Reckon its got to be at least on the horizon?
So when it next takes place, Can our Oxvox representatives ask WHY OUFC voted in favour of allowing PL 'B teams' to compete in a FL cup competition instead of voting AGAINST, and WHO it was who voted in favour apparently on behalf of OUFC?
Allowing PL parasites a foot in the door of ANY FL competition is the thin end jof the wedge of the Football league as we know it continuing to exist. Lets not forget, the PL chose to break away from the football league, bribed by Murdochs sky money,! By voting to allow PL development squads, reserve teams or whatever they are called this week to compete in Football League competitions (outside of cup competitions such as jthe league cup...which a number of PL treat contemptuously if their team selections are any indication in early rounds) Oxford United FC and many other similar FL clubs have potententially, IMO, signed their own death warrant, eventually being replaced by PL reserve teams
Whoever voted to support allowing PL b teams to enter FL cup competitions , as far as I'm concerned, most definitely DON'T have the best interests of OUFC in mind!

No club has yet voted to include B teams in the JPT. Clubs have agreed to discuss it, which is when I'd expect many to reject it.
I agree we need OxVox to tell the club this is a definite no no.

The FL attempted to clarify this topic this week. No vote has been taken by any clubs about allowing 'B Teams' into the JPT. The FL asked it's 72 clubs if they would vote to allow them to 'look into and explore' the topic.
We had a January OUFC meeting. The next one will be April/May. Of course, we can raise our concerns or questions almost immediately.

It maybe that we can at least have a general chat about this after the formal business of the AGM? Can we do that Matt/Mark? as per the comment above, asking the question of the Club is no problem and we'll do it! It certainly looks to be something we need to find out more about!
Cheers

Absolutely we can Jem. I did speak on jack fm saying my own personal opinion was it was a bad idea and we'd talk to memebr and the club about it. We've emailed the club for their view and are awaiting a reply.

I've emailed Yellows Forum Admin to see if they can pop the other 'B Teams' thread that's currently in the Management section into here. It should make the story a bit easier for everyone to follow as (if) things develop!
Regards
Jem
