Friendly League Cup Season 82

[Brian G.]

  Password has been sent to all 64 current Teams.
  Please join as soon as possible.
  We cannot have anyone not joining for our first 64 Team Cup that I can remember.
  (I wonder if Eamonn can predict the winner this season?).

I'll have a go Brian,

I go for Super Imps to shock the sunday league world by winning again!!!!

  The first 32 teams have joined and I have a list of them so if the worst happens and we do not get all teams to join I may have to cut it down to these  32.

Great stuff as usual Brian, thanks for sorting this out to a 64 team K.O!

Chuffed I can finally enter the FL Cup this season .... Haven't been able to the last 3 seasons due to spaces getting filled up so quick.

Hope I can make it past Round 1 haha

I cannot believe that with this cup now free entry and for the first time that I can remember we have a 64 team Cup.  However, it is almost time for the Cup to be started and there are still THREE spaces left.  This is even though everyone has been sent the password.  Several teams have been sent a reminder.  These teams who have not yet joined have now been sent another Final request to enter message.  One of them has been messaged yet again while he was online asking what is the problem.. Still not entered nor replied.  To say that I am annoyed is an understatement.
The choice I am left with is to scrap this Cup and restart a 32 team cup, that being the first 32 teams who entered this one, I do have a list of those teams.  Or to enter three minor teams who would not do any setting up with intentions to win any game.  That is players in wrong positions and no adv tactics etc.

I will give it until tomorrow Saturday, then decide what to do.

Let'a hope we can get the 64, I think I'm right in saying should there be 3 teams added now (that have no intention of setting up) two of them will meet in round one, meaning one of them will also feature in round two - fingers crossed.

I do not know how it would work, I would think it would depend on the actual draw.

I would suggest adding 3 2nd teams who don't play tactics. Happy to have Roman Empire as a sacrificial lamb so those 61 teams all have a chance to win the Cup.

Thanks Steve.  I can also add my two new Teams, Birchington and Sandwich and as I said, no tactics.  Or instead of my two teams, just one and I believe Eamonn has a spare team for such emergencies.

also happy to donate a knights team. white star and yellow are very average, and won’t do tactics

Yes, i can add a team if needed. 61 teams want to play. Would hate to lose them when it is so close to being a great cup

[Brian G.]

  Thanks to the Three Managers who have donated their minor Teams as Sacrificial Lambs, we now have a full Cup.  I would think it will start on Day 28 and the Final should be on Day 46. 
Good Luck to you all
