I wouldn't go and watch our first team play Palace or Millwall's U21s in this entirely pointless competition.The Organiser said:

The footage shows men chanting, damaging sinks and smashing windows at the match between Port Vale and Stoke City Under-21s at Vale Park on Tuesday night.

The 11 people arrested were all from the north of Staffordshire, aged between 18 and 61, and detained for a mixture of public order and violence offences.
Fucking hell. Chill out Grandad.

It does seem unfair, surely Stoke should field their under 23 hooligans for this sort of fixture.

Passion in football went 15+ years ago.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Stoke have taken over 4k fans to Port Vale tonight for their derby match...........and are currently watching their U23s lose 3-0 at half time.
This game brought out the passion that Sky fans will NEVER understand.2 -
I take it you do not have the faintest idea of the rivalry between the two clubs.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Apparently asked for more tickets but it would've meant opening another stand and the police wouldn't let them. Crazy for their U23s in this shit cup, but seemingly it's been so long since the 2 sides played that most fans under 30 have never even seen them play each other.

This is one of the top 20 rivalries in the country, easily.The Organiser said:

The dislike is in equal measures.Chris_from_Sidcup said:No real surprise it kicked off. 4k Stoke fans didn't go there because they were really interested to see their youth team playing.
From what i've read there was trouble before, during and after the game. Bottles, seats, flares etc all thrown onto the pitch. Stewards injured, a pub smashed up, a Port vale scorer hit with a bottle, riot police wading into the away fans after the game.
Quiet night.0 -
Just been reading a stoke forum.
Fans on there saying what do the police expect its a derby game, this kind of thing happens, they should have been prepared for it and seem surprised that its in the news, saying this kind of thing happens at the Sheffield derby or Glasgow derby and its never in the news(sounding like Liverpool fans now)
WTF how is that an excuse0 - Sponsored links:

More surprised that Stoke fans bothered turning up for an under 21 game in the Checkatrade. Port vale certainly weren't bothered as they had less than 4k home fans at the game.0 -
It was been the reason for keeping Newcastle and Sunderland apart in the Group Stages of the competition though0

Port Vale would have had about 400 if they were playing any other team.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Well they've not been kept apart any longer.ForeverAddickted said:It was been the reason for keeping Newcastle and Sunderland apart in the Group Stages of the competition though
Sunderland v Newcastle U21 is the key draw from the next round - Guess this'll be Port Vale v Stoke P21 -

Man City complaining to the Football League. The quarter final of the Checkatrade Trophy is 24 hours apart from the second leg with Burton.
Guardiola wants to play a team of youngsters in both and thus wants the Checkatrade game rearranged but the EFL have refused to change the date.3 -
I do wonder if this competition will become a virtual competition soon. More people who would probably watch if two fans played each at FIFA2019 online.4

They probably have enough youngsters to play two different teams.Callumcafc said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46897173

Wins for Sunderland and Pompey means more games and as the lure of Wembley gets closer, the temptation/necessity to field a full strength side becomes bigger. Hopefully they avoid each other in the semi's and the cup run distracts them both.6

Oxford played what seemed to be a first team side last night, Henry and Carruthers played.
Still lost.
Glad we are out of it.0 -
Is it not regionalised? so they will 100% avoid each other.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Wins for Sunderland and Pompey means more games and as the lure of Wembley gets closer, the temptation/necessity to field a full strength side becomes bigger.

Man City could put out their U16s this evening and still go through. He needs to suck it up and get on with it.Callumcafc said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46897173

a midweek slog up to sunderland for pompey and vice versa would do well0

They will both still bring 3,000 to the away game.palarsehater said:a midweek slog up to sunderland for pompey and vice versa would do well

Bury v Portsmouth
Bristol R v Sunderland
Great news, hopefully our rivals both get to Wembley, giving them both 2 more games to play.1 -
Disappointed that Pompey won last night. Not because of the extra game they have to play but simply because a Portsmouth v Sunderland final is probably about as big a final as you can get in this competition in terms of support.
Having them 2 in the final (assuming Sunderland win their semi final), actually redeems the competition in the eyes of the sponsors and organisers and Wembley might even sell out for it.
Was hoping for a totally shit Bristol Rovers v Bury final.
