Home to Accrington. We've already sold out.

We have them twice in 10 days.

nail, head, hit

Shrewsbury at home is our reward. Hard to say if a good or bad draw as both sides will likely field much changed sides!

 

[shoddycollins]

Our reward is a week off we win.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Christ!! They have actually made this piss pot trophy even more tinpot with the draw for the last 32.

We are hosting Oxford in front of a 1500 crowd. Deep joy.

 

[Indian Dan]

1500? Deep shame.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Based on the 1039 we got against Reading u-12s, which I agree was about 1000 too many.

1500 would be excessive, but entirely possible, as it is the only thing we have half a chance of doing well in.

At least we aren't in Lincoln territory (yet)

 

[GTFCfish]

Who did we get?

 

[shoddycollins]

Who did we get?

A week off, like us. Congratulations.

 

[GTFCfish]

A week off, like us. Congratulations.

Our midfield and forwards have had the last month off anyway, they don't need any more!

So West Ham are through and we're out so what's the point in playing the game as no bugger will turn up? Any Wycombe fan that does needs shooting.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Anyone thats turned up since August 2016 needs shooting.

What's the point in playing it???????

It's VITAL in deciding the finishing positions in the group, and therefore who we play in the next round.

At the moment it looks like Swindon, but could be Wet Sham if you get the right result against them.

Not that I care though.

You and me both mate..

Definite sell out as it will be a celebration of the club being formed one year before if it's played on December 5th....

Our game with Blackpool has been moved to the Wednesday with a 7pm kick off.

Can’t see many going to this, might be even less than the official 41 who went to Carlisle last season, even though someone told me that figure included 10 stewards who were ‘looking after’ the Stags fans.

Why 7?

Anyone who thought of going from Mansfield after work now can't make it.

Perhaps Evans wanted 45 minutes extra recovery time before Saturday’s match at Crawley.

That's good then, stop the scabs from going.

Same for us. Probably be the Ammers kids at home, but could still be a trip to Swindon for a MASSIVE local derby.

Wycombe will have 3 clubs watching their "pointless" game INTENTLY with SO MUCH riding on it.

 

[AdamStag]

Lol, what?

 

[Conker]

Did somebody just say the S word

 

[BeesKnees]

We won a game. Wooo!!

 

[Camborne Gills]

All well and good, but you don't have to bother with this shithouse piss pot trophy any more!!!

 

[mowgli]

We were already out but still 699 turned up with 199 away fans,those 500 Wycombe fans should be ashamed the sad bastards!

Your win means we get to play Swindon at an empty County Ground instead of West Ham kids at an empty TNL. Woohoo.

I think I genuinely preferred the FA Trophy to this, even after the BELT's devalued it. At least some teams still cared enough to make it worthwile,

Well done to the FA and EFL for completely ruining the only winnable cup competition for lower league sides.

 

[Casey]

435 brave souls turned up to watch Crawley lose 1-3 against Fulham u23s

Oh, we were already out and I think Fulham were already through. High intensity game.

Looking at the side we put out we might be in trouble for not fielding at least six (?) From Saturday's team.

[CFC91]

We beat Man City kids in front of 1282, meaning we have to go to Fleetwood next week. Will be the lowest away following in my life time, easily and rightly so. What a pathetic competition, as we have 6 days notice for a game.

 

[GTFCfish]

Part of that embarrassment of a fans forum last night included Fenty trying to justify this pathetic competition by saying attendances were rising at other clubs (fixed local derbies sure do help that) and that our attendance v Sunderland U21's was only low as it was a dead rubber.
What fucking planet is that absolute clown living on ffs?

 

[Buxton Vale]

Tonights attendance is 965 at Vale Park with 117 from Shrewsbury.
