EFL Trophy 2018-19 Group Stage

[nelsonpfc]

Made 10 changes from the last league game. Still could include the likes of Brett Pitman, Nathan Thompson, David Wheeler, Joe Mason, Andrew Green and Luke McGee. Our squad is alot bigger in terms of quality replacements than last year.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Isn't Luke McGee the best keeper in L1?

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

I wont be going as I have boycotted this competition but noticed we released the prices for our game against MK Dons in this today. 18 quid for adults. Previous games have been a fiver for adults and a pound for everyone else.

Cant help but think we are making a bit of a point with that one!

I think that's very much the case - it's genius. Make the ticket prices so high, so it puts people off, advertise it as half the price on iFollow, put on more stewards so we make a loss on the game and don't pay out anything to the Franchise.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

We are playing our game against the Spurs kids at the Valley due to our pitch being relaid.
It's £15 a ticket.
Wouldn't be surprised if we fail to make three figures.
Anyone going to this seriously needs their bumps felt.

Giving Duchatelet some dosh will make you popular with the Addicks fans. Couldn't you have hired Gravesend & Northfleet for the night? Actually, Chatham Town would probably be big enough for a checkafraud game.

There's nowhere to park your caravans

My van is staying where it is my special one.
If this was played in my back garden I would close the curtains.
I assume you lot are charging a flat fee for the rent of your place.
Duchalet wouldn’t be stupid enough to take a cut of the gate receipts, would he?

 

[Bobbin']

Oh, yes.

 

[Kenneth E End]

It is Luton Town v tonight.

No one is going, everyone is watching it on iFollow and no programme will be produced.

Happy days.

We've sold 54 tickets for our 'home' tie with the Spurs kids being played at the Valley.

Why you playing it there?

 

[GFC4EVA]

Why you playing it there?

Our pitch is being replaced so we can't play it at priestfield

 

[Pablosammy]

Did you forget to do it in the close season?!

 

[PuB]

Did you forget to do it in the close season?!

Apparently so. Yes.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

I think Scally was rather hoping to avoid the reported £400,000 cost!!

 

[Bobbin']

Couldn’t care less about this competition but just seen we’re beating Stevenage 7-0 so feel like that needs bragging about.

What’s the fucking point. They might as well have played it in Charlton Park, they would have had more dog walkers stop and watch.

I doubt even dog walkers would stop

 

[Fedora Dale]

Won 2-0 at Fleetwood to book a place in the next round with a game to spare

 

[Kenneth E End]

875 at Kenilworth Road to watch Luton beat another team 3-0. 202 of which (tickets sold out) were watching from the oak road end.

8-0 and our highest ever win in a ‘competitive’ game.

Actually really disappointing that this joke competition is now apart of our history.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

We lost 3-0 at home to Swindon and fielded what looked like a stronger team than the one we fielded against Wimbledon on Saturday.

 

[Loyal Dale]

I must be one of the only people who enjoys this competition.

We usually field a team with as many Youth team players as allowed, and they always do us proud, showing real commitment and passion.

It's a return to the old days of No Fear football, and it generally more entertaining than a L1 fixture.

Erm, yeah.

Fuck off.

 

[Loyal Dale]

Erm, yeah.

Fuck off.

Thanks for your well thought out reposte. You must be very proud of yourself.

 

[Gassy]

Tbh, this competition is quite useful this year for us.

We're so bad in the league that it gives us the opportunity to get some form & confidence back

 

[Bobbin']

I must be one of the only people who enjoys this competition.

Let’s hope so.

There are plenty of ways for clubs to play their youngsters and let them get a run out that doesn’t involve the infiltration of PL clubs development squads.

The old format of this tournament, for example.

Rochdale fans that.
