All Premiership Clubs have them, but I am hearing DJ would continue his policy.

You would think that is the case Annis but this season in the PL Reserve Divsion South Birmingham, Stoke, Fulham and believe it or not Tottenham do not compete in the reserve division. All other PL teams do have reserve teams though including Blackpool.
I believe in Tottenham case HR decided not to enter the reserve division because of the additional CL games the club was involved with. He has decided to rotate his squad as nuch as possible to keep players match fit.

DJ needs to change this by next season otherwise we are going to be a laughing stock.
i for one love to see a youngester come on during a game, such as wildig last season. now that gets the crowd jumping. dont worry about switching stands...or moving blocks.....PLAY THE YOUNGESTERS!!!!

But as it's you and I like you here is a link to the Arsenal reserve team league table you will see all the clubs I mentioned are missing from the League;

It may go some way to explain why AW wanted to send Aaron Ramsey and Jay Emmanuel Thomas out on loan as Arsenal simply do not have enough reserve team football.

I have to disagree about not being able to run a club without a reserve team just look at Stoke City as an example of that;
http://www.stokecityfc.com/page/Appeara ... 10,00.html
Stoke have a squad of 25 players registered with the PL but only 13 of those players have started more than 10 PL matches, only a further 5 players have more than 7 sub appearances in the PL so Pulis has a squad of effectively 18 players doing rather well in the PL.
For most people Stoke City are now considered an established PL team and yet every season Tony Pulis has run without a reserve team, so I would put them up as a good example of a club who are run properly, successfully even without an organised reserve team.
Perhaps some good question would be - How can Tony Pulis compete week in week out with basically 18 players in the PL? and more importantly for me - How does he keep the fringe players of his squad ready to step into the first team without regular reserve team football?
You never here Tony Pulis talking about needing 5 new players during a transfer window do you

I usually agree with all your posts, but regarding a Reserve team, I Def cant, I really believe we should have one and 99%% of Succesful Clubs do have one.
