2017/18 Checkatrade(EFL) Trophy (15/08 v Rotherham)

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Your dad still had a job in Coventry in 1982?

Actually he didn't!
He did in the late 60's when we left for that hell hole.
His job had nowt to do with the car industry though!

Is the game at Rotherham on tv or does anyone know if there might be streams available..

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

probably be more city fans than rotherham fans at the game. What a stupid tournament.

 

[Pride of Chadderton]

A pot's a pot. Let's win it.

 

[bluestevei]

When do we play

 

[lancs blue]

I still live in Coventry and you are spot on Phil. Worst fans of any club I've known. Joke of a club.

I remember a top flight game there in the 80s, the "crowd" was just under 10,000 and we took about 2,000. A club who rose from the lower divisions to the top flight in the 60s under Jimmy Hill and somehow survived relegation by the skin of their teeth year after year.

 

[Tbilisi]

I have a spare U18,no charge,will need to meet at the ground pre match.

 

[MCFC1993]

When do we play

Tomorrow.

 

[goatersnipple]

Tomorrow.

Belter I'll try and watch that then if I can find it

 

[Tbilisi]

Got a spare U18 if anyone wants it.No charge but will need to meet at the ground.

Got a spare U18 if anyone wants it.No charge but will need to meet at the ground.

That sounds like child trafficking to me

 

[Tbilisi]

That sounds like child trafficking to me

Rotherham fans seem up for this cup

The 2 boards i checked the posters seem to be urging fans not to attend as they see the competition as a joke and twisted to the benefit of the premier league. There'll be about 1400 as far as i can tell, maybe more if a few City fans make the trip across. (8000 there at the weekend for 5-0 win over Southend)

some might be, but i doubt it. Unless fitness is required then it seems a good option? Most 1st team squad players would see this as a bit of a slap in the face unless they are good pros. I think theyre all in Spain anyway.

rules:

For the Invited Clubs, a registered player is one who would be registered and eligible to participate in a Premier League and/or Premier League 2 match commencing at the same time and on the same date as the Match in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Premier League rules.

Each Invited Club must ensure that in each Match at least 6 of the starting eleven players named on the Team Sheet are players who were aged under 21 as at the 30th June in the year in which the Season concerned commenced.
