November 13, 20196 yr That's my understanding Dr Faustus. Newcastle have played in front of 1,000 at St James, Middlesbrough in front of under 500 at Riverside, Chelsea have played at Stamford Bridge
November 13, 20196 yr So did I. But I also read/heard that those U-21's couldn't be at home v an EFL team in the knockout phase. I don't understand the point/concept of this thing.
November 13, 20196 yr Efl will allow then to do as they please. Despite being kids teams they will still carry the big club mentality

The annoying thing would be if (big if) we got to Wembley and played an academy side. A huge part of any cup final is the camaraderie or even animosity if its against a 'rival'. You win, you rub it in with the usual songs and have a bit of banter even if its on line. You lose and take the stick that goes with it. That cant happen against a team that literally has no fans. Its piss poor.

Hopefully two u23 sides will get to the final so the EFL realise what a stupid set up it is
