40,432 - Chelsea v Bournemouth
59,016 - Arsenal v Tottenham

Those attendances don't suggest to me that nobody gives a shit about the League Cup any more.

It's always been a competition that has sat below the league and the FA Cup in the pecking order for most fans, but I don't think things are any different in that respect to how they were ten or twenty years ago.
Don’t some clubs include these games on their season tickets.
May be the case with Boro as that crowd is exceptional in comparison to most similar fixtures
