In light of the talk about a "League 3" filled with Premier League B sides, the Football League has proposed a trial where for the next two seasons 16 B teams from the Premier League will enter the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, expanded to incorporate a group stage to fit such teams in with the 48 members of League 1 and 2. This would almost certainly include us, as a Category 1 academy and apparently a key supporter of the B-Team plan.
So, where will the young Spurs be travelling if this goes ahead? All home matches would be played at White Hart Lane with at least 1 guaranteed in the group stage, so will we be seeing 1882 cheer on Kane and whoever pisses off Poch against the might of Chesterfield? Or a Tuesday night away day to sunny Carlisle? And perhaps, at the end of it all, Wembley - where we can end our 7-year trophy drought if we can overcome the might of Tranmere Rovers. Being banished to the reserves never looked so appealing.
