Only 1644 for Crewe aswell expected more.

If you shift them quick enough you will get another 500 behind the goal.

Full allocation according to our OS.

We always give behind the goal aswell if demand is there for it. The only times teams have sold out and they've not had it, is if they sell out a few days before the game as by that point we will have sold tickets in that stand. If you shift the 1600 pretty quick I'd be very surprised if you didn't get behind the goal. Bradford and Stockport had it last season.

Always wondered if that would be an option.

Given it’s holiday season i think the 1650 or whatever it is will be enough. £27 though is crazy, that away end isn’t even upto much.

That said we all charge that amount, there should be a point where £20 is plenty.

That is true you always see some below par attendances in August which I forgot about.

I think with Crewe and Grimsby in august, Donny is going to take a big hit on the Tuesday, I’m debating if I can be bothered myself.

It’s time for the EFL to price limit away ticket prices.

Be interesting if we sold a full allocation for the trophy game at your place as its only down the road and not played you for what seems like forever...

Wouldn't mind going to both league and cup games in fairness.

It’s a shame that tranmere and doncaster are on tuesday nights when the likes of sutton, gillingham and newport are saturdays. it’s stupidity.

There’s always a good 3,000 or so to doncaster on a saturday - and you’re right. maybe only 1500 or so for the tuesday game

They try to give you more local games on a Tuesday night, but yeah pisses me off too as you miss some local weekend days out and fewer people can go

We have a varied selection of midweek aways this season - Sutton, Swindon, Crewe and Wimbledon. Couple of local ones, plus two which certainly aren't. Crewe also have the honour of visiting us for the traditionally local game on Good Friday this year, so not so sure the fixture computer is that fussed about locality for certain games/times of year anymore!

Id rather the far away games be the tuesday night ones, not many will go either way. So say we took 300 to you on a saturday (hypothetically) it might be 150 on a tuesday, whereas a local game could see a thousand or so off the following - costing clubs potentially thousands.

Completely agree, and when you’re out of the way in a corner of the country like us the more ‘local’ games are as rare as hens teeth

You've been away for a while Wrexham fans, so you'll get a pass on this comment this time but expressing any interest in the trophy is an immediate infringement of tinpottery rules. Any self respecting L2 fan boycotts this competition now and you'll get berated and laughed at if you take anything closely resembling a large following to these games. You need to bow out as soon as possible, preferably before the third group game to allow the big L1 teams and the likes of Sutton and Salford who really care about it the chance of a trip to Wembley.

Beat me to it. Anyone who goes to any Pizza Trophy games is a scab and a scoundrel. Cute that this EFL thing is such a novelty to them though

To be fair, last time they were here it was called the Associate Members Cup and wasn't tarnished with controversy.

 

[EnglishRed]

Shaun Harvey will make us all go.

For me fans that go to those games aren’t fans.

Or they’re simple.

 

[Indian Dan]

There’s a chance we may open the bank this season for a couple of clubs. Nobody needed over the 900 in the covered section. Last time a decent number turned up was Exeter over the Xmas period when we won L2 a couple of years back - the Covid season.

 

[AdamStag]

We need to increase ours, 1700 isn’t seemingly enough especially being central.

Our biggest issue with how things are going is the home section. 1700 is fine for this level.

haha, I mean i'm not that interested in going, but as it's down the road I could be tempted. Let me learn the hard way of the rules of the fans for games in the tinpot pizza trophy thing.

Last time we were in it, hell I can't even remember what it was called (we won the last LDV titled trophy in 2005 before renaming to something else...)

I reckon it was probably the Johnstone's Paint Trophy last time you were in it?

Just googled it, yes it was the Johnstone's Paint Trophy! Blimey, I can't even remember. My lad wants to join in doing all the grounds, think we'd stand more chance of getting tickets for crewe in the trophy than the league game. Derby, last away game of the season and if we are up there, there will be a mad rush for tickets and a FOMO.

 

[Master D]

As tinpot as it is, I reckon attendances will be high for it as those games are the only ones that a lot will be able to get tickets for easily.

 

[Conker]

Do not under any circumstances go any Pizza cup games until the u21 are gone.

 

[Indian Dan]

We’re away at Reading for the first time in 20+ years. I’m afraid we’ll take a fair few there.

Same with our game against Derby annoyingly.

I can see Port Vale bringing a fair few too, mostly looking for fights

 

[Crewelad87]

There not stupid, manufacturing these local rivalry games in an attempt to get larger gates. Annoyingly it will probably work in our group with ourselves, Vale and Wrexham in same group. I don't think we will take more than 3-400 to Vale luckily, we've been in the same group as them before in this competition and only a couple hundred went.

Did strike me that we'd get 2 relatively close games, plus an under-21 team from the NE. Does this trophy have regionalized regions like teams in the NW play against NW and NE play NE or as close to that as possible?
