Pathetic and shameful if true. Another ridiculous advantage to those with the biggest squads. Part of the excitement of any cup is when some of the big guns go out and the draw opens up for smaller clubs in lower divisions. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) That pre draw is such a joke. Supposedly due to the new European format meaning they’d be unable to play each other. No doubt the EFL were only too delighted to accommodate keeping them all apart. They now get a bye, a 4/6 chance of being at home, and get to all avoid each other.

spyinthesky Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Should be a decent size crowd, I think Everton's game against Doncaster was almost a sell out Presumably the home fans want to be able to enjoy the 'Goodison' experience before moving to their new stadium.

By ensuring they can't eliminate each other and giving them easy draws, they're making sure they'll all get more fixtures, supposedly to ease their fixture congestion???

Even if there was only 24 hrs between the fixtures, so what. We have just played Cardiff and both sides made 11 changes, top teams have more than enough in their squads to be able to do exactly the same, and still be competitive. Either that or bow out of the competition altogether, either way we shouldn't be pandering to the top teams, but unfortunately, money talks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly to reduce fixture congestion but more probably to suit the TV coverage so that they can have more games. That’s also probably the reason that the kickoff time hasn’t been fixed yet.

Saints would prefer the 2nd week with blank weekend following but I think we'll be first week (17th or 18th) Liverpool will need to be home week 2 as they play champions league in week 1 and they won't have Liverpool and Everton at home same week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
