    As we have Oldham in our group, I'm suprised they won't throw in Leicester and one other Manchester Team to hold our very own CoVid lockdown cup in this competition.

    It's £20k for simply participating in the competition and then as you say, £10k for a win and £5k for a draw in the early stages. Last season the average pay out from the competition was around £45k for each Div 2 team. It's not megabucks even for a club in the khazi but there might be additional matchday revenues to offset against the costs of staging the games. Its importance to the club is that the player costs fall outside the salary cap and if the club has any sense, they'll use the extra cash as cup bonuses or appearance money without impacting the salary cap and make it slightly more attractive to the players.

    Whether it's worth the effort to stage this competition in a crowded fixture list this coming season is questionable.

    Good draw to test our credentials.

    Assuming both teams put near strength teams out, which I assume may happen with league starting week after, it will be a good benchmark for the forthcoming season.

    Tony, first game was 76 so I guess I must be due to 'turn' soon! ;) I have come to take despair as one of the emotions you experience following City - makes the good times even more enjoyable :thumbup:

    Going to have to be able to beat teams from our own division if we are to have a cup run - we can beat Bolton as long as we go there with the right frame of mind :thumbup:

    Who cares who we draw. If you want to progress you gotta beat what's in front of you. Only way you'll see how good you are.

    Agree. As much as we all hate the FL trophy, I hope we take it seriously this season, given it's something like 10k per win I think.

    Bolton have invested heavily in a bright, up and coming manager who has used sophisticated modern methods to assemble an impressive squad. We have gone back to tried and tested failures in both manager and players while spending as little as possible. We can't lose.

    Lets hope the team go there with genuine ambition and show a bit more of a positive attitude than some of the miserable gits on here! FFS, for some of you the team is simply a reflection of your own negativity to everything - lets at least keep some hope until the inevitable (in your eyes) losing run begins!! :rolleyes:

    Finances from these competitions could be vital to some clubs in this climate, interested to get the thoughts of the club to see if we are one of them. Suppose we’ll know by the strength of the team we put out in the trophy games.

    It just had to be Bolton or Tranmere in the draw.

    Don’t know why people think it’s an awful draw, we’re in the bottom tier. We could have got a team from one or even two tiers higher, like last year when we got pumped to Prestons reserves 4-0. If we get a narrow loss then no shame in it as they’re expected to be up there, if we win then it’s a good start going into the season. Only way it’s bad is if we get pumped, I think Bolton’s team is to new to give someone a thrashing this early I expect them still to be gelling.
