My thoughts entirely and very well put. The thing that amuses me is that I'm not a true fan if I don't go to these games.The crux and why I boycott is that the Premier League are involved for one reason only, which is ultimately to get their B teams allowed into the EFL. This would effectively destroy the Football League competition for the fans of every other club. If the format of the league remains unchanged that would mean 20 Clubs pushed into non league, and what would happen to Clubs relegated from the Premier, would they be allowed to maintain B teams. By offering the carrot of money for the competition, which is being gobbled up by struggling clubs, they will make teams reliant on this. In the long term clubs are shooting themselves in the foot by going along with this. Yes it may be good for Matt to play fringe and youth players, but in the long run our major competition the EFL, could be devalued, changed beyond all recognition and rendered totally meaningless ! The Premier League have already devalued the FA Cup and League Cup by putting out carp teams, getting rules changed, to scrap replays, move later round games to midweek etc. They care nothing for fans or supporters of other teams. only themselves. There is so much more to football, than just the wrecking ball of the Premiership, and EFL Clubs should stop and realise that they are "turkeys voting for Xmas".
