The Watney Cup. Big business sponsorship & Penalty Shootouts. It was actually very influential in changing football in this Country.

Are these changes for the better? In my opinion, no, because the big six clubs plus the rest of the PL clubs make massive amounts of money from sponsorship deals The more popular the club, the more money that can be made.

As for penalty shootouts. A definite no here too because penalty shootouts are a way of depriving smaller clubs of lucrative replays in cup competitions.

It has also changed the game when it comes to finals that are now decided by penalty shootouts if their is no result after extra time. Some teams actually base their tactics on holding out for deciding a game by penalties.

Penalty Shootouts have basically changed the professional game for the worse in my opinion.

Proud to be a supporter for 58 years & counting of the oldest professional football club in the World. COYP

    That revived some memories from almost a lifetime ago.I attended all the Rams home games.It was good practice for bigger things to come.

    When I looked on Wiki, I noticed the Rams were the first to win it.

    I do recall seeing the competition named in some of the Notts OTDs, but none all that memeriable.
