Really got to get into local folk to support the team as it feels lethargy setting in if we can't muster ourselves for turn out to see Premier League players at our ground.

Pathetic yet again from the Accy public, half of whom probably think Cardiff are still in the Championship. You make a very good point re. the lack of build up in the media especially, but it doesn't help that we don't have a proper, authentic local paper any more. Two other points. One, this competition has been devalued in recent years, and we all know the big teams are going to send their reserve squads, which doesn't help a bit, so the ticket prices were quite high, even though the special 2 for one offer should have made a bigger difference. Still, well done to the Shrimps for a great attendance, even though they drew the biggest travelling support in the land.
