Hope it's all worth it for those enthusiastic few finks when we get beaten by City U23s in a few years. I Look forward to trashing them as well if it ever happens

No. Sunderland fans already boasting that they'll sell out, asking if they'll get offered more than their 1,400 allocation and that they'll be buying tickets in Rovers end. C*nts. Sunderland fans no doubt think they will again be a Premiership club, so will have their own u21 side in the competition. Having gone there for the away game in December there is no doubt they have a Prem set-up there. How on earth can such a sh1t hole of a place have that kind of stadium, a 1st class transport system, and probably other much better facilities than one of the country's core cities?

All of the ones who said they would not go while there were U21 sides can now go because they have all been knocked out. I don't think we will get there, but it we do I'll be there with the family and the gas family.

They had people there willing to invest, We can only dream.

But if you do, fine. Does that make me a sheep? I’ve not been to any checkatrade games, but that’s because there generally sh**e until this stage. But I’ll go to the Sunderland game, be nice to see a good away following too. UTG

A Wembley trip would be a good opportunity to get a few new youngsters on board too.

I Look forward to trashing them as well if it ever happens You think it's acceptable for a competition to be hijacked to allow our fiercest rivals youth team to gain experience against our first team? Each to their own but I find it insulting and the sooner U21 teams are banished from all first team competitions the better.

Can we all agree that something so divisive for not just our fanbase but for many or even most others in the lower leagues, is not working?
For the benefit of the many tens upon hundreds of thousands of lower league supporters that want what's best for them and their contemporaries, aren't we just better off with the previous format that didn't draw such widespread criticism and insighting unsavoury arguments between fans of the same club?

Several reasons not to go.
Wembley has now lost it's appeal, I have been to many times.
It is expensive and an inconvenience to watch Rovers play at a Stadium (which is now just another stadium) 100 miles away.
The competition is irrevelent
And most importantly I hate the music they play at the end of the game Amarillo etc. It isn't bloody darts.
The last final I went to was at Millennium in 2007 and I was bored to tears only went so my son could see the stadium. Did not go to Conference play off final. Probably would not go again unless Championship play off final. FA cup or League cup
