Following the announcement that spectators are restricted from these matches and with our unique match-day costs, the club can confirm that we will not be taking part in this cup competition for financial reasons.
Added to the fact that Dan Brownlie's squad would also need time to get back to match-day fitness, to ensure no serious injuries occurred, the timing of this competition does not allow us to take part.
Further announcements around the football side of the club will be announced when any clear decisions can be confirmed.
Not surprised with rent costs at winklebury and limited numbers makes no sense just hope restrictions lifted before season starts or all our matches could be away days best start saving
Not sure why some clubs would play a competition for five or six weeks then shut the players down for a month in June. Otherwise players will have to continue playing a two-month pre-season before August season start. Seems a no-brainer to me, let alone the financial issue.
