Matches B Team Boycott.........

[witney50]

My view on B-Team boycott etc

Yes I went to both Barnsley and Coventry Wembley finals in the EFL ( plus prem U5s) trophy

and, Ive been to two away matches in said trophy early rounds
One being the Scum away match ( never missed a scum away game)

The other being Exeter away ( at the KO stages- we went out on pens at) as I
was working down that neck of the woods, and the U's were ( up till then) playing
superb football .... I met @Belgium Yellow at that game too

those exceptions apart Ive 'boycotted' EFL trophy matches, while PL kids teams are included

though I will be listening in on RadOx to tonights game

I am exactly the same , hardcore boycott the trophy except for all of the games that i want to go and see?
Which is most of them.

One of the four and a half millions names this competition has had over the years.

But I thought there was no sponsor this year and it’s just called the EFL trophy?

According to Sunderland, the trophy qualifies as a competitive match this season.
When did it change? So do things like bookings count in the league this season?

[TL;DR the Oxford reference is that Sunderland equalled their biggest ever margin of victory with 7, which was against us]
