Sham of a competition. |

Grimsby is nearly 3 hours away from Sunderland, so not exactly on ones doorstep. Also, everyone knows its a sham, so why the hell would people travel? |

I was amazed three travelled! I assume that they are either Sunderland fans who live in Grimsby or are related to some young lad who was playing for Sunderland.

Well, the point is, it's not that far compared to normal Sunderland games. Most Sunderland away games are further. However, to be clear, I wasn't saying more should have travelled - I was saying that the fact only three travelled demonstrated how much of a sham the competition is, and how little respect it got. I wasn't criticising Sunderland fans! |

AFAIK there are a couple of Sunderland fans based in Hull, just going by RTG so it was probably them! Granted it's live football and all but ffs a lot can be said for sitting on the high stool nestled in the corner with a few pints in front of you instead of watching that sh*te.

Exactly.
Still, they got to see the cheap, cheap drama of penalties, and a Sunderland win to boot. |

Bollocks! Just go to Cleethorpes for the piss-up and f**k the match, the future of the EFL needs this competition to fail.

The Championship has been kind to an extent for the die-hard away day brigade, a lot of Northern clubs in the Division which has softened the blow of not winning after not winning but I get your point. You're one of the good ones

Turns out the 3 were there as a Birthday gift.. Imagine unwrapping all the paper on the morning to find a ticket for a Grimsby vs Sunderland U23's Checktrade Trophy Match
The players didn't even go over at the end either!

EFL have decided to start streaming the remaining games.. They wasn't meant to until the 19/20 season.
In other words, attendances have been below expectations

Once again the boycott has ended when it's time to bandwagon
For a competition which has averaged 800 fans there was over 9000 (No internet meme needed) fans at Lincoln tonight. Followed by a pitch invasion when they beat the Chelsea U23's on penalties Actually wanted Chelsea reserves to win it to highlight how much of a sham an EPL team going to Wembley would of made the tournament look like.

I don’t mind it if a lower league team have their lovely day out, its kinda the whole point of the competition. If Chelsea had won itd had been an utter farce, equally as a farce than when they fixed the draws for every group stage to have a derby to try generate interest Edited by coyne - 07 Feb 2018 at 1:23pm |
