Attendances for the U21 team games were very low for sure. Not sure on the others.

Thing is mate at this club we have very real concerns about the very existence of our club,We live under a permanent dark cloud, so don't bother asking us to turn our backs on the only glimpse of light we've seen
In years.
Also in the grand scheme of things, prem and champ teams being allowed to enter under 21 teams
In a tinpot competition most don't care about, pales into insignificance alongside our plight.
Rest assured should we qualify, we will attend on mass in our thousands and win lose or draw Wembley
Will be ours for the day, after that it's back under the cloud.

If we get there? It would make more sense for the fans to go in numbers and enjoy the day. Show potential investors the potential size of the support.
And protest; but no whistles and no pitch invasions. Just lots of singing and banners. Wembley finals have always had banners.

Does everything on this site have to be taken so painfully literally
Checkatrade Trophy - nice little earner for SISU
Prize money for the 2016/17 Checkatrade Trophy stands at £1.95 million, an increase of over 300% from 2015/16, making this season’s rejuvenated competition the most lucrative for participating EFL clubs since its inception in the 1983/84 season.
Clubs will benefit from financial prizes as they progress through the competition which includes £10,000 per win and £5,000 per draw during the Group Stage, increasing prizes for following Knockout Stage victories and a £100,000 prize sum for the eventual winner. In addition, invited clubs will donate all or some of their share of gate receipts to a fund that will be shared equally by clubs from Sky Bet League One and Two.

Does the prize money get paid to SISU then?

I understand your viewpoint, I think everyone understands that the authorities are undermining this competition, as they do every other competition that doesn't have 'Premier League' front of it. However, I think you can see that long suffering Cov fans have no intention of missing this one chance of real enjoyment, and to avoid further unnecessary and pointless bad feeling, it's probably best that you withdraw from the thread. You have made your point.

I am boycotting... the game on saturday because I cannot stand your club or ground for bending over and letting SISU insert one into you.

In theory that's great, but I'm not going to pretend I would boycott a trip to Wembley if we played an under 23 team. I'd still be all over it myself.

Surely it would be better to dig out every 87 flag , kit , shirt , etc - every fan who went in 87 who can go and decend on Wembley ( by the way we still have one match to win ) and really show what the Coventry support is like -much better than staying away - if we make it i will be there - went to Northhampton and now back at the Ricoh - my choice

Course they would, they wouldn't just say they want a day out there would be an alternative reason. Going to show their displeasure or something by clapping their hands 4 times on the 17th minute in protest and thats why they are going.

Least you are honest about it, not thinking up random reasons to be a martyr.
Might try it with the wife. "yes dear, lads holiday for 2 weeks, I wouldn't usually go but I feel I need to go and show my displeasure at brexit by wearing my union jack budgie smugglers."

Nah, I just think it's a bit silly when people announce to the world and then go back on it. No anger or hatred but probably a few cheeky posts about it!

My initial reaction to that is to be annoyed. But that's essentially me now, so fuck it. All aboard.

Or wind them up a little bit.
"It's ok, they have directions to the Ricoh on the backs of the tickets so should help you".
"You need to show them stubs from 2 league games"
One I have lined up is.
"Sorry mate, Its a CCFC semi final not wasps. Must have read it wrong"

We've done our part by knocking out every u23 team. It's now just proper clubs. Every reason to support the clubs now.
