What a waste of time this competition is.

Never felt so underwhelmed by a visit to Giggle for a "competitive" match.

even a £5 in ( £2.50 concessions ) the fixture leaves me cold.

Any hardy souls making the short trip through Heywood on Tuesday night?.

Got to agree with you about the status of the competition. It makes no sense that so many clubs allegedly voted to keep it going.

Can see the crowd struggling to reach four figures, to be honest, and with the nights drawing in and weather slowly turning, most will opt for an evening at home in the warmth, I imagine, rather than having to drag out the winter woolies for the trip to Gigg Lane.

When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

There might be merit in the competition if it allowed managers to select whatever team they saw fit, giving players game time who've not been starting

But then again, i guess the sponsors might see that as devaluing it. The sponsors name might give some players food for thought, though...

A game as well that neither manager wants.

We've an important league game at home to Gillingham and bury travel to promotion hopefuls Charlton.

Focus for both clubs will be on the league position given the respective poor starts and not picking up any unwanted disciplinary or injury issues.

Without regular reserve/bounce games this is our best chance to give the youngsters game time as well as getting more minutes under the belt of our returning players.
As shitty as the competition maybe,a Wembley trip wouldn't do us any harm.

Doubt it. Those who are going to a game like that won't be too fussed if it's £10 or £5.

Luckily the club shop sells great big puffer jackets.

FAO R11BFC... (we know you're reading)

We were told this game was a fiver over a month ago. The tickets have been on sale here since 17th August.

Hilly mentioned in his post match interview it was an important game for the club plus isn't it a possible source of decent income, too - 20 k just for being in and 10k per win in the group stage, not uncomparable with a run to third round of the FA Cup (and surely much more winnable!).
And, of course, another chance to turn over the buckets!
Could help us turn the season round.

Surely, they should just ask us what's going on at their club.

If he's involved.

Hill might feel keeping him back for next weekend is a better decision.

I've said this before and I'll say it again; if they put the winners of the competition directly into the next season's third round of the FA Cup, it would make it worth winning. A simple thing like that, that wouldn't cost anything, would make the competition interesting.
If Mr Checkatrade is reading: how about it?

The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.

We've got to beat bury first and then there's Stoke up next, are Bojan and Shaquiri under 21?

I think the only thing potentially drawing me to tonights game is the history being made aspect of Adshead. The record is unlikely to be broken for some time. Be good to say "I was there"

Do they have to be birth parents or can they be adoptive? They had me adopted when they both reached 85 and decided I was too much to handle.

"what a waste of time this competition is"

I dont know about that any chance to humiliate bury at gigg is not a waste of time.

This is not the time for bickering.
