Yeah, 248 v Sunderland yoof 2 years ago. They got to see Sean McAllister play though, so something to tell the grandkids about.

Even the four Town fans who came from Norway to see the Cheltenham game could not be arsed to  stay and watch this game even though they were offered free tickets and a fish and chip supper.

We should never play against B teams, it's an insult.


Too right - they keep beating us, it's embarrassing.

And if allowed in the leagues they’ll field stronger teams and still beat our first 11. That’s why they should NEVER EVER be allowed in.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Absolute shambles of a competition.

The more they try and justify its existence, and the more they cheapen it, the worse it gets.

They could give free tickets to everyone and I still wouldn't go. I wonder how our first team players feel about playing against another club's kids team. It must be degrading for them, too.

Abolish this competition. It adds absolutely nothing. I know we won it in 98, and made the final in 08, but honestly I'd be delighted if they consigned it to the bin.

Absolute dog turd.


Probably it the same as they do any other cup competition, or even a reserve team fixture.  Whilst we've put strong teams out at various points of this competition, it's never been our first team at that moment in time.  It's just a glorified reserve cup now.

With regards season ticket holders going free.  Bit odd that the club have only done it for the final fixture of the group.   My understanding is that the EFL will write off any losses incurred for these fixtures.  So if it costs us £20k to put a fixture on and we only take £3k on the evening, a cheque for £17k will be coming our way.  In that case I'd just make it free entry across the board.  That could, of course, increase the gate which isn't what we want as the EFL would take that as justification for the format. Just find it odd that clubs aren't doing this.

Or give loads of stewards some easy overtime!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
