Tottenham Hotspur B - Checkatrade Trophy 2017-2018 - The Road to Wembley

[Legacy Lilywhite]

I disagree with the negativity about PL B teams being involved. I think it does add some interest and another dimension to the competition. It's good experience for players on both sides and gives fans a different experience. I'm looking forward to these games.

If anyone else phones up for tickets can you let me know if they insist on collection at turnstiles?

I've been in the home and away ends at Luton and that sounds like chaos if more than a few dozen turn up

I'd be interested to hear what the majority of proper fans of lower league clubs think about it. The argument against it on the podcast here was very strong. But ultimately it's the fans of those teams whose views matter.

At the moment the trip to Wembley is a great day out for those fans of the teams who make it there. Plus the semi and maybe even quarter finals are interesting. I don't think you'd get this if it was e.g. Coventry vs Swansea reserves in the final.

So.... is anyone else actually going?

Danny Rose hopefully.

Anyone know where we pick the tickets up from at Luton?

They said the away end on the phone but I personally don't believe that - have been there a few times. I think the main ticket office will be my first calling point!

We're playing tonight. Anyone know the squad?

 

[Totti]

Really thought we'd get Edwards in this competition.

Guess not.

Live commentary on the Luton website...

I can't seem to find anything on our OS...

Don't suppose it's on a stream anywhere either... not with Liverpool sucking all the world's bandwidth with their CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL tonight!

Really thought we'd get Edwards in this competition.

Guess not.

Saving him for the weekend...
Or else he's not ready yet!

 

[Bill Madrid]

Come on Luton.

Hope we play well, hope no one's injured, hope Luton go through to the next stage and we don't

Just out of interest... why?

 

[Totti]

Just out of interest... why?

Because even shit teams deserve a trophy.

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Wishing Spurs to lose?

 

[Bill Madrid]

Just out of interest... why?

Because we have no place in this competition. It's for 3rd and 4th Division teams, if they get to Wembley its the best thing ever for them, the whole town celebrates. 1st and 2nd Division B teams shouldn't be in it and I hope all of them get knocked out ASAP. Alex from Bristol put it far better than I can on a pod a few episodes ago, but I felt exactly the same way last year when we weren't in it, as did friends of mine who support lower league teams.

[Bill Madrid]

Wishing Spurs to lose?

In this competition, yes I'm afraid. If drawing could see two out of Luton, Wimbledon and Barnet progress then I'd be OK with that.

Sorry, but football will be the winner if no B teams at all progress

Anyone found a stream for this?

Anyone found a stream for this?

The reason there's no stream for this game... is because by virtue of our participation in the competition, we've all been sold down the river!
