rovers and their like will be by-passed.It is all about marketing, and the brand identity and recognition of the package to consumers abroad. The traditions of the game, and fans opinions, are just a hazard to be negotiated on the way.

I see that Pep Guardiola? Wants to have 2nd teams playing in the league. If that is the case have a league purely for 2nd teams played on the same day that the 1st team plays, he might not be so keen then methinks

It's not about having an opinion though it's having knowledge and the ability to shape the discussions. I have a meeting with Shaun Harvey on Friday, if you wish to table a question I'm more than happy to try and have it added to the agenda.

Ah okay, well raising that issue is certainly important because as much as they've said "this isn't the thin end of the wedge" umpteen times, it is hard to believe them due to this continued feature of U21 sides in the Checkatrade.
