Checkatrade Trophy 2017/18

[pork pie fox]

Big news of the day is clearly the draw for the Checkatrade Trophy.

It's a great draw for Jeff, as we are drawn into a group with Carlisle, Fleetwood and Morecambe.

I'm sure there will be a big demand for tickets, so make sure you get them early, to avoid disappointment

Aren't proper supporters supposed to be boycotting this stupid competition?

Might be worth getting a membership now.

No idea. But, despite not knowing you, when I saw the draw, I immediately thought of you. I will admit to being a bit worried about that, though.

You're an improper supporter.

No

No

How's that work then?

 

[Borderfox]

Cause we are supposedly better than the opposition.

None of the academy sides have home ties.

Ah, it's competition rules. That's an interesting twist. Seems like a good idea though.

Can believe that - but can't say I paid a great deal of interest last year. Did anyone, really?

 

[jb5000]

It's one of the changes made this year, has actually encouraged more academy sides to enter - perhaps this competition isn't quite the failure some are painting it as

You're wrong to believe it. Academy clubs played their third round-robin 1st round tie at home last season. We lost to Walsall at the King Power last November.
