Premier League 'B' Teams to join Pyramid?

[harry]

For those of you who are against the B Teams idea there is a petition at Change.org

https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/football-association-say-no-to-b-teams

And they have set up a website

Apologies if this has already been posted and I have missed it

Obviously B teams into the pyramid is ridiculous but I do wonder whether some form of cup competition with first teams could work. The JPT is not highly regarded by most of the clubs in it so maybe replace it with some sort of cup involving B teams and L1/L2 teams. Maybe even a group stage so B teams get a few proper competitive games? I know lower league fans would hate watching Stoke B or West Ham B week in, week out but the odd midweek cup game could be exciting could it not?
That seems to be a reasonable compromise to me.

That was what I said on this very thread on May 14th. Now look at what the football league are considering: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... rophy.html

Bloody copycats. Don't have an original idea between them.

Why is the football league's summer meeting in Faro?

It's sunny and the beer's cheap?

I don't know why but they've been going there at least a decade. It probably costs little more than them all having to find hotel rooms and a conference facility in an English city.

Where would you host it, SFers?

Burton
Preston
Reading
Manchester
Birmingham

There's five places for starters

The Pennine Suite, perhaps.
