Says the CEO of Portsmouth about the Checkatrade controversy.
Apparently in order for B teams to enter the Football league 90% of the 72 clubs have to vote for it.
So if eight clubs out of the 72 vote against it, it can never happen.
The 90% rule was brought in at their last meeting in the summer and in fact increased from the previous rule of 75%.
This is the first I have heard about this and begs the question, what was all the fuss about.

Well, that's good information Dave, thanks.
One might argue that the boycotts/fuss helped achieved this tightening of the rules.
Perhaps this should have been made more widely known by clubs earlier to encourage attendance - I wonder why they didn't as they would have generated better gate receipts for themselves.
I'd like to see a similar statement from BRFC to allow us to relax our protestations for next seasons' competition - assuming this remains in place, or is strengthened even further.

or is the lure of the bribe too much

I'm sure the FA or Prem teams will be thinking of a way to sweeten the pot for 90% of teams to vote in their favour.
Perhaps they could build us a new 20,000 stadium to win our vote?

I'm Sure i read somewhere (can't remember the exact place) that each club got an extra £50k for allowing the U-23 teams in Will try to find it but sure it was on the EFL site report on the last meeting |

So does this mean that the scab campaign can finally end and no fan will be vilified for going to games and or wembley should they make it?
Did the boycott work? Hard to say. But there sounds like a 25% vote against already in place for B teams to be included and that would have been met quite easily.
Possibly a big storm in a teacup.

Perhaps someone who is more techky savvy than me could post the article from their CEO.
It was on the news section of my mobile.

If the clubs were 100% confident it wouldn’t happen and were happy to get behind the competition, then surely there would have been a concerted effort by clubs to transfer this message to the supporters? That would then mean more revenue for the clubs. Although our club and others have paid lip service to supporting the competition, they haven’t gone out of their way to quash supporters fears. That suggests to me that the clubs aren’t happy with the competition and are even in some ways tacitly supporting a boycott.

This is the first I have heard about this and begs the question, what was all the fuss about. As the bribes go up, so too may the resolve of clubs to vote against wane. The boycott reminds clubs that most fans are against B-teams. I'd be interested to hear why else the rabidly pro-Checkatrade grouping think the EFL set such a high threshold, sudden concern for the lower leagues? Personally I'm quite happy with this concession but I continue to not go because I want the EFL Trophy reverted back to how it was ( Iain Macintosh articulated my sentiments perfectly) and I genuinely have no interest in winning the thing as it is now. I'd rather see us lift the Glos FA Senior Challenge Cup. |

If we attended as usual then the clubs may get the impression we are actually for it. |

Does this really make much difference?
It must be emasculating in the extreme for the likes of Port Vale to be playing their local rivals under 21 side, regardless of whether it threatens the future composition of the league pyramid or not. Especially when the senior team is limited in the changes it can make whilst the under 21 side can pick as many foreigners as it wants thereby undermining the point of the competition in the first place.
The whole 'competition' has zero credibility or purpose and is a complete farce. If the 'sweetener' was only 50k per club then the clubs have to take a long hard look at themselves. If the likes of Man City really see value in this format then they can collectively stump up way more than that. Talk about selling your soul for a fiver, strewth....

Well I won't be going until this insult of being made to play against other Full Members' under 23 teams as equals, ends. |
