Carling Cup / FA Cup
What are the differences in the participants in the English FA Cup and the Carling Cup?
I am pretty sure that the FA Cup is open to any English club but the Carling Cup is more restricted. But I can't find the answer as to who exactly is in the Carling Cup. Can any UKers help a Yankee out? Thanks. KJS |

Re: Carling Cup / FA Cup
Carling Cup is only for the teams in the first 4 levels of English football. That would be the Premiership, Championship and 1st and 2nd Division.

[/ QUOTE ] there are 4 fully professional divisions, The Premier Legue, the Football league championship, league 1, and league 2. There are also tiers of football below league 2 that you can get promoted up from. I think in all total, there are 11 divisions of both professional and amateur football. Theoretcially you can climb the ladder all the way up(though I don't know of any team that has done that off hand) |

Re: Carling Cup / FA Cup
The FA cup is open to any team with membership of the english FA so my local village team that gets 1 man and his dog there usually can enter the preliminary rounds. Round 1 proper comes after I think 6 preliminary rounds so the non league teams then get a shot at the 3rd and 4 th division teams.
Carling cup is for the 4 football league division teams. |
