EFL Trophy Final

[NewBlue]

Lot of clubs want guaranteed games, non starter.

Really? I thought it was loss-making for a lot of teams.

Getting teams from Wales / NI / Scotland / England would be more interesting than Blackburn 'B".

 

First rounds are regional based - even have Lancashire cups ( Yorkshire / east Midlands / home counties etc)

 

Later rounds having the likes Hibs, Linfield, Hearts, Newport, Rhyl, Coleraine have to be more interesting than Wigan 'B'

But how would they fit Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch on the trophy if they won it?

Bit like Borussia Monchengladbach after that daft pub sign. "That Welsh Team"

It translates as 'sheepshaggers' which fits easily

As it's just a name made up by the local tourist board to get publicity call them by whatever the place was called before then.

I suggest for publicity Latics change their name to;

Oldhamathleticonceinthepremiershipwhen managedbyjoeroylefc.

 

Any other Latics long name suggestions?

[Scapegoat]

Have always treated this competition with disdain, but after 20 years in the lower leagues a realistic chance of a day out and to see my team actually "win" something - I am for this competition.

 

Format could be improved for sure, but I'd take a win in this competition.

Easy - Just get the guy (Noel ?) who spelt Jimmy Frizzell wrong on the brick in the wall to do the job
