My mistake. Did not advertise that very well, well not well enough for me to find, not that I would take advantage of it. 😀 |

The club did vote against this disgraceful format in all fairness. I won't attend one of these games. We are a proud club with a long history. Aside from the Fenty years, we have generally been a respected club. We should never play against B teams, it's an insult.

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.

The club did eventually under duress and following fan, trust and general pressure and after sneakily voting without full consultation in the first place , vote against this disgraceful format in all fairness. I won't attend one of these games. We are a proud club with a long history. Aside from the Fenty years, we have generally been a respected club. We should never play against B teams, it's an insult.

Especially a club that were heavily in debt, didn’t attempt to pay anything like, opened up with a new stadium and carried on as if nothing had happened. Bitter? Yes. Must let it go. 😎 |

A fitting tribute could be to rename the competition the "Harrington Street Cup".... mind you they'd have trouble polishing the trophy |

Now if this doesn't get post of the week, this board should be closed down! (I meant the second part Harrington St residents.) |

Those 22 can't have been proper Leicester supporters can they? Given their 1st team was also playing tonight and a lot closer to home. Must have been parents of those playing tonight, sneaked on the bus... |

This must be a record for a ‘competitive’, and I use that term very loosely, game at Blundell Park, surely? A brilliantly shít attendance, if ever such a thing existed. |

Think there was less than 250 for a similar ' match' last season so a near 40% improvement will surely be hailed by the club as a massive step forward in the fight against us bullies |

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.

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. |

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. |
