Must be strange your team playing a game against u23 team . Fair shout to fans across the country for boycotting it . 1400 in attendance not much of a boycott. 

Oh, I think the boycott has worked and a good thing too...

461 at Wimbledon
392 at Fleetwood
950 at Chesterfield

These are paltry attendances and send out a strong message - hopefully the EFL will have a long, hard think before they further try to wreck the integrity of the pyramid.

EDIT: Swansea's starting XI had squad numbers which added up to 340 more than the total attendance for their game at Wimbledon.

That`s probably what would have turned out for a JPT 1st round game anyway. We would have only got about 3k.

Ye agree . Is a very strange competition this year . Imagine reading u23 v Swansea u23 at Wembley. Ridiculous. Could be us next season. Imagine that Bristol city u23s v Bristol rovers . I don't think that would even be funny. Would it

When the lights went out v Liverpool, we charged their fans a smaller amount for the replay, what was the cost? I can't remember...

Cost of reduced tickets was a little less than they paid the bloke to throw the big bundle of copper wire towards the transformer...

Sorry if I'm being a numpty but what in god's name is the checkatrade trophy?

Sounds less appealing than the Downs League.

Whatever the competition Oldham and Carlisle put on a show tonight. Carlisle were 1-0 down, 3-1 up, 4-3 down and finally won it 4-5 with 10 men!

What an absolute pile of festering nonsense...

Leicester City win 5-4 on penalties to secure an extra point #twitterblades

Christ, I didn't realise they were messing with the format like this as well. Shame on anyone who attended, this needs to be stopped this season.

Seems the BBC website don't realise this rule is in place as they have made no mention of it on their results page. Does look like an American invention.....
