NIKI1234 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 League cup will be our first game of the season, sounds bizzare! Think its due to the delayed start to the season due to the olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtAndrew Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It is because of the olympics, in most european countries the 1st round of a cup competition is played before the 1st game of the domestic league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm surprised the clubs have never thought of this before. Rochdale away aside, it's always been a bit of a damp squib this game. Doing it this way should see a decent crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 its because of the olympics,the season having to start later.starting the league cup before the league season was trailed in 1976/77 season.it was knocked on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 So 1st game will be midweek? Can see pros and cons, got to say though will be gutted if midweek as i will miss our 1st game of the season and miss the 1st game buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancy lad Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If we dont sign at least 15 players soon, we will have no chance of winning the League Cup. Bloody Preston have got their name all over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 so we can start concentrating on the league early next season in fact before its even started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Good idea could raise the profile of the comeptiton in the earlier rounds also being North and South pitty its not on a Saturday instead of a pre season friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 So it's going to be a northern fixture. We doing the first game walk again? Had my foot op on thursday so I should be able to take part this time instead of just drive the bus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
