Atlantic Canary 12 Posted April 15, 2019 Assuming we go up we will have our under23s in the above tournament that means we will play Ipswich? On an evening kick off. is that correct ie it’s regionalised? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On an evening kick off. is that correct ie it’s regionalised? Definitely regionalised north/south. When we were in L1 we were in the southern section, but I guess that could change depending on the geographical location of lower-division clubs. Academy sides definitely have to be Cat 1 to qualify, I think they are invited... IIRC Arsenal refused to participate in it, so I guess it's not mandatory.

splendidrush 700 Posted April 15, 2019 This would be a new low for the Tahn, to be involved in a competitive cup competition with our U23s, regardless of the result. Not sure agent Lambert would be able to cope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can see the front cover of the 1st round programme now...a montage of Osborne, Wark and Phillips and the word glory will be in there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be hilarious! 😂 It'd be hilarious watching their response even if they beat our U23s. What'd be brilliant is if the fixture was at FCR, and we got a bigger crowd to watch our youth team than they get to watch their first team. Now that's "not normal"... 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,060 Posted April 16, 2019 It's actually Under 21s, which makes the hilarious prospect of our beating Ipswich slightly less likely. A similar thing happened this season; Sunderland drew Newcastle in the knockout stages and nearly 17,000 turned up. 3,000 of them were Newcastle fans! Sunderland smashed them 4-0. Again though, if the same thing happened it would be hilarious seeing their reaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
