No idea really what to expect of this tie, by way of our first game in this year's sponsor-less Trophy group phase. Likely to be quite well attended, though - in the away section, anyway!
Post your thoughts here. And, for those planning to attend, don't forget it's a 7:30pm start...

Not bothered about this match at all. Papa John's have totally wrecked this competition with the introduction of premier League under 21 sides. I expect the low attendance will reflect this.

Can't blame Papa Johns for that 'pizza' lunacy, Ceefs. It was the Checkatrade Trophy when U-21s first received invitations in 2016... and, of course, the EFL came up with such a nonsensical idea.
Any wonder that the competition is without a sponsor right now?!

With an attendance of almost 5000 predicted it may be one of the best supported games in the competition

Some way short of a staggering 31,000-plus who watched Coventry play Crewe in the competition 10 years ago - and not, I hasten to add, in a Final!
