"...So are you prepared to meet me and call me a scab face to face, or do you find easier behind a keyboard?..." I hear the carpark is a good venue for this sort of thing.Chewbacca gets called out on social media... ....I have a very bad feeling about this. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.

Predictable really. Why posters feel the need to call eachother names is beyond me. It's a topic for discussion ffs.
Get up the Mem car park and sort it out.

I'm not telling any of you what to do or think and I expect the same courtesy in return. With courtesy you are fella. You've said Rovers playing = Rovers needing our support and there are other ways to protest without compromising the support of your team like a petition. With respect a petition in this case and attending is like signing a petition to save Whales then manning the harpoon.

Sigh.
In my opinion anyone who attends a B team game in this competition is harming our club but it is their right to do so.
The arguments put forward for attending seem flimsy and hollow to me but I don't really see the need to call them names.
Misguided perhaps, but Scab is a bit unnecessary.
Shame that once again we can't discuss anything without it ending up like this.

Worth considering that our club actually voted against the introduction of B teams into this competition. Certain fans of said club are suggesting paying money to attend this competition. In my opinion there are a number of sound reasons not to attend these fixtures, not least because the club itself essentially voted against them taking place at all. That said, to criticise a fellow gashead for the crime of wishing to support the team regardless of football league politics shows a real lack of class in my opinion. None of us have all the answers - respect the beliefs of other gasheads, especially when they are grown men clearly capable of using their own reasoning to come to their own decision.

I was boycotting the Mickey Mouse Cup prior to this due to it being a completely pointless and meaningless cup. Just treat it as a reserve run out.

Any chance we can get Jezzer Corbyn to come down and give a lecture in the car park on how to boycott things and F them up ? We can have a ban the bomb sausage sizzle after maybe.

I'm expressing that attendees are scabs in my opinion. If you don't like that opinion, don't attend and I won't express my opinion that you're a scab for attending.
So are you prepared to meet me and call me a scab face to face, or do you find easier behind a keyboard? Ah forums. Aye go on then, Scunthorpe or the Welly?

Just an idea, but why not book hospitality en masse in the Dribuild (with no view of the pitch) - ie turn up for the meal but stay by the bar for the game?
If 100 people asked for a cheaper hospitality package ie pie and mash type meal (but no match ticket) the club can hardly say no. Those that want to can then buy a 50/50 or a programme etc- (programes might be worth something in the future as I don't suspect there will be much of a print run (500 max?)
Best of both worlds - the club get revenue, you can have a chat and drink with your mates, good food, good publicity (invite Mickey Mouse sports programme on Bristol TV channel to do a boycott feature at Mickey Mouse game?) and few people in the stand/terraces.
Then at 90 minutes, you can go in the stand and sing to the tune of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall -
Hey Scud-a-more, leave our league alone! All in all, the EFL Trophy is worth * All

I'm no fan of these academy's joining the competition. It demeanours the whole ethos of lower league sides having the prospect of a day out for a Cup Final. I never saw this as Mickey Mouse' until now

So are you prepared to meet me and call me a scab face to face, or do you find easier behind a keyboard? can he bring his keyboard ?
