As the competition has academy sides it isn’t a competitive game like the league or league cup - pretty much - it’s like a halfway house between a competitive game and a friendly.
If the competition was fully competitive suspensions and bookings etc from this competition would count - like they do in the fa cup and league cup. Here they don’t.
It’s pleasing we’re playing the game with s competitive edge though

Of course it is a competitive tournament, it is sanctioned by the FL. Who are you trying to convince, us or yourself?

The champions league isn't ran by the same board as the premier league, so of course they wouldn't carry over - what a daft thing to say
The Premiership, football league the FA cup the league cup and the trophy are all ran by the FA. So why would bookings from 4 carry over, but the trophy doesn't?
Maybe Martin might like to try and clarify things

This competition gave us our greatest day, and now it is tainted by academy sides who have no place in it. Yet those who criticize it and clearly outline why they will never attend a game in it are ridiculed and called miserable? Short sighted and a terrifying insight into how easy it will be once the prem decide they want to steal a few league places for their reserves. It's a disgrace on the part of all who support it.

I doubt any Stags fan supports Prem u21 sides being in the comp, but most will continue to support our club in the competition. Only one person to date has said they want us to lose, which actually is a disgrace. If we get to Wembley, you'll be there, along with the other boycotting heroes.

I won't be there sadly. Not claiming to be a hero, and if people want to attend then not much can be done. What I dislike is the arrogant and disrespectful attitude to fans boycotting the competition for perfectly valid reasons. You said yourself no fan supports the inclusion of U21 sides. Some just go further with their way of showing this.

It ISNT a competitive fixture, so DOESNT count. If it were bookings and suspensions in this trophy would count to league bookings which it doesn’t.
Can’t argue at the £20k raised so far, that is useful funds for the club.

I have no problem with those staying away, I do have a bit (and it is just a bit) of an issue with the fact they are staying away being rammed down our throats on threads like this.
If we do make it and you don't go then I feel sorry for you, not being able to support your club on a very rare trip to the national stadium is very sad, I speak as someone who living in Lincoln saw at first hand what joy this competition can bring to fans of small clubs like ours.
