Agreed by the club knowing the date & what else is being planned ?? Or do they think the date might be significant & will encourage the players even more. Hearing KR's reply to the first question asked at Petts Wood earlier this month I doubt whether he's bothered about it at all.
Checkatrade Trophy: EFL to stream matches up to quarter-finals
EFL clubs had originally agreed to stream Checkatrade Trophy games to a domestic audience from the start of the 2019/20 season. Matches up to the quarter-finals of this season's Checkatrade Trophy will be streamed live online.
Fans will be able to watch matches via the EFL's paid-for live-streaming platform, iFollow, starting with the 16 second-round ties in December.
It is part of a trial as the EFL looks to expand its coverage with UK-based fans able to watch the Checkatrade Trophy matches for the first time.
The semi-finals and final will be shown on Sky Sports.
EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "The ability to live stream EFL matches is an exciting new innovation that is already having a major impact for overseas fans of EFL clubs since we launched iFollow ahead of the 2017/18 season.
"This opportunity is being extended to UK-based fans from next season, as we develop plans to deliver live domestic streaming for any non-Saturday 3pm league and live TV games."
The matches will be free for existing subscribers but there will be a match-by-match charge for one-off customers.
The seven remaining first-round ties will be played on 28-29 November, with the second round taking place the week commencing 4 December.
