Well the boycott memo didn't reach the far south west as almost 4000 attended the game against Chelsea B.
The club promoted it far more aggresively than usual with £8 tickets and free admission for kids. Given they voted against the proposals they bleated about making a loss if fans stayed away and wheeled out the manager to plead for fans to make the difference. There was plenty of social media pressure but too many couldn't, or refused to, see the big picture.
Dispiriting stuff all round.

1,127 saw Scunny beat Sunderland's kids 3-1. That crowd is about par for an early Freight Rover Trophy game at Glanford Park, although it is still the school holidays. The Iron gave a second senior appearance to young defender Lewis Butroid, so at least the crowd were offered some childish amusement (unless it's just me that finds it funny). I wasn't there.

There were 161, and a further 913 watching online, for Donny R'sonists 1-0 away win at Grimsby Internet Mariners.
The two fan's teams staged a charity fixture at the same time as Rovers and Town met as part of the fans' boycott of the competition.

It's bloody easy to boycott when you don't even realise your team is playing. Wimbledon visited Barnet last night and though I thought I vaguely heard something about it over the tannoy on Saturday nobody sitting around me seemed to know anything about it so I thought I'd misheard and thought nothing more of it since.

EDIT: It might be an alternative spelling of the more common Boothroyd. Pronounced -roid.Last edited by Me Old Flower; 30-08-2017, 15:45.

Another disappointingly large crowd at Argyle tonight.
However the discovery of a Brent Out sticker on a lamppost generated far more internet traffic than match chat so it's not all bad.

One thing I will guarantee is that Barnet will never win a penalty shoot out in this or any other competition. The only one we have one, to my knowledge, was against Swindon in the FA Cup about ten years ago, and that was only because all four Swindon penalties missed the goal.
