This new league is all well and good but the games should never be on the same day as a first team game.
its good for the clubs though, we are playing Spurs at U18, reserve and 1st team 2moro, they can all come on one plane instead of making 3 long trips over the season.
I think the reserve leagues should contain the same teams as the first team and play the same day as the main game in the same stadium as pre-main match entertainment... Gets the players used to playing in bigger venues in front of bigger crowds... Fans get more for their money and owners get more from revenue from their facilities via food & drinks etc and helps the atmosphere build up better getting people in the ground earlier... Gets the officials sharpened up... Only downside I could think of is W&T to the pitch...
