Weren’t they supposed to turn up in their millions for that game and take over Wembley like that German club did to Woolwich
At its 2018 Summer Conference, EFL clubs have voted on a number of rule changes to next season’s Carabao Cup competition including the removal of extra time.
The rationale put forward by the EFL is that withdrawing the additional 30 minutes of play would directly address any additional fatigue issues that are occasionally caused when the midweek ties go beyond the traditional 90-minute period.
A statistical analysis was presented that demonstrated how almost 85 per cent of matches ended in normal time over a three-year period, without the additional period being required, and as a result clubs have supported the new approach.
In the event that scores are tied after 90 minutes, penalty kicks will be taken immediately to determine a winner. However, the format of penalties in the competition will revert to the traditional format after EFL clubs trialled the ABBA concept throughout the 2017/18 season. This will be applicable in all EFL competitions.
In addition to the on-field matters, clubs were also given the option to remove the seeding arrangements from the first two rounds of the Carabao Cup and the vote determined that this element will no longer feature. Round One will remain regionalised into North and South sections.
The EFL also confirmed that VAR can be used in next season’s competition at all fixtures played at a Premier League stadium.

What so impressed me with City was how madly they celebrated at the final whistle. There was no "its only the league cup" they had won a cup final and celebrated in style - a winning mentality is priceless and we should be trying to win every and anything we can!
They're not in the CL this year....
Right. Time for the real draw!
Dippers v Chavs
Ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
We could end up playing at a fourth venue for the PL match against Citeh.
Ooh that petition is going to get a few more signatures!

Wonder what the attendance is going to be for this?
None of my lot are going.
I'd travel there alone to watch our youth play a league cup game on a work night if we were the away side, and would have gone to Wembley or Watford. But for a "home" game the atmosphere will be horrible. I think I will give it a miss.
I can see it being 12,000, helped by locally based Spurs fans and Watford selling out their allocation.

They're basically putting their relationship with the Wimbledon supporters trust above the Spurs team
I'll be there, fuck the train though, going by motor for a change.
What a fucking big hoohaaa......if we were drawn away at Liverpool, no one would give a fuck, but an hour in the car or 50 minutes on the train and its all about boycotts and whining.
Go or dont. Thats the choice, like it is with every game, wherever its played.
Spurs fans and Watford fans who dont want to go, you wont be missed, Id imagine it will be a full house anyway, with people who want to watch their teams.

Just fucking kill me now
They are getting all lairy over on KUMB.....
They never learn.

I was saying last night I think we have a better chance playing away in this competition. The support last night was quality, better and noisier than it would have been at Wembley or MK. If the game was in Tottenham or if it was a standard league game I'd take it at home.
