Agree with Dav007, it's a pointless competition which stretches the footballing resources of a club as small as ours. Unless it's given decent exposure , hyped up a bit and took more seriously then I see no point. Players and most fans in England really don't have much enthusiasm towards this cup. This used to be the same with the league cup but the fact it's exposure on tv is now massive and big clubs are in the pot there is more insentive for players and fans alike! 2 cups for a first team squad is enough with including the football league for a club like us.

Everyone has an opinion but I see it pointless and an unnecessary expense for a lot of fans.
