National League Cup

[Freeloader]

Wasn't aware of this competition that includes Spurs U21 actually existed.  Fixture tonight:

Ebbsfleet United vs. Spurs U21


From Wiki:

"The competition was formed for the inaugural season of what was then called the Alliance Premier League, in 1979–80 and existed for twenty-two seasons before being axed at the end of the 2000–01 season.[citation needed] It was briefly reformed for the 2004–05 season, in the form of the Conference Challenge Cup,[1] but following a poor response it was again agreed not to renew the competition for the next season. [citation needed]

With the transfer of sponsorship of the Conference to Blue Square for the start of the 2007–08 season two seasons later, the re-introduction of the competition was announced, scheduled to commence that year.[2] On 23 June 2009 the Conference League Cup's sponsor, Setanta's GB division went into administration[3] and ceased broadcasting.[4]

In the 2024–25 season, the competition was revived as the 32-team National League Cup, with 16 National League clubs and 16 under-21 teams from Premier League 2."

From what I understand there’s been quite a bit of pushback from NL clubs about this, with a few refusing to participate (hence 16 teams).

Basically a FL Trophy but for non league instead of Leagues One and Two then.

Sounds pretty mickey mouse.
