I wouldn't touch that final whoever we play. For me a boycott means a boycott, attending would be utterly hypocritical. I'm with chewy. A boycott is a boycott. It's a point of principle. It's a free country, others can attend if they so wish. But I would imagine they will be politely reminded of the "bigger picture". UTG. And you would get a similarly polite reply back from me

Chewbacca, The same as your view!!! With all due respect Steve you lost me at "armchair supporters". My Grandmother stopped going to Rovers in the 1990's, she would listen to every commentary on Radio Bristol, kicked every ball and went through every emotion going until she died. She'd done 60 years of watching Rovers by the time she'd stopped, swept the terraces at Eastville, the lot. I'd have loved to have seen you tell her she didn't "support" the club from her armchair, she'd have given you a clip round the ear and called your opinion "utter tosh". How old was she when she stopped going to games,obviously over 70.which in my view is acceptable but not from someone in their 30s or 40s

so you also boycott the fa cup over the past five seasons or more as those rich premiers***e clubs play their reserves and U21 players like the CT ?
You really are a card ..supporters mean support check it our in the Bristle dictionary Harry Stoke will put you right/
Obviously the construct of planned action designed to yield a beneficial result over the long term is beyond your cerebral capacity. There, now I've been and done it, the threats will start any minute now. You are living in a dream world bambi,the powers that be in any walk of life ignore these sort of actions because at the end of the day money talks or vestige interests over rule anything else.Where is the planned action? historically the cup for lower divisions has always been poorly attended until you get to regional finals or the Wembley final unless it is a local derby

Anyway, I thought we had comparative attendances shown on here a couple of months ago, and they were well down under the new competition format?

What is it that gives you the right to decide what's ''acceptable''?

See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in 20 years you're gonna do some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certaintees in life. One, don't do that. And Two, you dropped thirty grand on an education you could have got at a public library.

Is this a caption competition? I'll go first. Don't you just hate it when you dig out a huge bogey and it falls off your thumb before you can pop it into your mouth.

The difference is they play their first team, who they pick to play in that first team is up to them. We have to play against their U21's, while their first team could be playing somewhere else on the same day.

Some people need to grow up. There can be a case made for going to these games and not. I'm not going to judge people for it. For me, I don't agree with the decision to put U21's against lower league teams but it also won't stop me attending if I want to go.

Then you can only look to yourself if you go as to why this format continues, ergo divide the fanbase.. Because everyone whom attends, are they helping or not helping the current format?

"Dividing the fanbase" is over dramatic, surely? A few people have a disagreement on a minor forum. Live and let live, I reckon.

So, IF we reach the Wembley final, who will go? I would go so long as we were playing a league team, but definitely not if we were playing an under-21 team. Not a chance while I still cling to life. Hopefully I will be gone before the prem manage to get prem B

You really are a pompous arse HB and you really enjoy flaming an otherwise decent forum. I wish you would think before posting and act in a manner that behooves a man who is is his latter years & club historian. Who knows, maybe you like being disliked but if you look up borderline personality disorder then you may see you tick many of the things associated with it. That and being outted as a multiple account holder, doesn’t paint a good picture of you. In short grow the Fxxx up, please

"Dividing the fanbase" is over dramatic, surely? A few people have a disagreement on a minor forum. Live and let live, I reckon. This issue has divided opinion and in last season got a little incendiary over both forums. What I was referring to was: before this format, we had more fans turning up to matches in early stages. In this format, the club have for the first time in it's history actually lost money hosting a first team match on the day. Premier League clubs and EFL don't care. I do. Restore the previous format and everyone's a winner. Introduction of a cup for u21 in top flight too. Like I said, is anyone helping or not helping by attending?

What is it that gives you the right to decide what's ''acceptable''? And what gives you the right to say I haven't got the right to say what I did Try stamping your feet and screaming, you may feel better and it's about as effective as a debating strategy. I didn't say that you didn't have a right to say what you did.
