Hang on a minute I thought we all went mental at the prospect of having to play premier league reserve teams? That's exactly what a plum 2nd round tie would be. More chance of them taking it seriously away from home than at their own Stadium.

They'd be better off just doing away with this p1ss poor excuse for a competition. That'd be a way of improving it.

It will never happen but I'd love to see this replaced with a British Cup.. or British Isles cup... Have all the teams from Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and Ireland in it as well.... it would make for some superb away trips...

Could they not make it a bit interesting and have it that all League 2 sides get a home tie and all Championship sides play away or something, same for when Premier League sides enter it - they must play away. The money in competitions will be if you get a big club away from home, in the fa cup you split the gate 50/50. i'd think it was the same in this.

Thinking more about interest to be honest, this Cup is dying a slow death in my opinion.
Same for that League Trophy, scrap the 2 legged semi and have the northern final at Old Trafford and southern final at Stamford Bridge or somet.

Another club smaller than us but playing way above us. Hate to think of them as favourites coming to BP. Another example of how much we have fallen.
