Same as Grumpy really. Soon as you have to play the rich kids then it's tinpot to me. It is patronising, beating lower league teams with all these kids. Should be further down the pyramid playing all the time before making the move to big clubs when they're ready for first team football regularly. Shouldn't be able to hoard like they do.

It's always been a bit tinpot in the early rounds to be fair! But at least back then it was a proper competition with sporting integrity. Group of 3, winner gets home tie in the next round , runner up away tie, third place team eliminated then a straight knock out before a two legged semi final. Originally Posted by Karl998yr

And this reserve team cup merits a Wembley final where you get to pay £50 for a ticket, £20 to park, £12 for a burger and 8 for a programme. It's just total bollox.
