Reserves to arrange own fixtures

[Compo's Hat]

Shame really as i liked popping down to watch the stiffs three or four times a season, something which i doubt i'll be able to do now.

Guess we'll have to hope for a home draw in the youth cup to have any chance of seeing the potential stars of tomorrow next season

Also enjoyed the occasional reserve game, cant believe that there is no decent level for them to play at, and in a league of some type .

I'm surprised that the Football League doesn't follow the PL example and have a reserve league based on the division (esp for the CCC).

Split the 24 teams in to 3 groups of 8.
Play home and away

Winners of each group plus best runner up go through to semi finals/final to crown a champion.

It maybe because they have more respect for the existing reserve leagues than the Premier League ever did.

It might also be the geographical groupings being a bit of a headache and the costs involved being a bit off putting for some clubs?
