Saw that Port Vale drew Stoke U23s. I wonder if either club (or their fans) will take it seriously.
Was hoping Sunderland would get Newcastle U23s.
Are they allowed to face each other even in the KO rounds?
I know there was a big fuss about keeping Sunderland and Newcastle apart in the Group Stages yet I that'll be impossible if they reach the Final, at least then though it'll be at a neutral venue

How demeaning. Can't think of anything more humiliating than watching our first team lining up against Millwall or Palace's under 21s.
Apparently asked for more tickets but it would've meant opening another stand and the police wouldn't let them. Crazy for their U23s in this shit cup, but seemingly it's been so long since the 2 sides played that most fans under 30 have never even seen them play each other.
7,940 so if stoke did take 4,000 more away fans for an under 23 team than hime fans 1st team
I know a fair few Vale ST holders and regular away travellers and Stoke haters and none of them went, which personally I found very weird.
I wouldn't go and watch our first team play Palace or Millwall's U21s in this entirely pointless competition. It's humiliating. We win, who cares?! They beat us with their youth team, utter embarrassment for us. The only way you can mitigate that is by not turning up and making it clear you consider it an entirely meaningless fixture.
I'd fucking love to be in the Stoke fans' position tonight, you can't lose. Your youth team loses to your rivals' senior side - no shame in that. Your youth team beats Scumwall/Palace's first team and you laugh all the way home. Either way, you get to spend 90 minutes rejoicing in the fact that your club plays in a proper division every Saturday whilst your rivals are wallowing in the pits of the Football League.

In short, I'm backing your Vale mates.
I sort of get that but they supposedly detest each other and have not played for yonks.
The thought of Palace or Millwall turning up and taking the piss like Stoke did with no oppo support would be hard to fathom for me, no matter what the competition.
I mean derby friendlies in the past have been taken more seriously.
There are some proper fucking bellends about .... Imagine if you needed an eartha kitt and that’s what greeted you , you’d like to shit on the face of the twats who done that .
No real surprise it kicked off. 4k Stoke fans didn't go there because they were really interested to see their youth team playing.
From what i've read there was trouble before, during and after the game. Bottles, seats, flares etc all thrown onto the pitch. Stewards injured, a pub smashed up, a Port vale scorer hit with a bottle, riot police wading into the away fans after the game.
The 11 people arrested were all from the north of Staffordshire, aged between 18 and 61, and detained for a mixture of public order and violence offences.

Thanks to Roland this is the only way we can watch big Premiership and Championship clubs now.
the whole smashing up of toilets i find quite sad and that includes when charlton fans have done it in the past, smokes/flares etc i dont mind as long as they do not hurt anyone.

Baffled by the thought process behind it. When our knobends smash up the khazis at Selhurst or The Toolbox, do they think that Palace/Scumwall make their season ticket holders take a couple of days off work/school/community service to come and fix the away end toilets?!
1. Charlton fans smash up away toilets. 2. Palace book in a plumber to come and refit the away end toilets before the next home game. 3. Palace send Charlton the bill for the aforementioned work. 4. We send the money to Palace, instead of spending it on our playing squad, our staff, maintaining our own stadium etc. 5. No Palace fans were hurt, upset or remotely bothered by any of this. Some of our own supporters probably suffered a bit due to being unable to take a leak or a Richard on their way out of the ground.

Correct me if i am wrong someone, but i thought it was U23, but some clubs choose to use their U21 squad. Thought this come up before , either that or my own logic which seems right

Peterborough, Sunderland and Pompey all win too so more games for them.
