nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Having done a little research this trophy should be renamed. THE SCHNATTER CUP ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busmansholiday Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 That's two cups we'll be out of in three days as the FA cup round 1 (yes we're in at the start now) is November 6th. Concentrating on the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 If it was free for season ticket holders and they gave us all a free pizza then I'd go. Saves me cooking tea and gets me out of the house. Anything short of that and I don't think I'll bother ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd play it at the training ground. We will lose money on every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group stage is picked, rather than drawn out of a hat, the U-23 teams will be garbage and many clubs struggle to get more than a 1,000 through the door for the group games. My lot won it twice when it was a straight knockout and a least with that there was some jeopardy attached and really good crowds for the Area finals (Huddersfield in particular, I seem to remember, when we won with a golden goal). Who is "My lot" as a matter of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlicer Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 People mock this trophy, but I’d quite like us to go all the way in it. Decent day out at Wembley with thousands of Wednesday fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the EPL put about a million into the prize pot which is why they are welcomed, plus they play all their matches away meaning that every league side gets two home games in the group stage. Is it better or worse, depends whether you want to take it seriously and try to get to Wembley, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowl Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Now my only concerns are; is the trophy pizza shaped if not can you get pizza in a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can play a limited number of overage players though like when we have first teamers returning from injury / out of favour in our U23 games.

TheGreatNebber Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Conflicted on this as I'm opposed to 'B' teams in the football pyramid like they have in other countries and having U21 teams compete in this tournament seems like a step to try and normalise this practice. However after having to miss so many home games in the last 18 months I'm desperate to get back to Hillsborough and even the embarrassment of a game against an U21 team seems appealing. Perhaps it will be less so by the time I've seen a few home league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
