 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough. QPQ present. Hook is cited and interesting (I vastly prefer ALT1 because it does not involve word gymnastics). One thing I'd need clarified before approving is a lot of the wording is similar to other Football League Cup articles. Is this OK? Raymie (t • c) 23:02, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
