Being as we cannot now qualify from group - how many still going to this next Wednesday!

 

[MK Shrimper]

They'll be some hardy (foolish?) souls. Probably less than 100.

 

[Barling Magna]

Can Wimbledon still qualify? If so both their fans might come.....

 

[johnlattimerssponge]

No but being out has not changed my mind. Personally I have not been to a game in this since it was ruined IMHO by involving PL clubs in what was and should still be a lower league competition.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Probably cost more to put on that we'll make in ticket sales.

 

[Blueronron]

Club can ill afford a lost to revenue

Would have been better to play at mid day , save on floodlight costs, and probably same crowd

Sometimes the people who run this competition , should look a t the down side to clubs on a financial front

Cannot see more than 400 at the match

You wouldn't be going if it was a league game or FA cup. So don't sneer at those that do. Somebody has to support the club otherwise you would have nothing to moan about.

Useful exercise for Sol to have a look at a few fringe players, see if they bust a gut for league starts

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

I'll be there?

You need your head tested mate.

 

[Richard Hearn]

I may well go just so that I can say that "I was there" at the lowest attended 1st team fixture.

Just as I was part of similarly small crowds to watch the team beat Aldershot 10-1, and Dave Smith's Torquay 7-0.

I bet lots of people think that, and the attendance will be over 11K........

Yes, I did think that as I was writing.

 

[Zeuss]

Yes, I did think that as I was writing.

As with all games,I was looking forward to this match but sadly cannot now be there because of the switch to Wednesday.

In my view this should be a test of how deep your support goes.....I will definitely be there because it is in the darkest times that the club needs its fans most.....I think if you care about the club you should turn up to avoid the club you love losing money

Fair play to you. My support doesn't go that deep so I won't be there.

Same here! At the largest attendance - Liverpool so might as well be at the lowest - probably!

Sol should play his strongest team - especially with Burton being called off. We need to install some confidence and belief in the players and that comes from winning. My plan for staying up would start in the cups. Let's build the confidence there and let that carry over into the league.

Not been to a game in the competition since they put B teams in it and I won’t go to a game in the competition until B teams are removed. If you want to support B teams in Football League competitions that’s fine, it’s your choice. But it doesn’t give you the right to tell other people that they don’t care about the club or judge how deep their support is because they chose to miss a game, for whatever reason.

I’m going, if no one else turns up it will be interesting to sit near the dig out and hear Sol and maybe get a different perspective.
Also with no crowd you can hear the players ( well their players) which is also interesting.
