A fifth division will be formed "league three" made up from U23 teams and the top nationwide league clubs. The NL clubs who mostly have smaller crowds will welcome joining the league structure proper and playing big name teams albeit their youth mostly. Many league two clubs will welcome the idea as relegation means they stay in the league structure plus play some bigger name teams.
The money paid will be welcomed by clubs in the EFL as many are struggling.
Eventually league one will end up with the U23's of Chelsea,man utd,man city , Liverpool ,arsenal ,spurs fighting it out for top two and the playoffs.The same desire from owners to be the best prem club will see them wanting their second teams to attain the highest spot available. This will mean the championship becomes a closed shop with no relegation ,something all those clubs would want especially those who may have gone into free fall after premierleague relegation. Premier league clubs will enjoy the knowledge the U23 teams will prevent them ever falling below championship level plus their young players get good run outs.
So you could get a playoff final between say arsenal u23 and Plymouth with say Fulham set to be relegated if Plymouth win but stay up if arsenal u23 win . Thousands of Fulham fans may go to Wembley to support arsenal !
Teams like Rovers ,Portsmouth ,Plymouth etc will lose out unless an owner pumps in vast amounts of money.

Sadly the reality is that some appear unable to process the link between attending games in this competition and the continued roll out of B/U21 teams. Some things are bigger than simply 'supporting the team' and this is certainly one of them. The threat of B/U23 teams joining the league pyramid is very real and heightened by the reliance on Premier League finances which will come about following this decision. Nothing is bigger than supporting my team - imo And supporting a competition which threatens the identify and long term future of your club doesn't bother you? If an Oyston/Blackpool situation happened here, would you passively still attend games?

Just because a few lower league U23 teams fail in the competition, that becomes the end of the world for our club... I'm pretty dam sure any top Premier league team will not enter like last year and keep playing in their very own U23 Competitions

You're being to optimistic in structures where reserve or second teams participate they are usually restricted to a division below the first team. The happy chappy brigade could actually looking forward to Manure reserves playing Chelski reserves in the Championship play off final with neither team able to actually be promoted. And some people on here believe on making that outcome more likely, I do have to despair at some thoughtless individuals on here.

I doubt it's just to keep a few Championship side happy, there must be a bigger picture it's selfish fans like you attending these games who could eventually see the death of the club.

A desperately sad day for lower league football in this country. The EFL is at the mercy of the financially bloated Premier League who are looking to rip the soul out of another competition having finished the job with their own. They're looking for a playground to showcase and develop their stockpiled talent and many clubs have seemingly sold out to provide it. Disgraceful. The boycott action needs to be stepped up and a clear message sent out that supporters won't accept this. Hear hear! I have no words, spitting feathers at this utter BS.

The clubs voted to accept it and take their 30 pieces of silver. I'm glad we voted against it but the other league 1 and league 2 clubs wanted it and the money. The only way to stop it is to vote against it. Harvey will continue to do this until he is voted against. We can protest and boycott as much as we want but Harvey will ignore us and pretend everything is great because the attendances overall (the final helped with Coventry there) being up. Only way to stop it is to vote against it but not sure that will happen, 66% for is a pretty large majority. And in the end it all comes down to money, surprise, surprise! UTG!

I think fan action can work if it changes the minds of club chairpeople as they are the people who vote on these changes. Unfortunately as you've said money speaks louder than the fans in most cases.

Maybe we should only boycott the Clubs who supported this proposal?
