Northern Canary 8 Posted August 21, 2017 League cup been devalued so much over the years by teams playing under strength teams thus leading to falling attendances. Having the draw in China possibly makes commercial sense to the bods in the EFL but shows that the supporters are the way down in their list of priorities. Watching for your teams number to come out in the draw, followed by the oohs or ahhrs as to who you have drawn, has always been great but sadly money talks in football. Next will be games played midweek at lunchtime to cater for the cup''s sponsors played in front of a handful of fans? Suppose somebody sat behind their desk at EFL head office will thèn think their work is done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
