What happens if 15:43 - Jul 9 with 1964 views | JackSted | A League One/Two team make the Checkatrade trophy final alongside an u21 side? Surely the atmosphere would be completely dead. LMAO imagine us making the final bringing 40k to Wembley and Southampton u21's bring 5k....... | |

What happens if on 15:47 - Jul 9 with 1932 views | WarkTheWarkITFC | No U21 team has even got close yet, but it'll happen at some stage. Will make a total mockery of the competition. Now Shaun Harvey has gone, we can only hope the next person up will get rid of the U21 teams but as money talks more than integrity I am sure they won't. As you say it'll be a bizarre atmosphere and a media circus. | |

What happens if on 16:09 - Jul 9 with 1825 views | Superblue95 | Or even worse imagine if two of the U21 teams made the final. There would only be about 500 people at Wembley. | |

What happens if on 16:15 - Jul 9 with 1797 views | ElderGrizzly | Fairly sure there was a rule preventing U21 sides making the final? | | | |

Would be great if that happened and wembley was that empty, they might be inclined to reconsider the participation of u21 teams. | |

It can be abused by PL clubs too. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/12/07/checkatrade-trophy-sinks-new-low | | | |

Yeah but imagine losing the semi final to an u21 team then qualifying for the final anyway. Takes any fun out of the competition | |

What happens if on 20:10 - Jul 9 with 1397 views | Swansea_Blue | I reckon the U21s would get the support from the fans of their senior team. (And remember Wembley fills up even if the senior team only gets home crowds of 15k). Swansea got into the semis a couple of seasons ago and it started to take off down here. Probably depends who it is though. A top 4-6 club the fans probably wouldn’t care, but anyone in the bottom half who hasn’t been to Wembley for years would do ok. | |
