I'm beginning to feel sorry I asked.

So this is the thing that we once reached the northern final of?

 

[Skitzo]

yup

No. That was the full members cup. This is the associate members cup.
Associate members is bottom two divisions. .

[Skitzo]

That's cleared that up then.

didn't we get to the northern final of this last season? or close to it.

I don't remember the League Cup, which I assume is the full member cup, having a northern final

No, the Full Members Cup was something else, it was introduced when English teams were banned from Europe.

That's cleared that up then.

The full members cup (AKA Simod cup and Zenith Data Systems Trophy) was brought in when English clubs were banned from Europe, and it was for the top two divisions. We played The two Notts teams in the Northern semi final and final one year.

The Associate members cup was for the bottom two divisions. In recent years under 21 teams from the top two divisions have been invited to take part.

We got to the quarter finals of this competition last season.

The full members cup is not the league cup. It was a late eighties/early nineties thing.
