Thanks Peter…

Difference is, opposition fans take the piss out of us, not give us theirs!

Especially the Cods. Lots of ours went on their forum when they went down and gave them both barrels and more. We are now getting what was expected in return and although there are a few that want us to drop further and survive, the majority want us cast into oblivion never to return.
What goes around comes around ! UTI

Another Mickey Mouse competition!

Yep, Scunny are to big a club to be bothered with it.

Trying to establish & retain a foothold in the NL is more important.

Could have 2teams trying to throw the tie then, interesting!

We don’t need to try throwing it

[Iron-awe]

Well the club is currently being thrown to the dogs so why not the game too?

How long is it since we were last involved in a third round tie?
😂

FA Cup 2015/16 Chelsea
League Cup 2010/11 Man Utd

Wrexham’s home league form:

Wrexham P10 – W10 – GF37 – GA9 – GD+28

Score could be anything.

6-1

At least we don’t have to play in the Papa Johns Trophy anymore. 700 at Grimsby and 1445 at Lincoln last night, barely worth the costs of putting the game on but the EFL desperately want to keep their pointless sham cup going.

A worthless competition.
Scrap it.

[Northumbiron]

Not that it concerns us anymore but I’ve always said it should be scrapped and the League Cup should be for EFL clubs only (ie no PL). The PL managers are always moaning about too many fixtures anyway.

The Premier League are basically subsidising it for their B teams.

Again, the EFL can’t afford this. The TV contract for the EFL matches also includes the League Cup and without those games, there’s no way Sky are paying anything like the current sum. I seem to remember that during the Covid shutdown, Sky tried to renegotiate the value of the contract and it was clear they valued the League Cup much higher than any amount of Football League matches.

And there we have it!
