    This one must have passed well over my head. I'm sure it'll have been mentioned on here at some point though. I didn't realise if you can't fulfil the game then you have to forfeit.

    I'm summising it due to Covid but would it also include unfit pitches?

    TBF I can see the rationale around it.
    I'm not really that bothered with my BFC hat on. We're never going to win it. Also if we get a big, big draw either home or away we can't go anyway. And I can't see anyone at the final.....

    I reckon those competing for PL top six won't be arsed anyway due to the fixtures to be completed.

    Thoughts ..........

    To the contrary, theoretically we could very well win it without ever having to play a fixture :)

    Only chance we'd have of winning cup is if the big boys are drawn against each other and slip up in the early rounds. Blew best chances we've had since 1912 in 1998,1999 and 2008.

    I also think best chance we've had of winning League Cup was blown in 99 when we lost to Tranmere. We'd have beaten Leicester in the Final with that team.

    They should have scrapped both cup competitions this year to create more space in the calendar for rearranged games.

    Thoughts regarding "byes".
    "Goodbye" can seem a little final, especially if expressed with anger.
    "Bye" is my preference, a friendlier form of farewell, not quite so harsh or final. A hint of "see you later".
    "Bye bye" is a bit too childish for adult conversation, but sounds lovely coming from your grandkids.
    "Au revoir" is to be avoided at all times, unless you're French or pretentious, or both.
