As a HUFC fan, it's a set of changes I feel are just going to ruin the competition for the lower league teams where it might of been their only chance to get to Wembley. Also if I wanted to watch Hartlepool v Sunderland U21's, I'd of went to the pre season friendly last week for the second halfDont knock it, till it has been tried and tested...
To be honest, I aint totally for it myself, but I dont see the problem with it, I am sure the Premier League has put money into it. Also it is a way for youngsters to gain much needed experience as currently there lucky if the U21's play 20 games a season

About Cambridge, I aint surprised there in the Northern Draw...Also Cheltenham, Wallsall and Shrewsbury are North as well.
Look at the Division Darlington are in...National League North, a division that currently has Kidderminster, Gloucester, Worcester and Brackley and previously had Oxford City, Histon and Bishops Stortford.
Because of the awkward layout of England, teams will ultimately end up in a division that does not seem to make sense.
I suspect Cambridge are in the Northern Draw because Road links are better to the North and North East. Who would you suggest swapping Cambridge for, as I cant see a logical swap, they are probably one of the Northerly Teams in that part of Southern England

Getting to St James' Park is really easy with us as we run two dedicated Park & Ride routes. You can park in Metrocentre Coach Park and catch our X50 Soccerbus or at Newcastle Great Park and catch our Quaylink Q3.

Yep...Football is all about the readies these days...But as I said before, I am sure the Premier League has put money into the EFL Trophy
