I would have preferred a return of the Anglo Scottish Cup or maybe an invitation of National League sides to enter... The real structural chasm is that Premier League clubs can afford to keep youngsters through to U21/U23 levels in other words hoarding talent) and Clubs like Notts releasing good players like Wildin, as in reality there isn't the budget to keep them in the hope they will come good in a couple of years.

If you learn something from every game, there shall come a point in time, when you should never lose... Jimmy Sirrel

Will the EFL allow lower league teams to field at least 3-5 of our own youngsters without issuing the club with a fine? You know, fielding a weaker squad and all that baloney. We can't improve our own youngsters that well, as most teams seem scared to field them in the league.

A field where dreams become reality.

I think fans should continue to boycott it. Maybe the cost of putting on a game against Sunderland reserves in front of 200 people will be enough for AH to think again regarding this ridiculous 'competition'. I also hope that the PL reserve sides do really well and reach Wembley.

Kudos to any lower league clubs that field 11 kids and pay their fine begrudgingly.
