Anybody know the prize money for winning?It will be Oxford United at home.
Thanks. I was against it at the beginning but I now see the advantages of giving our youngsters good run-outs, allowing previously injured players to get match fit, and earning a few extra quid in the meantime.Apparantly £20k for winning in round 2, followed by £40k for winning round 3. Not bad for a competition we all tend to dismiss.
Oxford isn't a bad draw & we have every chance of progressing.

We are getting excited about the EFL trophy because of prize money and how it presents a great opportunity to give youngsters a run out.Yes likewise, I was originally dismissive of the competition initially, but I can now see some of the advantages it offers.
I don't think anybody is getting excited about it : we're just saying that we can be more objective about it. Your first paragraph states some very good positivesWe are getting excited about the EFL trophy because of prize money and how it presents a great opportunity to give youngsters a run out.
What we are not getting excited about is the prospect of having to play games in the competition and face the likes of Oxford United with half a first team squad or face the likes of West Ham's under 21's.
This is why it should be scrapped. Every competitive game of football the first team play should promote excitement and anticipation in the fans because they desperately want to win games that matter.
