Apparently, those clubs with Academies invited to enter the competition should have made their decision yesterday.
What happens if not enough of them accept to run the competition? Will it revert to the Johnstones Cup format we all know and love?
The million squid put up is ringfenced whether the 'big boys' participate or not.

I'm sure Reading and Blackburn could stretch to C team.....failing that divi up the players and make it 9 a side. |

I read somewhere that the league had not given them a deadline to accept (another screw up) I'm guessing they will just about get enough as they will invite championship teams who will probably accept as it is another reserve game |

The FL are going to end up giving Championship clubs a financial incentive to take part to save face. Meaning less money to the teams in L1 & L2 that actually need it. Another triumph  |

I see the draw is being made for the joke of the EFL Trophy this morning.

From what I can see we could end up in a group with one of Chelsea, West Ham, Swansea or Reading.
Would be a disaster if was Chelsea, the CG would be quite busy for that game I fear

Chelsea B, Oxford & Exeter
Well that draw couldn't have been any worse if you want people to boycott the competition, 2 big crowds I'd guess

Might be more to do with the new PL2 under 23 league which is starting up. Could possibly affect the loan market in terms of PL teams keeping players back to play in the new league. |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

People will go to the Chelsea B game at the CG. They may not be all Town fans but people will go.

No I think they play all away. Even if not they've just bought AFC's ground for youth and ladies teams. |

Disappointing.
Also adds to the prospect of having to sit through another GW Reds display.
