I mean I imagine it'll be because of the breakdown in where U21 sides and League Two sides are.
From the U21 sides; Arsenal - Brighton - Chelsea - Crystal Palace - Fulham - Leicester - Spurs - West Ham - Wolves - Aston Villa are all in locations further South than Nottingham, but only eight of those sides can be in the Southern Draw.
Looking at the League 2 map for next season, and Notts County are the 10th most Southern team
The dates for all three of the Addicks' 2024/25 Bristol Street Motors Trophy group stage fixtures have been confirmed.
Charlton will begin their southern Group C campaign with a trip to Cambridge United's Cledara Abbey Stadium on Tuesday, September 17th (KO 7pm BST).
Chelsea U21s, who are one of 16 Category One academies invited to enter a team into this season's competition, will visit The Valley on Tuesday, October 29th (KO 7pm GMT).
The Addicks then finish the group stage with a home tie against Bromley on Tuesday, November 12th (KO 7pm GMT).
No longer behind the goal at Cambridge, we'll now be on the side of the pitch. This is the new seating area they're installing for visiting fans. Good luck to anyone hoping to find an unrestricted view seat.

Draw for that will be 2:30pm on Sky on Thursday.If it branched out and included teams from Scottish Champ/L1 and L2. Would at least give it some novelty factor.
