With a Wembley visit potentially 1 game away this is our chance to make a stand for the duration of this mock cup. We’re doing ok up to now gasheads but let’s not do a Oxford and Coventry. Morals gas heads. No B teams. Is there even any b teams left? Hope so. Let’s not make this a day out at Wembley, let’s make it a day about Rovers contributing towards the future of our league. Still 1 game to go but DO NOT BE SIDE TRACKED.

Makes sense 2 legged game won’t effect the prem so why not. I went to Southend away 2nd leg years ago. Agogo hit the bar late on to send it to extra time. Used to support it, now can’t believe it.

It always helps to know what you are boycotting.

My own thoughts on this competition aside, if we make the final in this then this place will be like a civil war....
And I for one don't really want to see that....

Wembley a few games away. But could go to the Ethiad and Stamford Bridge before then.

I haven't been to a match in this competition since the format changed a couple of seasons ago. I won't go to Wembley should we get to the final.

Not a fan of the early rounds but would I go to Wembley? You bet. Mainly to take my lad, who wasn’t here for our last visit.

I suspect that you and I would be joined by a good number of Gasheads if we get to Wembley. Guess that would depend on opposition partly. Would imagine we would struggle to take over 10k against one of the U21 teams. Maybe 15k-20k against an actual side. Either way will be far down on previous finals.

We certainly wont be taking 30k of that I am sure; but the lure of seeing you're team at Wemberley may entice a few of the younger and even some of the sceptical fans. We will only know if we get there

I'm not sure I agree on that but until it happens who knows. Gasheads are a passionate breed and I think the chance see the Gas at Wembley full stop is enough to to get most there - except those boycotting of course.

I'd rather sh!t in my hands and clap than watch a game in this competition in its current format. Getting to Wembley won't change that. Not attending is the only way of stopping the FA destroying the lower leagues and widening the gap between the Premier League. An absolute farse.

Not sure you'd see most go to be honest, but time will tell. It's clear from reading many replies on here and the attendances thus far at home that the majority aren't interested in engaging with the competition. Obviously some day trippers would be swayed by the chance to go to Wembley. I genuinely do wonder how people feel about the prospect of playing Bristol City U21 in the not to distant future? Do they care, do they not?

Do they care, do they not? I'd go as far as to say it is degrading for lower league clubs. It's an insult to their tradition and heritage. Being made to face up against City U21's would be the ultimate insult, and sadly with this format it is a distinct possibility in the next 2-3 years. This is why out of principle I could not allow myself to attend a Wembley final, as tempting as it might be to go if we were to get there.

Yeah, quarters and semis are both one leg only, unseeded, unregionalised draws.
