    I refuse to call it whatever it's named now.

    It's obvious with the draw fiascos that the League don't give a **** about it.
    It's obvious with the turnouts that the fans of Premier League clubs don't give a ****.
    It's obvious from performances that player of Premier League teams don't give a ****.

    Either we need to have Prem teams enter later like those in Europe do or we have Prem teams fielding under 25 players or something.

    Thoughts?

    I don't know what but something needs to be done. Not a fan of the seeded draw at all and the ludicrous draws definitely hasn't helped it.

    The trickle of entry of Premier League teams doesn't help

    I think we should change it to include scottich prem teams (even irish ones) add some interest. man utd rangers would add some interest to idiots. prem teams go in one round later.

    AFC John 'O Groats vs Lands End Rovers on a Tuesday night would be amusing.

    In all seriousness I think if the League cup is dumped, we could include all UK teams in the FA cup.

    They should scrap it & all previous winners should be deleted from the records.

    They should rename it the Beijing Invitation Cup.

    The correct answer here I fear,is nothing.This is because it has nothing to do with us given our recent attempts.

    Make it an Alice in Wonderland egg cup and I may stop sulking and resume a modicum of interest.

    Wonder if it would help if we played later rounds abroad ? It looks like it is just a matter of time before a premier game is abroad, think letting Scottish teams in would be great, some great away trips

    I don't really understand the point of the League cup. We already have an undervalued cup competition, why do we need another one?
    Get rid.
