THE Anglo Italian Cup has been scrapped this season because the English and Italian leagues cannot agree on dates for fixtures. The competition was reintroduced in the 1992-93 season.

English Football League spokesman Chris Hull said yesterday: "This season the English and Italian leagues could not accommodate it. They couldn't find dates which suited both parties."
