It just reminded me that City were a lower league team. So uninterested was I that I never bothered with the day out at Wembley last time. I wasn't going to bother going to Wembley last time, been there done that before and the Milstad, besides i don't really like the new Wembley. I only went after the offer of a ticket and a lift, to be honest i was bored even after winning 2 nill! I don't want this club ever being involved with this mickey mouse cup again.

Just out of interest there was an article in our local paper recently saying that we (Stoke) kept the original Auto Windscreens Shield after our final in 2000. This was due to the sponsors changing for the following year's tournament. As Jim Bowen would have said, " Look at what you could've won!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reserve teams of Southern based league teams used to play in The Football Combination and it had two divisions. In 1965 City's reserves won the 2nd Division. and received a trophy. That Summer, several clubs dropped out and the 2nd Division was scrapped. City asked the league what happens to the trophy and we're told to keep it. Over 50 years later, is it still in our trophy cabinet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted January 26, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just saw the semi final draw on Sky Lincoln Vs Chelsea U21's Shrewsbury Vs Yeovil / Fleetwood Hadn't realised that they had abolished the North / South split, that was kind of what kept it interesting The tournament was kind of saved last year with Coventry taking 30k+ to Wembley, but it looks doomed for a tin pot attendance this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gifford Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I don't mind the format when we last won it. Yes it's extra games but it's a good chance to get to Wembley. Hoping Lincoln see off Chelsea U21, then two proper teams can have a nice day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Needlessly killed by the FA and premier league. What was wrong with having a cup competition contested by lower league clubs. What next, scrap the vase and the trophy??? ******* hate premier league club owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Genuinely unbelievable that this is still going. Bin any chance of a League 1/League 2 side getting to see a cup run culminating in a Wembley final. Whoevers in charge of marketing at Johnston's Paint played a blinder in withdrawing sponsorship.

Think its all Prem clubs with tier 1 academies get the original invite, then if some turn down the gets offered to championship clubs with tier 1 academies.

Nothing to do with the Premier League. The Football League voted on the new format, then voted to keep it as well. By all means hate the PL, but...
