    I hope you will join me in boycotting any matches against academy sides in this competition. http://www.againstleague3.co.uk/bteamboycott-signup/

    And good luck against us. I went to Portsmouth v Bristol Rovers back in 2013 I think it was, when it finished something like 3-2... I was impressed by the amount of fans you brought.

    Im boycotting all matches in this competition, not just against academy sides. I think you will find most of fans around the country are doing the same from what I can gather from twitter <ok>

    No disrespect to you old timer but no point boycotting games if you still will go to the final anyway, if you know what I mean.

    Boycotting the final is more important than any other game in my mind. An empty Wembley will be just what is needed.

    If they want the premier league under 23s to play in this competition may be part of the deal should be that their players for loan are offered to the clubs in league 1 & 2, after all if we are not good enough for them to be loaned to us then we can't be good enough to play against for them to gain experience

    If we get to Wembley, which is unlikely, I shall certainly boycott the match if we're playing an academy.

    Reading the Telegraph Sports section today Shaun Harvey football league Chief Executive said the new format was a 1 year trial, Peterborough chairman said if he thought that the premier league clubs were going to boycott it they wouldn't have voted for it, so if we treat it with the contempt it deserves they might well go back to the old format

    As a Portsmouth fan, I'd rather they didn't attend full stop. As the gate receipts are put in a pot and split 48 ways, the financial impact on Portsmouth by not going will be limited. Indeed, if the tickets cost £20 (which they won't), in theory only 41.7p ish will go to the club.
