Aparently, due to the amount of interest generated by the Express Cup, the programmes on sale at the Steeler's home EC games (such as tomorrow) are just a standard programme with a loose sheet with the teams on.
Hopfully the ISL will look at this and the attendances and realose that no one is bothered with the Express Cup and therefore not bother with it next year. I for one was not bothered by a 42 game season and anyway, even if you were, if you are going to see the same teams over and over it may as well be in the same competition. A season with more games is good because it requires a team to have more consistency to win the championship.
