Checkafraud Trophy - Attendance / Results watch

[Richard Cranium]

Don't you remember those "other non league cups"?

AGM cup was my favourite

 

[Hamez]

I liked the Setanta Shield. Proper non league shite.

 

[mowgli]

Wycombe v Coventry - 912 fans with believe it or not 257 Coventry

 

[Richard Cranium]

Carlisle away, Not sure the 357 'never miss a game' brigade will be at that one.

 

[AdamStag]

Haha, Carlisle away on a tuesday is as appealing as a root canal.

That said, i'm going up for the game in a few weeks, not been since the year they went down to the conference (2003?) so quite looking forward to that

 

[LongEatonPie]

633 at Sunderland last night and a supporter said there were less than 30 Notts fans present.
We're out now - thank gowd!

 

[Casey]

495 fans at Southampton last night. 121 from Crawley.

We took 5-600 to Portsmouth earlier this season and this was a new ground for us so...

Casey

 

[mowgli]

Millwall away for us next so we should hopefully get knocked out.

 

[MrGloverLover]

MK Dons at home for us next, at last Ed Upson gets to come home!

 

[Si Robin]

Leicester U23s at home - stand by for 1500 idiots hoping to see Mahrez and Vardy...

 

[shoddycollins]

So here's the draw

Wolves U21 v Sunderland U21
Bradford v Cambridge
Cheltenham v Leicester U21
Carlisle v Mansfield
Rochdale v Chesterfield
Scunthorpe v Morecambe
Walsall v Oldham
Doncaster v Blackpool
Yeovil v Mucky Dons
Wimbledon v Brighton U21
Coventry v Crawley
Swindon v Luton
Southampton U21 v Reading U21
Norwich U21 v Swansea U21
Southend v Oxford
Millwall v Wycombe

Most of the U21 sides, including Chelsea and Everton bow out, but I'm sure they do with the three games they each played having secured the next world cup for England, such is the importance of the experience gained in those 270 minutes of football.

There are three ties which feature U21 teams playing each other, so those games are probably guaranteed very low attendances. Only 547 people turned up to see Wolves U21s play Stanley. I imagine that's partly friends and family of the players and the remainder just curious Wolves fans, as Wolves normally play their academy fixtures in Telford so perhaps their an additional draw to the youths playing a competitive fixture at Molineux alongside one or two first team players. I don't think they really care who the opposition are though so I imagine the same 500-ish people will turn up to see them playing Sunderland U21.

I think Coventry v Crawley will have the lowest attendance personally. The home fans are disgruntled and many of them are staying away for league games, I'd be surprised if Crawley take more than 20.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Gillingham FC

✔@TheGillsFC
CLUB: Last night's attendance at The Hawthorns for our @CheckatradeTrpy game against @WBA has been confirmed as 284 (nine away fans approx).

Can they not count to nine?

Well, the figure of nine actually includes the official photographer and the official club Twitter geezer.
So really, the figure is SEVEN.

Beat that you plastic boycotters!!!

Can't see us taking more than 10 to you guys

 

[shoddycollins]

It would be an opportunity to make a statement. Our local rag is very pro-boycott and would have a field day if Mansfield brought more players than fans to a game, especially if this was in stark contrast to a league game just a few days before/after.

Thinking about it, Fleetwood last night brought a squad of 16 players, when you then add the manager, assistant manager, coaches, physio, kit man and club officials that clubs will bring with them, there would definitely have been more Fleetwood staff than the 22 Fleetwood fans in the stadium last night. But then it is Fleetwood, a proper club like Mansfield doing that would be a bit different.

 

[Richard Cranium]

We might bring 20 to the league match

 

[Laker]

To the devil with the lot of them!

Crawley are playing Southampton tonight, Wednesday. Direct train link. Big Premier league club I reckon I may be embarrassed by the amount of Crawley fans who turn up.

Casey

We had 666 at both our home games. Make of that what you will. ;-)

 

[Habbinalan]

Record low at the time, 693 for Middlesborough kids.

New record low, 666 for Scunthorpe.

Pleased with the opportunity and reported performance of our 3 youngsters - Matthew Foy (Striker), Harry Darling (CH) and Leon Davies (RB).

Ah yes, let me correct myself. 666 home fans v Boro kids, 666 total attendance v Scunthorpe.

Well you'll bring at least twenty... I hope for your sakes. What's Mansfield's deal at the moment, you seem to have turned on Murray

 

[Kenneth E End]

Nice of Derek Adams to stick his nose in on other club's affairs:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37934696

Asking other teams to be fined... that's pretty low to be honest.

Frankly, they can do what they want. If they want to fine us, fine us. We'll just pay it. We can afford it and several times over. The EFL have to live with the consequences and the bad press.

Why should clubs, with a lot of history at these levels, be acting as a de facto pathway for players at PL clubs? Why can't our own young players be given equal opportunity?

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

What an absolute cock.
The best way to produce young English talent is not to ensure that Premier League teams have to have a structure to the first team, no, get them to play in front of 600 people away at somewhere like Hartlepool on a Tuesday night.
Yeah, that'll do it.
Farce of a competition, thought up by a bunch of muppets.

 

[Richard Cranium]

We'll never produce a Gazza or a Scholes again in England until Premier League clubs are stopped signing 15 year olds from France, Argentina, Africa etc. You've got a lad at Chelsea with almost 100 caps at different levels for England who's never put the fucking blue c*** shirt on. Just tell them to fuck off and form their own super league and be done with it.

I see Premier League clubs have alledgely given the Checkacunt trophy the green light and threatened to not give any money they drop down to the lower leagues from TV deals if we don't vote in favour. How very good of them.

I'd be embarrassed if I was a lower league fan who walks around in his Liverpool shirt to the pub on a Sunday to watch a 'second' team.

Fuck off and stick your B teams up Gemma Collins fucking backside.

 

[shoddycollins]

Farce of a competition, thought up by a bunch of muppets.

I'm pretty sure the whole plan was 'how can we think up something that might benefit the England team without asking the Premier League to do anything at all differently'

 

[Soup Ladle]

Anyone read this piece of shite? Can't work out if this is a fucking piss take or not

[Glasshalffullpools]

Have Blackpool entered their U23 team also ...... now we are at the 'exciting knock out stage ' ...how does 2 u23 teams playing each other help the lower league clubs ....surely the u23s should have been separated ....I can't help but think they haven't really thought this through

Where did you see that? Not doubting the intent - it's how the bastards forced EPPP through - but a source would be good.

I wondered if that was deliberate. Harvey is worried about 2 U23 teams playing the final in a sparsely populated Wembley. Or am I being too cynical?

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

If 2 u23 teams playing each other is good for the England team, why not organise an u23 tournament ?
