    The JPT is now officially dead. Like the dead parrot, alas it is no more

    One of the arguments used by Exeter is because it would give their youth players an opportunity to play against Premier League youth players which would be better for their development...

    But if that's the case, just arrange some bloody friendlies against a few Premier League academies then, rather than damaging the integrity of the whole competition and stuffing the fans just for your own selfishness.

    Also there's a boycott you can sign up to? I didn't know about this *signs up*

    They did but many was not at their wishes, some more or less were forced into the vote for various reasons, some clubs caved in at the last minute, and other clubs were only coaxed into the vote by a promise that it would only be for a trial period.

    The clubs that voted in have been inundated with a barrage of anger from their supporters who are threatening to follow the boycott in any B Team games versus their club.

    My personal view is if you want B Teams, the Premier League & Championship could create its own separate trophy and avoid infesting the lower leagues with their greed of accumulating young talent with their vast wealth.

    Firstly - please understand - I am with you on this one - but we have to accept 'democracy' - if 51% of the people want it - then they shall have it.

    I could further my mischief making by asking you what you would say to those who voted to remain in the EU -- " Go and live in France ?" ( the British economy is likely to take a major bashing - without the tax paid by those who you might suggest to 'migrate.' ) --- oh bother - I didn't really want to get involved in Brexit.
