Checkatrade Trophy 2018/19 Thread

[Richard Cranium]

Sunderland, Pompey, Bristol Rovers and Bury. No offence to Bury but if they don’t make the final it’s going to be another 60k attendance at least.

 

[Buxton Vale]

3-0 I think we are done with this competion

 

[Buxton Vale]

ner though
More interested in Yeovil and Grimsby losing , Grimsby suddenly playing turd and far from safe

yes its not a total loss for us tonight.

Sunderland, Pompey, Bristol Rovers and Bury. No offence to Bury but if they don’t make the final it’s going to be another 60k attendance at least.

I don't know, I reckon this might be the game where all of our fans come out of the woodwork.

We are the new Lincoln!!

 

[valefan16]

Not too fussed about the result but a missed opportunity and really annoyed at the way we collapsed after the red card which was stupid in itself.

Always tough with the players missing tonight some like Legge and Whitfield by choice which I don’t get if I’m honest.

Been a fun ride though beating the lardies kids and made Smurf some dosh along the way.

Smith superb tonight, Brown blameless the rest very below par, annoyingly in a game against a side that wasn’t that much kop.
Haven’t done themselves justice but rather that performance tonight than Saturday I guess!

Worried a bit by the goals we’ve started conceding lately, 4 v Oldham, 3 v Colchester and tonight 2 v Morecambe and Cheltenham after being fairly solid at the back most of the season.

Need to sort that out.

 

[Gladders]

Glad all over, been nice earner for our fat owner though

We played turd against you and the two games prior to that so its hardly sudden, just in those games we were playing even worse sides

Maybe notlob will come to "support" us?

 

[T.A]

People get banned for saying less than that

Just think of the fun, I have rarely seen Shagger fans as up for a game as FGR and OK there will be 3 less now for the Lincoln game but come on

 

[T.A]

Bury v Pompey
Bristol Rovers v Sunderland

Both on TV too which is a nice bonus.

 

[Luke Imp]

As team locations go, you couldn't have got them much further apart could you?

 

[T.A]

The 4 best teams from each corner of the country

 

[Buxton Vale]

it'll be a Pompey v Sunderland final with a big crowd. Just what we didn't want.

 

[Agombar stool]

3 of the remaining teams have big supports and would take 25k+ each to the final. Fuxache!

 

[Waluigi]

it'll be a Pompey v Sunderland final with a big crowd. Just what we didn't want.

Worst thing is Harvey and the EFL know that 40,000 Sunderland fans at Wembley isn't an endorsement of the competition or B teams, but they will claim it is!

 

[denzel ecfc]

Well I'm really shocked that Pompey and Sland have been kept apart. Warm balls anyone?

 

[MonkeyDust]

Kind of makes it all seem even more pointless to get knocked out in the semi, but at least we win the tinpot award of being the last league 2 team left.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Kind of makes it all seem even more pointless to get knocked out in the semi, but at least we win the tinpot award of being the last league 2 team left.

And for doing so you get a 20pt deduction for endorsing the competition.

We boycotted this expertly.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Portsmouth first into the final then, That’s at least 35k going. Sunderland next for another 35k odd or whatever allocation you get and it will be a lovely proud send off for the outgoing bellend Harvey.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

It’ll be more than the league cup final and legitimise the tournament.

At least no League Two clubs would take their largest ever following to it right... right?

 

[Vanni]

I blame the Lincoln fans.

 

[darren gregory]

You couldn't make it up could you.
If it is Sunderland then that is the two biggest supported clubs in the final.
I'm not counting Bradford with their 50 pence season tickets.

Unfortunately just what the doctor didn't order.
As others above said you looking at 60 k minimum gate.

 

[valefan16]

Rovers will probably take massive numbers too so either way it could be a huge turn out.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

I blame the Lincoln fans.

Please do- most others do.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Good item on BBC Points West tonight saying that many Rovers fans were boycotting. Though it still looks like they might be close to a sell out.
Hope they get through and boycott the final..

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Fantastic boycott that, getting their biggest gate of the season.

 

[GEORGE]

Fantastic boycott that, getting their biggest gate of the season.

Gate was only 6500 + That included 1800 Sunderland fans.So yes the Gas fans did boycott.

Fair, read in places it was going to be a lot higher.

 

[darren gregory]

Both sides have been allocated 39'000 tickets

 

[Crewelad87]

The mighty Liverpool (u23) and Manchester Utd (u23) are joining us next season. I can barely contain my excitement.
