I honestly can't think of a competition I've been less enthused about. |  | | |

Think this will a good completion to give fringe and youngsters experience and games, like we used it in the papa John trophy and other incarnations | | | |

So everyone plays four teams and the top two go through? Much like the stupid nature of the Champions League, having a competition where you have spend ages working out fixtures and permutations is another nail in the football coffin.
Why couldn’t they have had eight groups of four then a last sixteen round? |  |

I would put out many of the youth team and squad not getting game time, rather then the first team for this pointless competition. | | | |

I know they're somewhat isolated geographically but it seems Forest Green have been stiffed with a bit of travelling. Or do teams have to travel to their place? I honestly can't be arsed to read the competition rules.
Also, where are York City and Solihull, have the lucky gits managed to swerve it? | | | |

Are these the under 21 teams of Premiership clubs as in the EFL Trophy? | | | |

Possibly. As I say, I haven't delved to deeply into the competition's minutiae.
Maybe as a reward for beating Dale, they didn't have to take part in this abomination. | | | |

As the home club keep all the receipts, they can make their own decisions on admission prices and Dale will have to put some real imagination into this if they want people to turn up.
Season ticket holders for a fiver at most, general admission £6 (if that’s allowed to charge more).
In fact, I think even that’s too much. | |

According to the Oldham fans site, a number of teams opted out of the competition including York, Southend, Solihull and Hartlepool according to their site. Oldhams fans think it is a distraction to their promotion hopes. | | | |

The NL teams are playing the PL2 teams at home, so each NL team has four games, all at home, and each PL2 team has four games, all away.
We aren’t playing the other NL teams.
I think! [Post edited 19 Sep 19:09]

I don’t see the attraction in this competition?
It won’t be lucrative and BJ wasn’t too long ago talking about fixture overcrowding. | | | |
