Shame its such a silly competition FA cup or League Cup game would have been a good day out! Wonder how many we will take?

AFC Wimbledon Away in Checkatrade Trophy
- Thread starter Seagull Mags
- Start date
We're lucky to be in it as it was traditionally league one and two clubs!!! Suspect there might be about 10, plus the backroom staff and the team itself. It is, after all, just a reserve team game.

Such a shame as I would love to go and see AFC. However I simply cannot bring myself to care or support this competition

I wouldn't go if it was in my back garden. We should not be in this competition.

Is the Robert Peel pub still open ? Loved the strippers pre match v Kingstonian in the Fa cup about 20 years ago !!

Sunderland travel to Wolves. Will the gate money cover the petrol/hotel costs? Shirley it will be 20 players & personal and an overnight stay.
Will Wimbledon get a few more because it's us I wonder. Would like to think the home fans regard us as a big scalp.

Good article on this ridiculous experiment of a competition.
It'll be a real "f**k you" to fans if it gets another run out next season.

Not seen such Bravery!
More like 3rd XI than reserve team.
Get through this round and it is no longer regional, so we could get a trip to Carlisle on a Tuesday Night.

That article is spot on. Whilst I'm pleased that our games have helped some of our senior players get some game time it still feels wrong that we're taking part.
Seriously?

I had to look this up on Wikipedia as I had no idea what the "Checkatrade Trophy" was...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016–17_EFL_Trophy
This is quite frankly the most tin-pot pile of crap I've ever heard of to be honest.

Chance to see some of our (hopefully) promising youngsters, plus a few first teamers, at an affordable price, just turn up and pay on the night if you can get there, none of this poxy STs only, or book on-line months in advance stuff. What's not to like?
