Agree with the above.

It all depends on how the big teams(the Colchester and Southend's of this world) take the competition.

 

If my memory serves me well,back in 1976 there was a cup formed called "The Essex Professional Cup" . It was formed so that Professional clubs like Colchester/ Southend & Dagenham now could play. Tilbury won it beating a full strength Southend 3-0 at a packed Tilbury.

The smaller clubs, like Romford, played in Essex Senior Cup.

 

The next season it went back to the Essex Senior Cup and the league sides seem to have stayed in it since. They dont take it seriously and only play their reservs.

 

I feel that to get the competition back to how it was, and give us lowly non league sides a chance of winning a cup, league sides should not be allowed to compete again.
