Plymouth Argyle have sold out their initial allocation of 300 tickets and expect a further increment from 4th Jan , and expect any further amount to be sold They might outnumber us! I guess they are in fine form this season, and it's a fairly short journey by their normal standards. Do Sky show games live at this stage of the competition?

Argyle have received a further 300 tickets for the tie, and seems possible these will also sell well, looking at a gate of 1500! Or more

B***** asking for a big crowd. Will the fans respond ? No home game until 21st. Maybe we will see more turn up, not me, not until it’s back to original format so i guess it’s never. Not even Wembley, were we to make it

Not even Wembley, were we to make it If we make to Wembley, and bearing in mind the last couple of years, which have testing to say the least I would love. a ‘jolly’ to London with friends and family. After all there may not be another final in my lifetime The team would want to play it , and it would be good chance of us finally winning our first ever Cup tournament. The club could also do with the substantial monies a trip to Wembley would generate. Nevertheless, we can’t let the current flawed format go without a massive protest by the fans, and as in China/Iran, one of forms of protest involved holding up cards, obviously we are not in a life of death situation. The match will be televised nationally, so twenty-thirty thousand gasheads all holding up cards would be an impressive sight. But before we get ahead of ourselves we have a tough game against Plymouth which I will pass on attending but willl watch it on ifollow UTG

I somehow feel a kindred spirit in you and i love your honesty. I am the first to admit that i am a difficult man but once you have a friend in me then there is nothing that i would not do, to help. I am Gas after all and i want us to do well but i cannot support this format as i truly believe it will see the end of a fair few clubs. It reminds me of the poem first they came for. The money, albeit needed, will just be swallowed by the many DWANE companies ( who can blame them after what Wael has put in) I do admit that i am starting to like Joe though, I think we are a form of therapy for him and vice versa. We show him love that maybe he has not had before. Sadly, the lack of a stadium could see him go, frustrated like DC. I sure hope we hear something has been signed and soon. Have a great week mate

Joey B***** admits he 'cannot bear' Plymouth Argyle with Bristol Rovers fired up for EFL Trophy..
Joey B***** has dismissed any suggestion he will use Tuesday's EFL Trophy quarter-final clash with South West rivals Plymouth Argyle to rest and rotate; the Bristol Rovers boss says this one is personal.
Tuesday's tie at the Mem will be the third time the Gas and Argyle have met this season, with rivalry brewing between the coaching units and players. B***** stoked the fire before a pulsating 2-2 draw between the sides in October, going public with his dislike for Argyle director of football Neil Dewsnip, adding yet more spice to a game with many Liverpudlian connections on and off the pitch.
Following that game, relations between the clubs have soured further with Rovers first-team coach Andy Mangan charged by The FA following an allegation of homophobic language made by a Plymouth staff member. Mangan strongly denies the accusations, which centre around a half-time incident outside the home dressing room, where Rovers allegedly noticed a person filming without permission.
The allure of a Wembley final, which is just two wins away, is motivation enough for Rovers to take this much-maligned competition seriously, but B***** says he would also love to get one over on the League One leaders.
"We cannot bear Plymouth, so we will be taking everything Plymouth-related with full contact and full strength," he said.
"I’ve no interest (in Plymouth's team selection). Plymouth will be strong, whichever way they go. They had a good, scrapping point by the looks of it against Bolton on Saturday and they’ve signed four players already.
"As you would if you’re them, you’ve got to get your business done early. For me, I think there is a lot more value at the back end of the window.
"They will be buoyed and strengthened by that and I think Finn Azaz is returning for injury, so it’s a great game for us and we’ve got to go to their stadium at some point later on in the season.
"But the way the game finished last time when we were 2-0 down at half time and finished a lot stronger, we will take a lot of confidence from that and I’m hoping on Tuesday night we get a decent crowd in because we’re only a couple of games away from getting to Wembley."
Argyle have made four signings already since the January window opened last week, with defender Saxon Earley, midfielders Callum Wright and Jay Matete and attacker Sam Waine joining the Pilgrims.
Rovers and Argyle first met in September in the opening group stage fixture in the tournament, drawing 1-1 in a sparsely-populated Home Park before the hosts won the bonus point shootout.
B*****'s side would finish second in the group, but they have beaten Colchester United and MK Dons en route to the quarter-finals.
Unlike the low-key clash in Devon earlier in the season, Tuesday's meeting promises to have a more intense atmosphere, with Plymouth selling out their initial allocation of 300 tickets before requesting more, and B***** hopes his team are backed by plenty of Gasheads.
He is the first to admit he is not keen on the format of the competition, but having navigated to this stage, he does not want to let the chance of a Wembley final slip.
"It’s a competition that can allow you to blood youngsters and we’ve used that at previous clubs to give them exposure," he added.
"This year, it’s been quite strange. We’ve been booted everywhere by everyone we’ve played in it. It was frustrating in the early part because we were picking up injuries that were needless and I think that was due some of the exposure novice referees get in the competition.
"Hopefully, that settles down now because teams are two or three games away from getting to a Wembley final.
"It would be nice to take the Gasheads on a trip to the home of English football and we have to beat the team that is top of the tree, technically the hardest team that is left in the competition. But if you want to go to Wembley and have a big day out, you’ve got to knock off good sides."

I do not have the slightest interest in this competition. I have not watched any game live or on i-follow and should we get to Wembley, even if it is showing live on the telly, i will be out walking the dog.

I see B***** keeps crapping on about the state of our pitch, I wonder if the weather will play a part in this fixture ?

It looks like we will just have to wait until tonight’s result is in, after all we could only be only one win away from Wembley. If all four members that make up ‘toteend4 were having to make a decision. At this precise moment ‘should I stay or should I go’ for day out in London, one of us, would not be coming on principle. I would hazard a guess if we were able to fashion a win tonight, then suddenly, from nowhere, a ‘mini tsunami’ of interest will suddenly appear. On the flip side, if we were to lose tonight’s game then the interest level will disappear faster than the babysitters boyfriend when the car pulls up! UTG

If format was restored, I would show my support from match one as have done in past. I think many others would do too.
JAB comments upbeating this fixture by attempting to create a false escalated rivalry is cynical to say the least to try to bolster crowds.... Plymouth boss is one of his best friends, and most Gas refer Pilgrims as meh in the hierarchy of rivalries!
Poor comments! Smats of exactly what this format smells of....false bullsh!t.
BOYCOTT THIS CUP! ....and any pizza that doesn't have pineapple on it! 🍍 .....and if your papa is called John..

We also have the strange incident of a member of the Plymouth staff allegedly filming into the Rovers' dressing room at The Mem, followed by Andy Mangan being reported to the FA for allegedly making homophobic comments. With the ongoing absence of the Bristol derby, I think that, when we play Plymouth, it is now classed as a West Country derby - both teams usually take a good following to the League games, so always has a bit of an edge for me.
