in the Northern Rail Cup. I assume it's one of the new teams, but which one?

AND

Why is its name not listed?

AND

Where is the other new team?

But we have clubs in the Championship desperate to avoid dropping into a league of ' nobodies ' , which is why we have seen the wholesale ' twinning ' happening , which has then resulted in fans losing interest in the Championship [ which was just about holding its own as it was highly competitive ]

I wouldn't read anything into it. Probably just a glitch on the site that stops it displaying the name properly. The sky sports score centre has the same problem with Paul Crook (Rochdale half back). He appears as a blank in the team lineup and when he scores just the time of the score is shown with no name before it.

As headhunter said Oxford were admitted last (after Northampton withdrew) and so chose not to enter the NRC to give them more time to assemble a squad and get up to speed before having to play their first competitive games. By not entering that they get an extra month of pre-season. South Wales Scorpions did the same when they formed a couple of years ago and IIRC they didn't enter the Challenge Cup in their first year either for the same reason. They are still going. Oxford will probably be the best starters of the three new clubs due to picking up a fair chunk of Oldham's 2012 squad.

The team with no name were 'outed' on the BBC text service and their website without hinderance

Oxford played halifax Under 20's on sunday at brighouse as a season friendly to help them out, They were also invited to see who they will be playing in the challenge cup as they drew Halifax. It will obviously take them time but good luck to them.

They must be well and truly gutted making their first ever final
