15-16 L1 Capital One Cup Thread

Bit late to the discussion, but I'd prefer regionalising the draw and dropping the seedings. Makes a mockery of the seedings system when the draw could have thrown up Fleetwood v Doncaster, who finished 3 spots apart from each other last season. And the football league have not managed to avoid teams having to travel fair distances and totally take the piss out of the so called north/south split. Blackpool heading to Northampton, Derby going to Pompey, Wimbledon travelling to Cardiff. Same every year too.

Make it regionalised like the JPT but totally remove the seedings system. Even if they trial it for a year, I bet it would be better received than the current system.

Predictably SKY go for the bigger teams, Portsmouth vs Derby and Doncaster vs Leeds will be shown live.

What is sky's obsession with leeds?

 

[Dan Phillips]

Bigger target audience, I'd guess.

Think about it. It really isn't that hard to work out why leeds are on tv more than anyone else.

 

[Crewelad87]

The two games they picked will probably comfortably get the biggest TV viewing figures. Again hence why Leeds are always on they knock every football league team out of the water. Its all about the viewing figures, that's what the advertisers care about and they put the money in, its simple as that.

Potential 'shock' factor maybe?

Our game with Preston has been moved back 24 hours to the Wednesday because they are on TV on the previous Sunday.

Maybe not, but I doubt we would have been happy to move the fixture unless there was a decent chance of you boys having your Boro game moved too.

[TomPNE94]

Fucks sake. Rumour is Sunday lunchtime which is a right ball ache.
