BUFC must take this tournament seriously - ANY club from steps 1 & 2 that do are likely to make, at least, the quarter finals. So many clubs treat this competition as a "throw-away" cup.
Saying that, I am a bit surprised that in 2021 that this trophy has survived and has not gone the same way as the Texaco, Watney, Anglo-Scottish, Various Non-League KO cups, etc. Still a valid path to Wembley glory!
