Talk:EFL Trophy

2006 sponsorship controversy
Many Wikipedia articles have controversial issues under their own heading. This is because there is usually a specific interest in these articles. Surely this should be done for the 2006 sponsorship controversy as well?


 * its not really of that much importance, and only one paragraph Robdurbar 21:24, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

doncaster won it this year

Luton's ranking
The article mentions Luton being lowest rank winners at 92nd. That would be their league "ranking", but given that the trophy is only open to the bottom half of the entire league system, there would never be a number 1 ranked winner? Wouldn't a ranking of 48 be better? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.68.85 (talk) 22:55, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

1982/83 Football League Trophy
I see that this has been left out of this section.

Any particular reason why?

The Final was held at Lincoln City's ground Sincil Bank on 20th April 1983 between Lincoln City & Millwall. Millwall won 3-2 GazzaLDN (talk) 05:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * The 1982/83 event is included under the Football League Group Cup article, a tournament which started under that name in 1981/82 (as a follow on from the Anglo-Scottish Cup), but which was named for 1982/83 season as FLT. However, the format of the 82/3 event was exactly the same as 81/2 (notably it was still open to First and Second Division sides) and thus it is regarded as a different event, although there are some sources that regard the FLGC as an early version of the FLT.

Sponsor versus Sponsorship section
There is a Sponsorship section in the middle of the article and a Sponsor section at the end of the article that has pretty much exactly the same information in them. Is there any reason that one of the two shouldn't be erased?Zappa2496 (talk) 14:36, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Good point. Done now. Eldumpo (talk) 20:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Previous formats
There are some difficulties with the text here, exacerbated by the statto.com links being largely or wholly broken. I've altered the description of the first format used ("In each section the two second-round losers..") but it's speculative, based on what I guess the text was meant to say. If someone knowledgable could check it, that would be cool.

"Conference teams no longer participated from the 2006–07 tournament onward, and the format reverted to 8 first-round teams in each section, with 8 sides gaining byes to the second round."

I can only guess that was meant to read "..each first-round section", but I'm not confident enough to reword it so that it makes sense. Again, any expert help will be appreciated. Harfarhs (talk) 21:14, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Johnstones paint link
since their is no article to Johnstones paint, the linkls on this part should probably link to their parent company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPG_Industries instead of redirecting back to this article, this fact is mentioned on their about page here http://www.johnstonespaint.com/about-us im suggesting this change as this seems appropriate

Dubious
The section on the competition final states that the 1984 match was moved from Wembley Stadium due to damage to the pitch caused by the Horse of the Year Show. This seems unlikely - this link shows that the Horse of the Year Show was an indoor event in the autumn staged at Wembley Arena from 1959 to 2002.--Bcp67 (talk) 09:20, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
