“THAT TOILET’S GOT MY NAME ON IT”

Who among us hasn’t dreamt of having a urinal

named after us at a League One ground?

Here’s your chance. Returning to Plough Lane next

summer at a brand-new stadium, AFC Wimbledon are

crowd-funding initiative to raise some readies.

Each person to donate £10 or more goes into a draw

to have the stadium named after them in one of the

first five matches there. Every single donor will have

their name on something within the stadium: turnstile,

entrance gate, beer tap or urinal, the choice is theirs.

How long until a Wimbledon fan asks for a urinal

under the name of Pete Winkelman?

CARABAO CUP DRAW IN

MORRISONS? HOLD OUR IRN-BRU...

Forget the UEFA Cup, here’s the Wafer Cup. The

Scottish Challenge Cup was already weird: clubs from

outside Scotland’s top flight face Scottish Premiership

U21 teams, teams from the Highland League and

Lowland League, teams from Wales, Northern Ireland

and the Republic of Ireland, plus Wrexham and

Solihull Moors from England’s National League.

Now it’s got weirder. Formerly the Irn-Bru Cup, the

newly renamed Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Challenge

Cup kicks off this month, so the SPFL did the only

sensible thing: they mocked up the draw to make it

look like it was being held in a confectionery shop.

Suddenly, the EFL’s decision to hold the Carabao Cup

draw in Morrisons seems sensible by comparison.

While Billy Dodds gamely plucked out his balls, an

old bloke loitered nearby in a lab coat borrowed from

a school chemistry lab. But it was all worth it for the

ties the draw threw up: the obvious Sky game is

Livingston under 21s versus Formantine United.

FUCHS?!
