Newton White Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 I work in manchester and would have to get home (which isnt in Bolton as you can tell by my handle) then drive to the game with my son. Not happening for 7pm I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted October 10, 2019 9000 managed it against Bradford. I won't be bothering this time though. Last match was about welcoming hill etc and showing thanks for having a club. However the competition is wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Bradford game was a one off for the competition never mind our usual standards. City U21 game can fuck off though. B team boycott and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I wouldn't go if it was free irrespective of KO time. No lower league supporter should attend any games in this competition involving a PL U-21 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a lower league competition and is their opportunity to get to Wembley. Bloody ridiculous idea to have these in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs get criticised for weakened teams in bigger cups, and when you have small squads, extra games are a bit of a drain on resources.

Bury went this year. If 2 or 3 go in one season it will be put forward as the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrotter Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 We got people moaning about 19:00 and people moaning about 20:00 kick offs. The future is obviously some form of AI football where we all sit at home and watch it at precisely the time we individually want to. What happened to bunking off work a bit early becuse you've got a match to go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlington Trotter Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I would have no problem with the competition if it wasn't for these u21 teams. It's an insult to have to play them. Is there still that daft rule where Football League teams have to play a certain number of players that played in their last league match? Absolute bollocks.

I'd have no issue either. It's a long-standing comp for the lower leagues. And yes, I think 5 have to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a chance for L1/L2 clubs to get to Wembley. Cov City took 40,000 when they won the Johnstone's paint / LDV trophy recently - they've suffered like us in the past few years and actually had something to cheer, even with a Mickey mouse cup. I'd love that to happen for us, in any guise. Although, the u21 inclusion can fuck right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem was, when Semi-Finals are at Wembley rather than an acceptably large neutral ground (Stoke v Bolton could just as easily been at Old Trafford) the whole Wembley experience is diluted.
