2017/18 Checkatrade Trophy thread

[Kenneth E End]

Luton Reserves 0-0 Peterborough United
Peterborough United won 7-6 on penalties after 13 were converted in a row.

What's wrong with you lot?

Not sure but the £110k and counting so far will help the warchest. DC hoping to add two to the squad before Saturday's game against Counteh. Maybe 5-6 in total this January and by god we need some extra bodies in.

Crowley showing just how morally corrupt he is once again.

 

[BelizeHatter]

We don't have a reserves. We have match changers.

I had some time to kill and watched most of it. Not a bad game. Good defensive display got a couple of good ones coming through in Senior and Famewo. Also of note was iFollow doing their own live commentary, multiple camera angles and replays!! I presume as a trial to add to the regular service soon - no doubt hiking the prices - although I'll badly miss our local commentator.

Just really need Oxford out now and the final is going to have a pretty crap attendance......even Lincoln and thier ridiculous hype for this won't take much that will cause a great deal of hype.

a shame the brilliant for bad news Fleetwood vs FGR final now cannot happen.

Fleetwood Vs Chelsea youth would be good one for maybe having 5,000 in Wembley.

I'm actually relieved we only took 400 in the end. As of a couple of weeks ago we had sold 300 tickets in advance so I was expecting over 600 to be honest.

Still worrying mind. I mean, who buys a ticket for a Checkatrade game?

3rd Cup QF in 10 months.

The only disappointment from last night was Bostwick seemingly getting rid of his beard, which is a tad disappointing.

Utterly disgusting.

Lincoln are a disgrace.

Who?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Worried Lincoln will get to the final and take thousands here. That’s the last thing we need. Want a Wembley final with under 10k there

Everything's still big for them though I suppose.

Our game is moved again though, maybe they're running scared

 

[PaulHaddock]

Who?

Your manager.

 

[Davidimp]

Your manager.

Cowley not Crowley....

 

[Camborne Gills]

So Lincoln took more than half as many as the entire crowd at Bury

Cowley not Crowley....

Pretty sure Paul Haddock calls him that on purpose just to annoy you but I could be wrong.

 

[Forza Imps]

Having nightmares about getting to a Wembley final for the first time in our history, and losing to an expensively assembled Chelsea B team that doesn't give a shit.

 

[Luke Imp]

For anyone who's interested.

Lincoln City v Peterborough United
Shrewsbury Town v Oldham Athletic or Leicester City Under-21
Chelsea Under-21 v Oxford United
Yeovil Town v Fleetwood Town

 

[Super_horns]

Bet Chelsea (Under 21s) get to the final!

 

[GTFCfish]

Yeovil Town v Fleetwood Town

Wonder if that one will also be £35 a ticket?

 

[Davidimp]

For anyone who's interested.

Lincoln City v Peterborough United
Shrewsbury Town v Oldham Athletic or Leicester City Under-21
Chelsea Under-21 v Oxford United
Yeovil Town v Fleetwood Town

Home draw happy with that.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

I don't remember wanting Peterborough to win a game before but if it stops Lincoln fucking this up for everyone else then I'm all for it. Mugs.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Yet another home draw, very happy with that. It is only 3 days before the Man Utd game though so we'll need to use our whole squad

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Queues already forming at Sincil Bank for tickets for the Posh game...

[PaulHaddock]

That’s almost laughable. Actually, it is.

 

[Forza Imps]

Do enjoy the stick we are getting on here for a bunch of old blokes and kids enjoying a cup run.

If you make it to the final, how many do you think you’d take?

Hard to say - there are still a few who say they wouldn't go but we're one of the few (or are we the only one?) League teams never to have played at Wembley and with the interest in the club at the moment it could be 25,000.
