You seen they've rejigged the members sales next year with an extra sale for locals? (Anyone with an L postcode.).

Still limited but it at least gives you a chance to maybe start building that card up matey.
 
I believe the SKY TV changes for the first 3 months are out today or tomorrow which will be useful.
 
So we're one of 16 category one ranked PL academy set-up's (Newcastle have replaced Hull) that have been invited to play in the revamped/ rebranded Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Now to be called the English Football League Trophy:

EFL Trophy: Format confirmed for 2016/17

In theory it's a good idea to give younger players competitive football to aid their development, being as the U-18/21 structure is so pitiful in England with so few games. But it's been badly thought out and planned for me and i don't see much benefit in entering. All the games are scheduled over International breaks, so you're losing your most promising players right there in youth Internationals/ anyone around the first team squad. It's OK having 6 of the XI having to be U'21 players. But when you can't pick anyone already registered the first team squad of 25 for the PL that negates older squad players who no longer get any substantial reserve games. So on the face of it you could well be left with U'18 players going up against hardened pro's 10 years older.

Good idea. Poor planning.

But at least it's an acknowledgement that the whole U-21 (reserve) structure is terrible in England and something seriously needs doing. Probably a pre-curser to PL clubs having B teams in the lower leagues in the future to give that competitive edge.

And that is why I'm going to hate Friday nights! Heard last night on the TV changes, with Chelsea away being a frigging Friday. Now they confirm it.

Thanks a bunch SKY. Hearing Leicester home will be a 5;30 PM the Sat'day whenever BT get around to it too.

It's a dark dark day for Premier League football. I'm sorry to the other leagues in Europe who dot his but Friday nights just aren't us. Will take some adjusting to.

Is rite mate. At least make them local affairs. That's a half day off at least if you want to go down. Then an over night if you're not driving/ on a coach as there's no trains back.

Marginally better than it being a Monday but that's saying little. But since when has the paying fan mattered?

*Edit* And they've done Bournemouth again. Up at Utd on a Friday night second game the season just like they had them coming to ours on the second Monday last year. Complete **** take.

Delighted. No doubt a vital part to anything we do going forward

Cynical side - I just hope this isn't a deal we look back on in October as 'this is better than any signing' after we struggled in the transfer market. haha
