I see Bradford have won the first of their games tonight, away at Grimsby. That means they have 2 home games now against Man City's kids, and against us. It might come down to our game there, to decide who wins the Group. But on current form, would we rather play away in the knockout rounds ?.
I wish we would, but your probably right. So if its going to be our second choice players again, maybe a home tie will be better. Apparently we were terrible in the knockout round at Port Vale last season, which sort of made the Group qualification a complete waste of time.
Yes, still regionalised and you avoid the same group runner up. Regionalised for the last 8. North and south. Last 4 from those 2 groups then go to quarter finals unregionalised. Hope that makes sense.
