2017/18 Checkatrade Trophy thread

[Luke Imp]

Well, no, I wasn't there.

 

[Chris FGR]

Well, no, I wasn't there.

Yes you were.

 

[GTFCfish]

Yes, because an official Twitter account is going to tweet, 'Attendance 3026 (178) - Why the fuck have you all turned up when there's supposed to be a boycott of this stupid competition, you absolute bunch of grapes'.

Use your noggin', you numpty.

Had they tweeted that, they would've got a lot more respect for it.

Not like you to disagree with me anyway eh Luke........ ?

Bradford City played the song Ghost Town over the tannoy at the end of there match last night

 

[Andy Proctor]

Stoke and Man City still could qualify. By winning our ground we could have the disgraceful scenario of hosting the Lardies kids! Well I say that they generally play a few first teamers which makes the idea of it pointless!

Beriniho Adam Martin's indi affelay all playing for stoke under 23s tonight.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Beriniho Adam Martin's indi affelay all playing for stoke under 23s tonight.

And getting dicked 3-0. Good.
Charlie Adam would struggle to pass for 43 let alone 23.

Fucking ridiculous. Glad we got out of League 1 before this shit show.

 

[Davidimp]

Apparently Sunderland have 4 of the first team playing tonight....

There is their problem. Their first team are gash.

 

[Fishpimps <{{{><]

248 (7 away fans) at Blundell Park tonight, lowest attendance ever for 1st team game!

 

[PaulHaddock]

It’s apparently only 3 Sunderland fans, according to the club (it seems to be a happy family outing too).

197 Swindon fans at Bristol Rovers enjoying a bit of a romp

 

[Fishpimps <{{{><]

3!.......They might be imp fans, they like this cup?!!

 

[Laker]

I thought Lincoln's twitter was an embarrassment last year with a 12 year old running it, but this tweet from last night is the biggest embarrassment of the lot, why do they just not get it?

You should see ours. Derry reckons last night's defeat is the worst of his managerial career. God help us.

 

[shoddycollins]

909 at Brunton Park, 72 allegedly of those are Fleetwood. We lose 2-1 and go out of this competition. BBCRC are considering wrapping up the show early.

 

[shoddycollins]

Yup... Despite the live football show not being scheduled to end until 10pm, BBC Radio Cumbria have expressed their own feelings towards the competition and packed up and gone home.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Outstanding effort Grimsby, well done.

 

[les.gtfc]

Has there ever been a more pointless penalty shoot-out than the one at Blundell Park tonight?

 

[Gladders]

248 (7 away fans) at Blundell Park tonight, lowest attendance ever for 1st team game!

At least one team in Lincolnshire got the memo

We have now played 6 games in this pointless competition and lost them all with no fans showing up.

Fenty will still vote for it to continue!

 

[roversfan2001]

Well we're out of this farce at the first time of asking, hopefully we won't have to waste our time on it again (though if we go up our youth team will be back in).

[les.gtfc]

We changed our entire starting XI from Saturday too, so not sure if we'll be in trouble for that.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

You will be safe based on fact Harvey will want to remove that Grimsby game (attendance) from the checkatrade record books so efl probs won't acknowledge it happened.

Been some stunning crowds, they can claim crowds have risen, but crowds never got this desperate

My reaction to us going out of this tournament was 'meh'.

Mine was that I will be spared the agony of knowing there is a game going on down the road that I'm not at for another season at least. Though the money would have been nice and I was slightly hoping that we'd get the spectacle of a penalty shoot-out that determines nothing, had we drawn.

Probably related to somebody playing !

Mind you maybe watching the Under 23 is better than seeing the Sunderland 1st team!

 

[AndyPark]

3,026 at Sincil Bank, 178 from Notts County.

You have to remember that these Lincoln fans didn't know they existed until last season, don't be mean on them guys.

Scabs

 

[valefan16]

Scabs

A Vale fan actually called the fans who attended Tuesday scabs on the OVF forum... didn't go down to well!

 

[AdamStag]

We're away at Blackpool in the next round.

Can imagine that being a massive following lol
