Re: EFL Trophy Final. Enough is Enough?
Its very hard to see a way in which this game can be played before 50,000+ at Wembley in the next 12 months unless an effective vaccine is found and rolled out fully within that period. It will be interesting to see whether the competition is held next season, surely you can't start playing matches before the previous years' final has been held!
My guess is that it will be voided, and ticket holders will be refunded , however hard it is for Wembley to give it back.

I've got quite a lot of money tied up with the 10 tickets that I bought, along with 10 tickets for Box Park that I paid for!

Re: EFL Trophy Final. Enough is Enough?
Back in the depths of time, I was really looking forward to this game. However, it has got to the stage where it all seems pretty pointless, even as a one-off day out. Both teams, but especially Salford, have released players and there will be signings before the game takes place. It would seem to have nothing to do with the teams that played in 2019-20.

Re: EFL Trophy Final. Enough is Enough?
Agreed fully. How can this final be seen with any credibility if it is not played during its intended season. It must be played as a pre-season opener or else it will jut become an albatross around the neck.Pompey Penguin wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 5:25 pm Back in the depths of time, I was really looking forward to this game.

I am not sure whether it is Leasing.com or the EFL that make the shout on when it will be played but you can bet your life their only intent is to salvage as much money as they can from this. If it drags on too long and people forget about it they won't even gain TV money so play it sooner than later and let's focus on the new season.

Thing is by the time it gets played, if at all, will be two totally different sets of players and two teams with massively different priorities anyway. Just be done with and cancel already.

You never know, but if Covid carries on for long enough we could end up holding the EFL trophy for 6 years too

Re: EFL Trophy Final. Enough is Enough?
I appreciate it's frustrating, chaps, but what exactly is it that you are expecting them to tell you, that you don't already know?GreenBlue wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 3:36 pmI think that is my frustration too SB.

They don't know when it will be played. They don't know IF it will be played. They don't know whether fans will be allowed to watch if it is played. They don't know how many fans will be allowed to watch if any are allowed at all.

Re: EFL Trophy Final. Enough is Enough?
I would like them to tell me how I can return some of the 8 tickets I bought should the friends I bought them for no longer wish to attend.Locky_McLockface wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 1:16 pmI appreciate it's frustrating, chaps, but what exactly is it that you are expecting them to tell you, that you don't already know?GreenBlue wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 3:36 pmI think that is my frustration too SB.

Once the date has been announced, if you can't attend you should contact the ticket office.GreenBlue wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 1:34 pmI would like them to tell me how I can return some of the 8 tickets I bought should the friends I bought them for no longer wish to attend.Locky_McLockface wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 1:16 pmI appreciate it's frustrating, chaps, but what exactly is it that you are expecting them to tell you, that you don't already know?GreenBlue wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 3:36 pmI think that is my frustration too SB.

Re: EFL Trophy Final. Enough is Enough?
I hope I'm wrong and this who dreadful COVID-19 saga comes to a swift and dramatic end but I get the feeling the date will not be announced.
How long can it be postponed for especially with next season's early rounds likely to kick off in the next couple of months.
If fail to qualify from the group this season, would we be the first club ever to be eliminated from a particular tournament/competition and yet win it in the same season?
Equally, if we go all the way in the competition again this coming season, I am pretty sure we would be the first team to win a particular trophy twice in the same season.
...and what are the chances of last years final being played after this years or maybe on the same day?
One for statto's out there. I'm pretty sure this was never in my Rothmans Football Handbook.

Re: EFL Trophy Final. Enough is Enough?
The EFL have handled this is a shambolic manner IMHO.
No further announcement since they postponed the match - date TBC, that was best part of 5 months ago FFS !
Meanwhile one of the organisations (?) is sitting on the funds generated by the sale of 50k tickets to loyal Pompey fans like us !
EFL need to announce the date for the 19/20 Final before the 20/21 competition commences OR offer those that no longer feel able (or wish) to attend the match a refund in full.
Rant over
PUP !
