Our 'gate' also included approx 40 from Stoke.

Hardly worth switching the lights on, even if all the 512 paid the full £5, it's only £2500.
Very difficult after 2 losses to promote the Sunderland game when they won both and already qualified

Just read that Gillingham's game was played at The Valley, Charlton FC as their pitch at The Priestfield Stadium was being relayed...

Mid season ?????

Nothing new here regarding attendances in this competition, you must bear in mind this was a game against a non-local Championship reserve side. I do recall a good crowd in this competition last season against Carlsile at home which I attended. For me the the check-A-Trade substitutes the Lancs cup which would be played if we were in the non-league; attendances in that comp were always low until you got to the final.

Would be interested to see what crowd a game against Man City's U23 would draw?

Bury v Leicester City on Tuesday night saw Bury's lowest EVER attendance.

454 with 18 away fans.

How do attendances for this version of the comp compare to the previous straight knockout, such as, Johnson's paint straight knockout version without the prem U23s.

....and yet despite already having qualified their fans are prepared to travel in their numbers to The Globe when some of ours can't be even bothered to attend...
