The EFL Trophy - Let us have a crack

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

I know the EFL trophy is regarded as a tinpot trophy.. but wouldn't it be nice to have a realistic chance of winning something at Wembley?
Why not expand the EFL trophy to include Championship teams? Its pretty boring watching us compete in tournaments that we've almost no chance of winning isn't it?

Once we get a cat1 academy, our u21s can participate (if the first team competes at a high enough level)

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Yeah, let's win a trophy we're not eligible to play in.

Excellent idea.

Bring back the Watney Cup!

Bring back the Watney Cup!

Bring back the Watneys Party Four!

It was four pints of foaming beer in a can or, with Shaw’s Lemonade, six pints of shandy.

It was rank!!

 

[HD8 Blades]

It would be like a pro athlete giving 100% at his kids sports day. Leave it for Salford, Chesy and Weds to scrap over

You mean the ones we got to the Semi Final for ? We have as good a chance as anyone !

 

[Bladesman]

Get our academy to Cat 1 so our young lads can play in it.

Despite me thinking its a fucking joke that its allowed.

Or the alternative beverages, CherryB and Babycham.

Proper drinkers had a party seven and let the kids have the lemonade!

I think Watneys went out of business about a decade before I was even born.

Babycham and Cherry B are still going though.

Can anyone remember us getting to a final? I'd be impressed as it was 1925. I dont think we have as good a chance as Man City or any half decent Prem team. We're just making the numbers up.

1936 was the last time we reached the final

Right you are, chatGPT can go f*ck itself. Still long enough for us to get the message that it might be fun to be in a tournie without the prem billionaires.

Steel City Trophy anyone?!

I’d prefer us to actually win this for a change. Seen so many wanker club’s lift it…But never us.

 

[JJBlade]

Club couldn't sell the tickets for Wembley for a proper competition, how embarrassing would it be to see less than 10,000 of our season ticket holders showing up and nobody else being able to buy two seats together despite there being 30,000 empty spaces

 

[WF10BLADE]

What about all the now defunct trophies we have Played In, bring some of them back.

Full Members Cup
Simod Cup
Zenith Data systems Cup
The Yorkshire & Humberside trophy

Think Brexit killed that one :-(

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I never want to go to Wembley Stadium again. Awful stadium and awful place to have a stadium.

 

[BerksBlade]

League Cup & FLT should be merged, and limited to EFL teams.

 

[WF10BLADE]

I dunno what's worse, us playing in that JPT shit for 6 years, or the fact we never had a sniff at winning the fucking thing.

I could get on board with that.

Not really we don't do we, since in last 35 years the fa cup has been won 30 times by teams in the "big 6" and the league cup or Carabao hasnt been won by anyone other than the 2 Manchester clubs, Liverpool or Chelsea since 2014

Give it a couple of years…

1936 was the last time we reached the final

My Uncle Fred who died aged 98 during lockdown claimed to remember the 1925 final (he was 3) and was about to leave secondary school, alongside his mate Fred Furniss, in 1936.

League Cup & FLT should be merged, and limited to EFL teams.

or include all EPL teams that didn't qualify for Europe in the preceeding season and give a place in the following season's Europa Conference League to the winner.
