Yes, I believe most Premiership and some Championship sides do this as well. Reading did this last season. They played a somewhat second string side, but it was a game of football for £5. I wasn’t complaining.

I’m not sure about you, but I go and watch my team whoever the opposition is. Plus if they do filed a seconds string side, it’s still Arsenal football club. The likes of Aliadiere, and Theo Walcott have to start somewhere. Beckham, Neville, Scholes, and Butt can all approve that sentence.

The reserve league is a glorified version of youth team league.
