Tonight's EFL Trophy attendances (O/T ??)

Scrap this farce of a competition

[Arnside Red]

Don't agree with scrapping the competition, the prize is a great day out at Wembley for 2 lower league sides, but in it's new format it is a farce...and won't get my support at all, I see there was an article in a paper today suggesting a move towards 5 divisions with reserve teams plus Rangers and celtic.....it's started...Prem bully boys, greed their only motive

Looks like many folk are boycotting. TBH I am in two minds whether to do the same. No interest in seeing us play some U21 team but Bradford is always tempting, particularly if heavily discounted.

Another load of interesting attendance figures tonight no doubt....!!

Everton U23 v Blackpool
Blackburn U23 v Oldham
Leicester U23 v Walsall

just some of the glamour ties !! Wonder what the crowds will be....

At least ours tomorrow has some interest/rivalry, Lancashire v Yorkshire, Bradford-by-the-sea etc etc!!

Where will the Everton match be played. Surely not Goodison Park ?

If you fancy coming down to support the lads, head to The Sir Philip Carter Park End, where cash turnstiles will be available. Admission costs £5 for adults and £2 for concessions. Due to competition rules, free entry is not available for this fixture.

They are surely going to break the stadiums lowest attendance record tonight.

[Seasider9601]

Yes, it's at Goodison.

I'm listening to Radio Lancs now and they say it's empty.
