So until you see who we play in a final, you don't decide whether you are going?
I'll make sure then I'll give a cheer for you tomorrow night then, before I drive the 247 miles home.
Well aren’t you the virtuous fan.
Yes, should we make the final, I’ll bear in mind who the opponent is before deciding to go.
I think, along with many, I’m consistent in disapproving of the Academy sides being in this competition. For a few crumbs from the overladen PL table, we have Academy sides in the domain of the third and fourth tier teams and a thin end of the wedge scenario emerging. Some prominent people in football have voiced their opinion that B-teams could enter the FL and I think this ‘experiment’ in the EFL Trophy is the start of that.
We’ve done this debate to death on here so I won’t go over all the old ground again but I just don’t want to see my team play an Academy side in a meaningful fixture. It’s not what I want to watch nor feel is good for football. My absence in the hypothetical final probably wouldn’t mean much in the general scheme of things, but it’s something my conscience would feel content with.
