Their league attendances are only four figures anyway so it isn’t much of a boycott. More broadly, it’s plain to see this EFL Trophy boycott hasn’t worked - crowds were always tiny up until the final unless there was a derby pairing and in the U21 participation era we saw a record crowd for the final in Pompey v Sunderland (Take note, Gastards, two teams who know how to fill Wembley). I’m just glad we won it three times before it turned into this travesty of a competition and hoping against hope we don’t become eligible for it again any time soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Did this match actually happen? There’s no mention of it in the paper version of the Post, just headlines about what great attacking quality Rovers has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that I thought was odd on slag chat they were glad that they were out because of the U21 involvement, but those sides are long out of the competition so the later rounds have been back to what it always was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redsi2 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) According to the Bristol Live article of 9th Jan which states Joey Barton cant 'bear' Plymouth and i quote Joey Barton has dismissed any suggestion he will use Tuesday's EFL Trophy quarter-final clash with South West rivals Plymouth Argyle to rest and rotate; the Bristol Rovers boss says this one is personal. Today the story is First-team coach Andy Mangan says Bristol Rovers did not want to risk injuries to their star players who went unused as substitutes as the Gas were knocked out in the EFL Trophy quarter-finals by Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday. Aaron Collins, Josh Coburn and Scott Sinclair were sat in a dugout packed with quality throughout as Argyle won 2-0 in difficult conditions in BS7, with Ben Waine and Ryan Hardie punishing some lax defending in the first half. Firstly what changed and is it factually correct that the Rovers bench is packed with quality!!

Well for a quarter final the crowds at the Mem, certainly did the club justice. 3,742 with 678 away fans (from their official site). How any gas head can make comment on us getting 12k last Sunday is beyond me. Just over 3k of their own fans turned up..... the mind boggles.

I hope you're not looking for them to supply any common sense or intelligent thought. You may have to wait a while. Criticising a crowd size that you haven't got near for years, is a very gAss thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only 3742 but still plenty more than previous games in the competition. I'll believe that one or two of the Blue Few posters on here would boycott right through, but we all know the majority were getting proper little stiffies about the prospect of a trip to "Wembly". Well chuffed they lost... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wanting to defend those North of the river I am led to believe that the team selection was drastically changed (by both sides) after the heavy rain during the day and the poor forecast for the evening made the pitch so heavy that neither side wanted to risk certain first choice players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey was seriously planning on making the players change their boots at half time against Plymuff, but didn’t have enough money to buy a pair of these for the whole team, so didn’t bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
