Firstly, I am aware this has been mentioned on another thread but felt it was worthy of highlighting separately. There have been changes to what was called the JPT and now entered in are Premier League B Teams. Not only that, but these are no longer under 21's, but under 23's and also the option to play 3 over 23's. In my opinion, the Football League are using this as a stepping stone for allowing B Teams into the football league (a plan they failed to implement recently). With regards to the JPT, it feels like Stoke B Team v Sunderland B Team could be the fans getting to see their team at Wembley which just doesn't sit well with me at all. For that reason, I will be boycotting all JPT (or whatever it's called now) matches. There is an online petition by Against League 3 that can be found on the link below for those interested. They are also planning on lobbying FL teams to withdraw from the tournament. Boycott
There seems to be a few options fans are taking. 1. Boycott all games in this competition. 2. Boycott games in this competition that feature PL B Teams. 3. Attend regardless. Just wondered what other people's thoughts were on this and which of the 3 options they feel they will take. I am a 1.

Option 1 for sure. Hopefully the thick sh!ts will notice the massive drop in crowds and ditch the idea.

Personally I hope to see sub 100 attendances for these games across every club. It would send a clear message that it's not all about money for most fans.

Another option: buy a ticket but don't attend. That way the protest is registered but the club doesn't lose out on revenue.

Sadly the reason clubs voted in favour of this was the additional revenue they think they'll get. The only way to show them that football is not about money for fans is by taking that revenue stream away until they change their ways.

Option 2. They need to know that it is that 1 game were not happy with not the competition.

Option 1.
By the sound of it the majority of supporters from many clubs will be doing that too.

I'd go for option 2 but would go along with option 1 if that's what most fans are doing.
Option 3 is not an option.

Go with whatever works for you. I'll be disappointed to miss games as due to child commitments will miss more league matches than in previous seasons and I can make mid week games. But this is the straw that has broken the camels back for me, hence Option 1.

Option 3, it would be unfair on the senior pros if nobody turned up. Also anything to change the state of the national team, having B teams is worth a trial

If they gave a sh** about the national team they'd have a minimum 4 English per stating 11 rule in the prem.
