Football started in 1992

  My take on Greg Dykes' 'Plan' for a fifth tier 'B' team league.

Mr Dyke has shown in an instant he knows nothing of non-league football. or its' followers.  I will use myself as an example. I stopped attending professional matches 3 seasons back. Anyone who has followed this blog will know the reasons but for those new to this site,they are thus ; the amount of money in the PL,the play-acting,cynicism,diving and cheating by the over-paid prima-donnas, the total ignorance of anything existing outside the PL by the media, ie TV,radio,newspapers,on-line.I could go on but I think they convey my general feeling about the PL. It's everything non-league is not.Non-League is proper football where (mostly)normal working blokes play because they want to and usually for no financial gain. We are all aware there is money circulating in some NL circles but really it,s pocket money compared to the PL. So for Mr Dyke and his cohorts to come up with such a derisory plan for 'boosting Englands' chances of winning future World Cups' while,at the same time, ruining the NL game, beggars belief.

We hear full support for the plan from Brendan Rogers and Roberto Martinez. From whence do they hail ? The Premier League.This laughable plan has been attacked by the very people who would be adversly affected were it to be given life.It has been roundly criticised by the likes of Stan Collymore(like him or loathe him,he knows his football).The best comment I have seen is the one from an Accrington Stanley supporter who tweeted 'at last,our dream realised,we could be playing Stoke City reserves'.

When will these people learn to keep their noses out of stuff they know nothing about ?

RANT OVER !!!!!

PS There will probably be more posts in this vein as I get more and more worled up about it.
