I see another few matches this week have been postponed due to the weather, and things are forecast to get worse over the next few weeks including some snow.
Are we now getting to a position where cup competitions may be pulled?
There have been 3 attempts so far to play some games and they are still not decided, it could be that we get into December before some 1st round games are completed. How is this going to start impacting the league given that there has been a lot of postponements from those games over the last couple of weeks too.

2 x FA competitions 1 x County competition 1 or 2 x League competitions
All just seems a bit much to be honest.
Especially when you look at the attendances

Must bring this up again after the last few weeks.
Clubs are so far behind on fixtures now something has to give.

I was informed that this topic is on the agenda at the next league meeting, which is sometime this month, due to the amount of league cup games being postponed. I wouldn't be surprised to see them both cancelled this season.

I don't get how you can pull the cup competitions because of a backlog of fixtures when you've let two clubs have about four to six weeks off if not more to sort there shit out. Doesn't make any sense at all. The league have basically added fuel to the fire by doing that. Madness. Crazy.

Why not just play them for those that are well behind games after the last Saturday in April when league games finish

Yeah im not sure if the debate of cancelling them is on the agenda, i just know the league cup topic itself is being spoken about. But, if its all of a sudden being spoken about then you would assume its so see if they are worth continuing with this season. I know the competitions were stopped due to covid, was it?
It can be a bit of hard work if some clubs are having a succesful season in the FA Vase, FA Cup, County cups as well as contending with having full time jobs.

Ive said manier time before why cant the league cup and county cups be played pre season? Clubs often field weaker squads in them and they are hardly a money spinner

Clubs often field weaker squads in them and they are hardly a money spinner Normally clubs don't register players until a week or 2 weeks before, plus some clubs have their money spinner friendlies, Bishops vs Boro, Redcar v Pools and Bluestar vs Sunderland just off the top of my head from last pre season. Don't see the need for League cups personally, or if you have them clubs should be given to the option to withdraw from them
