It depends on the club really. I'm thinking more about the young players, fringe players who now just wont play, what happens to them now, dumped, go to play at a lower level? These players need to learn the game at this level Clubs Ive been involved in, players I've spoken too, a lot are gutted about the decision. Why not as Ive said give the individual club the choice, or ask the clubs opinion, a vote, rather than just bludgeoning straight over the top of them. All clubs are different and have their own opinions, and should have been treat with the respect of having a say in this. Just my opinion and going off lots of feedback I've had Probably because this is about ensuring that spare dates are taken up by league games rather than cup games.

I'd guess the majority of clubs couldn't care less about these two cups. Most clubs will make very little financially and for many, it'll be a loss maker. I've never understood the 'nothing to play for' comment when it comes to League games. Most clubs know they aren't going to win the league, does that make their entire League season pointless?

Yeah its a good point, one I'd already thought about, again for me it should be down to the clubs, an additional date during the week would take no organizing should two clubs who want to play these games agree. Even the ones not too sure as I say could give young and fringe players the chance to prove themselves. Those kids, parents, relations I guarantee you would attend, buy programmes with the kids name in, merchandise, food and drink etc. so I dont personally think the loss in finance fits.

100%, maybe something to consider in the future. There are many plus points and minus points for me, again just my opinion the plusses outweigh the minus for the majority of clubs.
