Maybe best to move on to other issues !
I think being worried about the exact method of determining games in what is the 4th tier competition for most clubs (5th for several) is probably verging on OCD
As long as the aim is not to give any teams an advantage it doesn't matter.
In other competitions fixtures are 'rigged' to give teams a huge advantage, surely that should be one to worry about ?

Can confirm the draw at the group stage is 'arranged'.

You will also note there is no Port Vale v Stoke, as well as no Saints v Pompey.

billybraggsbeard Only went to the Saints away game just before Xmas , but that was a good competitive match


Been struggling to find the official attendance figure for that match. I though originally it must have been "behind closed doors", but clearly if you went it couldn't have been. Any thoughts on what the attendance might have been?

We had maybe 75-100, Saints filled their home dugout side stand 3/5ths full from memory.
