This. Although I do wish people would support the non-B team games a little more (albeit the Port Vale game was probably one of the highest crowds on that front)

I'm the opposite.
If the whole comp was boycotted, there might be a change of plan.

Marine v Atherton Colls in the FA Cup for me

Doesn’t that justify the existence of B teams more though? 
 

Id never tell anyone not to go to a wanderers game but as a few have mentioned I’ll not be watching even if they came and played in the field near my house. They won’t go away with this B agenda. A club folds during the season and I think that will be the inroad 

Traf beat me too it.

I think we have to play six who started Saturday?

Hang on so we have to play 6 who started in a league game against U21’s who haven’t 

That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard.

I was just thinking it would make the comparison a bit more stark if we got 4,000 against Vale and 400 against Liverpool U21s, particularly as the U21s have been in it for a few years now and the general boycott doesn’t seem to be making much difference on that front.

Yep, that's what I was alluding to further up. A double whammy for those with smaller squads.

Might be players in the previous matchday squad, not sure exactly, but there are some rules to that effect.

Why have our games been at home 

This would have been so much better at anfield obviously which in turn would have gave us more of a incentive

2 homes and 1 away, I think

Isn't Rochdale away?

U21s don't play any home games in this cup, even in the knockout stages.  Presume some games would potentially clash with Prem 1st team fixtures so not likely to commit to using the stadium for these joke games.
