How to save the League Cup. 23:43 - Aug 13 with 5349 views

Is it the most tedious competition in the calendar? Why not merge it with the cup competitions of other UK nations?

Aberdeen or Larne sounds fun on a Tuesday night. Would freshen it up a bit and distribute some finances across the other UK leagues teams.

Maybe even get the ROI involved.

How to save the League Cup. on 07:53 - Aug 16 by daveB

although clubs take a lot of the blame the attitude that cups don't matter comes from fans and that's had the biggest impact as stadiums are always empty for them in early rounds and full for the league so clubs know we don't care and put out reserve teams in the cups

Every year on here you get threads worrying about injury if the game is in the cup and wanting to rest players for the more important stuff and its the same at all clubs

You're putting the cart before the horse! Fans used to pack out grounds for League Cup games when they were treated properly (i.e. competitively) right the way up the football pyramid. Then the clubs started f*cking around and taking it less and less seriously, with the connivance of football's overlords, and fans have become more and more apathetic over the years.

Poll:

What should the club do now (assuming no imminent change of owners)?
