EFL Trophy rules changed again....quietly!

[Indian Dan]

Apparently we've sold over 600 for our game at Chelsea tonight, which is about 599 too many. Everyone I speak to is dead against it, so i don't know who these people are and what planet they inhabit?

Mums and Dads being badgered by kids, I expect. Still shit, though.

Saying that, we've got 200 off to Exeter tonight!

 

[Strawberry_Jam]

There seems to be an arguement with Northampton fans between supporting your club and being against b/under'23' teams.
Their arguement seems to be based on going to a game to support your team has nothing to do with supporting Harvey.
We don't have the brightest of fans *facepalm*

someone has to tell me what 'excitement' there is in visiting a 40,000 ground with 800 people in it.

did they never have the darlo experience?

Massively disappointing to read that Eric.


When he says that Group games were never really that well attended, am I right in thinking there wasn't a Group stage before?

There wasn't, the bloke is just a moron.

 

[markpvfc]

There wasn't, the bloke is just a moron.

He works for Stoke, that is the main qualification for getting the job.

 

[Bobbin']

Just read that Millwall and Luton have both made 9 changes to their squads tonight, ignoring the rules of the competition.

Well done both.

 

[Mr Plow]

We've made eight changes for tonight's game at Stevenage.

 

[GFC4EVA]

Only about 150 people at the hawthorns for our game tonight



pretty sure tht could be the lowest attendance so far this season

 

[Bobbin']

548 at Colchester tonight, 147 of which are Charlton. What is wrong with these people?

 

[valefan16]

92 Vale at Doncaster, more than i expected but a lowest away following in a good few years.

 

[joethegill]

We're 2-0 up at WBA.

[PuB]

We're 2-0 up at WBA.

#seasonstartshere

Imagine the absolute SCENES in the away end

 

[joethegill]

Imagine the absolute SCENES in the away end

Bet it's bouncing!

 

[MarioBalotelli]

65 Rovers at Portsmouth

 

[joethegill]

Prediction of about 150 at WBA.

That's the whole crowd btw, not the away following.

 

[GFCSludge]

Gills are saying 9 (NINE) away fans.

 

[dannylad01]

Attendance of 308 at Middlesbrough v Shrewsbury for another dead rubber. Unofficially about 20 Salop fans.

 

[valefan16]

To confirm the pointlessness of the whole thing. Mansfields late winner at Derby means we go out after drawing... so let's have a penalty shoot out! Got to be a first to win a penalty shoot out and not progress!

 

[Hurrikeen]

417 at Ewood

[blademan89]

Well done all again. I don't think this competition can possibly continue next year

 

[AnotherSaddler]

547 at Leicester v Walsall, no idea of the away attendance

 

[joethegill]

They'll spin this. They'll point out that since the highest attendance of the night was at Chelsea, that's proof that this competition needs the under 21 sides. Also, I can see Norwich winning the whole thing, they've battered everyone so far. That would be another piece of 'evidence' they'd use to show it's been a success.

Dicks.

 

[AlexPVFC]

As was said on the previous page, what sort of genius comes up with the idea of.. we were knocked out after 90 minutes, so lets have a penalty shoot out anyway for an extra point, that makes absolutely no difference to the final table.

Glad we are out of it and hope 2 under 23 sides get to Wembley and it gets played in front of about 300.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Less than 150 people in a stadium that holds nearly 30,000 with NINE away fans.
Genuinely proud to be a Gills fan this morning (first time for a while).
Just a quick note to the nine that did go though - you should be ashamed of yourselves. I hope you feel dirty this morning.

Apparently that 9 includes the photographer, and the guy who does the twitter feed.

Bit harsh to have a go at them.

You other 7 are bastards though.

 

[GFCSludge]

According to Gills official Facebook page , attendance now confirmed as 284 with 9 away fans. Lovely picture on the link.

[THE LAST WALTZ]

I wonder if they did a 'Mexican Ripple'.

 

[darren gregory]

Stoke had 31 million yes 31 million worth of players playing, Bojan, Imbula, Crouch, Muniesa, Haugaard. Yet Glyn Hodges thinks it schools the kids in their squad !!

This is unreal. Thank fuck they finished bottom. We played three English teenage apprentices when we beat them whereas they were playing Charlie Adam. The guy's fucking delusional.
