For the bigger clubs or the clubs who have more important games or could get further in something like the FA Cup/FA Trophy, it is a ridiculous competition to be honest because they field poor sides and its just a waste of space...not only that, but any first teamers that play could get needlessly injured and that could really hurt them in the league games. For teams like Witton it could be quite good because they get a chance to test themselves against teams like us, and in a way it can be good for teams like us to go to Crewe etc.
When we got to the final the other year and beat Crewe there were great scenes and twas a great night out...proud to support the Cheshire senior cup winners but in truth we wont play a strong team and it isnt that important at all.
Its particularly bad for us really, because we already struggle being part time in a full time league and it could just wear players out...also, it seems to take priority over league games these days which means, the league games that are postponed are crammed in somewhere else in the fixture list and its harder for us!
