boundaryblue80 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 2 hours ago, Latics and England said: Very hard to believe that those groups have been randomly drawn. You are right, other than us, they are completely regionalised. Interesting that all the U21 teams now play all their games away. I thought that one of the things they sold as benefitting us poor lower league fans was that we would get to visit a big (empty) ground every 3 years. It's almost like this isn't a proper competition at all!! 59 minutes ago, opinions4u said: Is the plan to apply a rigged draw every season? It'll be shitter than Scottish football. It's not random. Which leads you to think we'd get these teams every season in the Check-A-Scab competition now bar the U23 academy team. They've tried to polish a turd but very few want the turd and even less will soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They've relaxed the rules regarding team selection haven't they? So teams might be inclined to give even less of a shit. Bury travelling to Rochdale on a Tuesday night makes more sense than Bury travelling to Rotherham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 It's a shite competition, that few supporters want anything to do with it. Scrap the effing thing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
