Does anyone want The Conference Cup?

It looks as though both clubs and spectators think the Conference Cup is a total waste of time and money.

Last night only 180 fans watched Forest Green Rovers defeat Aldershot 5-1 at the lawn.

The official Aldershot site reported the attendance as follows: The crowd was the smallest to watch a competitive Aldershot Town fixture in our 13 year history. It "beat" even some of the gates in the various Isthmian League cups, including the previous all-time low at Oxford City in December 1996, when 202 watched a Full Members Cup 1st Round match.

The Bulls play Northwich in the "Micky Moules" cup as it is known on Confguide next Tuesday. Given the interest elsewhere, could the attendance be a record low for Hereford?
