Its probably accurate, don't know if it includes complimentaries though, assuming we gave any out.
1900 is not as strong a protest as I hoped, not sure how much it was swelled by the 'Chelsea fan' factor. Guess we'll see when Ox*ord play them. I don't begrudge people going to watch their team either.
The Ox* game sure is a hard one to boycott. I'm squaring it withmyself as not a competitive fixture so doesn't count. It does mean we are stuck on '6 in a row' a bit longer though.
They've included the JPT loss in their list of six so it'll count. I'm probably going to it... and having sausage and chips for tea. |

I will boycott b team matches but will attend other fixtures as normal as I would in previous years in the competition.
What will be interesting is the pricing for Oxford. If Power is charging £25.00pp for policing bristol rovers to make sure that policing costs are covered. I believe pricing for the Chelsea academy was £12 for adult? You would have to assume prices will be the same, does that mean we will make a loss?

£15 for adult. Looks like a fair number sold in Arkells already. |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Thanks, it would be interesting to press power on the pricing for this compared to the rovers rematch. The last JPT game between ourselves the attendance was 9k+, no idea if that will be the same this time round and whether people will boycott the bteams or the whole cup. Both midweek, both against local rivals, both should incur the same costs in my eyes. |

For the Oxford game season ticket holders seats (in the Arkells and Townend) are reserved until Friday 23rd so I assume that's why it looks like we have already sold a lot for it.

For me the boycott is for the whole competition, hard to miss the Oxford game but I think it needs to be a complete boycott.

Completely agree. The FL will try to sell this as a "success" by quoting attendances overall, they won't do a breakdown of B team vs regular games. If people only boycott B team games, it won't make enough of a dent in the overall attendances |

As much as we all dislike the Checkatrade, it is officially classed a senior competition. To be honest, my feelings towards the Football League Trophy have remained consistent be it Checkatrade, JPT or Auto Windscreens. It's a nuisance tournament. |

Is it not 2 JPT ties in that 6 and surely the JPT is the same trophy as the Checkatrade Trophy technically so it either 4 in a row or 6 in a row and this one counts. |

I don't view the checkatrade as a valid comp. just my view.
