[Albion] EFL Trophy

[blue-shifted]

Playing Newport tonight at the Amex.

Could be a very low crowd size.

A bit cold. Rubbish tournament. Tonnes of Albion games coming ...... Not going

All the best to the youngsters though

Did they dump the rules about so many first teamers then? Was it Franchise who made three subs after a few minutes at Withdean to get around it?

7.2 For the EFL Clubs, a registered player is one who:

7.2.1 would be registered and eligible to participate in a match in the League Competition for that EFL Club commencing at the same time and on the same date as the Match in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations; or

7.2.2 would be so eligible but for the fact that they are registered on a Long Term Loan at a club playing in the National League (National Division, North Division or South Division) but by the agreement of the Club, the National League club and the Player he has permission to return to play in this Competition.

7.3 Each EFL Club shall play its Full Available Strength in and during all Matches. Full Available Strength means the EFL Club must include at least four Qualifying Players in the ten outfield Players named in the starting eleven on the Team Sheet.

Yes I would. I suspect a few others of us would like to as well. You think that's odd?

 

[Me and my Monkey]

I'd have gone if I wasn't working. Tch, some people!

 

[Marty McFly]

Yes, I'm real. Thanks.

I have two hours of the working day left, and that would have provided welcome entertainment.

Watching what could be the future of my team, definitely worth watching.

It's a supporters thing, you wouldn't understand.

Well, you've gone on a thread on a messageboard about it so it must hold some interest for you
