Total waste of time and pointless, but can we go to the game? 

Can you go to any game in September? Nope 

Sorry The sarcasm doesn’t come over we’ll in written word.

Some of us might get to go for the Doncaster game in September

Urghhhh why are we back in this competition again, think being in it is one of the worst things about being in League one.

Add to that last season we were playing Fulhams first team, now we will possibly play their youth team(and probably lose)

Would quite like it if we won this tournament... You know seeing as we've been the best club in it a couple of times and lost too early

Only reason I'd want to see us win the EFL Trophy is if we're in mid-table in League One and dont look like getting promotion

If, by some miracle, we came anywhere close to getting to the final at Wembley you can rest assured that the Football League would bring in a new ruling that we were only allowed to put out a veterans side with a minimum age of 45.

They've rogered us on most other things in recent months so I can't see why this would be any different.

Is this match being streamed on Valley Player?

No, we are all watching the Court Hearing instead. 😬

It’s being advertised on AFC Wimbledon site for £10

£5 if you’re abroad or “abroad” 😉

First game on the road to Wembley😁.

On our website now

£10 really

Was gonna pay if it was £5 but £10 is taking the piss for pretty much a friendly lol.

Cup tickets are usually cheaper than league games so why is this the same price as what a league game would be?

Surely it should just be £5, cant honestly see to many people paying £10 for a EFL Trophy game

Is there a minimum price that clubs can charge for iFollow (or in-house equivalent)?

When we have home cup matches against lower-league opponents we always seem to have to charge a minimum of £10 otherwise the oppo complain that they're being short-changed from their "glamour" tie, so I wondered if there was a similar restriction for streaming.

Yeah £10 is the minimum that we're allowed to charge under EFL Regulations (is in the link)

Notice that the Annual Pass for those "abroad" has gone from £110 to £140... Also claimed as the minimum that the EFL are allowed to charge, yet for the last few years its been okay for them the charge the former? - More rules that the EFL seem to simply to change at will

Nice if you know how to go "abroad" for 2 hours lol some of us are not that clever

Download the Opera browser (it’s free) and set the VPN to wherever in the world you like

Seeing the game is available for UK viewers you only need to have your VPN on to pay for the game - Once you've done so, can turn it back off if you want

Thats if you're using a VPN that only allowes limited bandwidth and so leaves you with a laggy / buffering stream

Road closed for re-surfacing.

Expect delays up to 18 months whilst the new contractor, TS Unlimited, carries out the repair work.

If it’s only 18 months I would be very happy. 

Had anyone else purchased the game tonight?

I have bought it through Valley Pass will it automatically start or do I need a password/ passcode?
anyone got any idea?
thanks 

You'll just have to go to live.cafc.co.uk (make sure you're logged in when you're on the page)

Stream usually starts about 15mins before the game is due to begin

Cheers thanks for that.
