Yes I know I could see that. But it’s not the top 16 teams. It’s not been done particularly geographically so I can’t work out how the 16 teams have been chosen York City, Barnet, Eastleigh, Solihull Moors, Hartlepool United, Yeovil Town, Southend United & AFC Fylde have opted not to participate in the competition. What luck that they managed to get exactly 16 teams to opt in! Are you sure that’s right? Anyone know where the final will be played? |

Those who have opted out are probably worried participation could hinder their league chances. We on the other hand have the confidence to cope and still win the league and fa trophy. Do the rules of the new comp prevent us from playing our own talented youngsters .

Is there a knockout competition that includes just the 72 National League clubs?

Maybe our director who sits on the national league board could explain the virtues of the comp, perhaps in the next newsletter.i am sure Mr Morrison will be asked how he intends to manage the comp. As supporters I think we should get on board and attend the games if we can

I was hoping we'd take the FA Trophy seriously but taking part in this I can't see that happening.

As supporters I think we should get on board and attend the games if we can I agree with the Eastleigh statement and think that supporters should boycott going to these cup games. It is an unnecessary competition. The fact that 6 teams in the National League havent entered shows how meaningles it is. |

I really am surprised that what I've seen and read about Morrison that he's endorsed it. |

Reference the last post I notice Southend have set out their reasons for not participating , one was they are concerned about wear of their pitch. Mind you last week it was already showing signs of wear. Last season our pitch suffered after two women's fixtures were played close together in very wet conditions, could our pitch now suffer the same in early November or December with first team home cup matches, and or fa trophy replays plus CP ladies and U21 fixtures around the given dates, in addition to other scheduled matches. With a director on the NL board our participation was a political necessity for the organisation. It indeed would be nice for our board member to explain why participation is a good thing especially at the particular time of the season. Doubt it will happen though things like this are not for the ordinary fan to know about. Unless there is open dialogue the only way supporters can show concern/dissatisfaction is by not attending, which might be dispiriting to the younger players we could field.
Should the director not wish to comment perhaps our C.E.O could even maybe a private letter to the shareholders , whom after all are co-owners.
