EFL Cup Round 1 vs Stevenage - Tickets - Quid A Kid & Closed Stands

@Malone

Exactly this, shutting 2 stands just makes it feel like an utterly tinpot game akin to the Autopizza Motors shield.

Whisper it..but might be a click a button and watch at home job.

Up until this I had just assumed it was the tinpot cup and couldn’t see what the fuss was all about. Didnt realise it was your actual League Cup

@wwfcblue

I can’t see a gate of more than 1500 for this.

150 Stevenage

500 Family Stand

600 Old Main Stand

I read that originally as…

600 Old Man Stand.

A bit sexist I thought but a fairly accurate description

(No offence…)

Given that the match has been moved to Friday, I’d assumed it was being televised - as a glorious season opener along with the other fixtures that evening - and closing the Frank Adams Stand was a cynical ploy to pack out the Origin Stand and make it look better on TV.

Except it’s not being shown in the UK.

Opening the season with a Carabao Cup fixture is just another consequence of the World Cup.

I’m struggling to work up the enthusiasm to commit to going to watch. If others are like me then between the Family Stand and Origin Stand we’ll have plenty of space.

I know I’m on fire with my moaning recently but…

apparently we have an EFL Trophy fixture at Reading three weeks tomorrow. But I can see no info about this or any other fixtures listed on club website for this competition?

You didn’t look hard enough. It’s on the main tickets page right below Blackpool.

It’s live on Sky Sports + (which is where I’ll be watching it given the stand closures)

All league cup games are on Sky these days - brought in last season.

I hope you’re correct but the Sky Sports App doesn’t show it as such

They do indicate the match between Bristol City v Walsall the day before as on Sky Sports + though.

First chance to see Declan Skura in action. I doubt whether Bristol City will field many Championship regulars but the match should provide an interesting insight into his potential - not that we didn’t have some clear indications towards the end of last season of how cool, calm, comfortable and collected he looked on the ball and how well he read the game.

Yes but when are the others?

I’ve no idea, maybe a date hasn’t been set yet? But I’d expect w/c 12th October & w/c 9th November (but see my edit below).

Meanwhile tickets are available for all WWFC matches until 5th September, so far.

Edit:
The Bucks Free Press website reported on 14th July that the Wycombe Wanderers EFL Trophy fixtures would be…

Reading vs Wycombe Wanderers – Tuesday, August 18, 7pm
Wycombe Wanderers vs Chelsea U21s – Tuesday, September 15, 7pm
Wycombe Wanderers vs Bristol Rovers – Tuesday, October 6, 7pm

(Decide for yourself if you think they might be correct).

Second Edit:
Here’s what the club website had to say (which would be the source of the BFP article)

A cup defeat is more likely

A coup de grass is completely unnecessary.
