    Well played Eastleigh. Are there other clubs dropping out? Their statement suggests there are.

    Well played Eastleigh ! I've been along to Stoneham Lane many times when there was only one "Grandstand" (holding, maybe, 200 fans) and no other terracing. They've clawed their way up the ladder and now their ground looks ready for League 2 football.

    Clawed is doing a bit of heavy lifting there… :) 12 million pounds of Stuart Donald’s money has helped!

    I will never attend any match involving a Greed League u21 or B team. Because that's what they really want, to get B teams into the EFL.

    Hartlepool Fylde York & Yeovil have also declined/ told the PL to do one. £million to be shared between NL & NL north & south teams. How can they call this the NL cup when half of the teams taking part are PL U21s ?

    Just see how much NL north and south clubs get of it.

    The last time I checked NL were in 180k of prem money and NL N/S got 18k… terrible!

    the NL are as bent as the premier league.
