At the recent League AGM in Torquay, a motion was passed to allow member clubs to opt out of the League Cup competition in 2013/14.

The club has since decided to withdraw from the cup competition for the forthcoming season due to the increase in the number of teams in the Premier Division in 2013/14 meaning that clubs will play 4 extra league fixtures.

In addition, the associated costs of the competition were taken in consideration, while the club's geographical position within the current make-up of the Southern League with regards to midweek travel was also taken into account since many of the Midlands based clubs from previous seasons are now competing in different leagues.
