The 7-4 Cheltenham match last season was broadcast on i follow

MF has a good selection problem tomorrow, particularly up front. Ordinarily you'd want him to play fringe players like Collins but Taylor, Podge and Janneh will expect to play, plus why drop Abrahams when he's in form?

Weirdly I expect a similar high-scoring game like last year. I'll go for 5-2 County.

We don't charge that to go watch this competition

How much were they last season?

I don't think that this competition has been video broadcast before this season. It is expensive but they may be trying to recover broadcasting costs from what will be a small audience. I was reluctant but I think I'll tune in to see players that didn't play on Saturday and because its been so long without football.

I think I watched the West Ham U21 game online

I’ve seen Cheltenham away two years running in this competition paying £10 each time.Haven’t a problem with the price and already booked for tomorrow.

I hope Flynny plays squad members instead of academy players,other than Woodiwiss.I want to see Janneh,Cooper and a look at Taylor.

Agreed. Would make sense to start with all those fit squad members who didn't start Sat. Suspect there will be a few academy players spread between starting and on the bench.

Interesting to note that Cambridge haven’t sold out the 1,000 tickets they were able to put on sale for their test event tonight. Even six months without football can’t make the Spotafan Trophy an attractive proposition for paying punters!

I wonder if the 'test' won't be deemed to have been passed if they don't reach the 1000 mark. Surely one thing they are testing is their ability to get fans in and out efficiently. How can they move to 2000 if they haven't proved they can manage 1000?

Good to hear. Most football fans recognise it for what it is, EFL taking the King's Shilling. If you are happy to watch us play Cardiff City kids in a league game in the near future pop along to a tinpot trophy game.

Not sure there is a midfield there

Good to see so many young lads potentially getting their chance. Up to them to take it.

Interesting to see Woodiwiss selected ahead of Longe-King who doesn’t even make the bench. AFAIK he isn’t injured. Bit worrying.

Sonny Lewis is 15, is that a record for us
