So did I.

But I also read/heard that those U-21's couldn't be at home v an EFL team in the knockout phase. I don't understand the point/concept of this thing.

I thought the u21s had to play at the first team stadium for this Cup? 

Correct. Not a chance I'd be going to any game against an U23 side but to be honest I'd probably end up at one of the others.

Me too. The annoying thing would be if (big if) we got to Wembley and played an academy side. A huge part of any cup final is the camaraderie or even animosity if its against a 'rival'. You win, you rub it in with the usual songs and have a bit of banter even if its on line. You lose and take the stick that goes with it. That cant happen against a team that literally has no fans. Its piss poor.

Hopefully two u23 sides will get to the final so the EFL realise what a stupid set up it is

Problem is if it’s Rogers lot that get there they will still take a large following. So whilst the sentiment is sound it may not work in practice
