Checkatrade Trophy 2018/19 Season

[Southender]

After those games we have the semi final draw as follows:

Bury v Portsmouth
Bristol Rovers v Sunderland

Good luck if your team is one of these.

[Macca]

Bury is flying high in League two and Portsmouth form has took a nosedive after leading League one for ages.
Looks like they could miss out on automatic promotion.
So Bury might get a scalp here.
Sunderland should win Bristol Rovers so it will be Sunderland v Bury in the final.
While anything could happen there I think that Sunderland have a more professional squad to win it.

[Southender]

Sunderland should win Bristol Rovers so it will be Sunderland v Bury in the final.

Well it turned out that Sunderland will play Portsmouth in the final.
The Checkatrade Trophy Final is at Wembley on the 31st March.
The scramble for tickets is now on.
Good luck to supporters on the day.
Should be a decent game of football for the neutral on TV.

Should be a decent game of football for the neutral on TV.

A third division game
But good luck to Portsmouth and Sunderland supporters.
May the best team win.

A third division game

The people who run the competition couldn't wish for better teams to be in the final. Two teams steeped in history and tradition.

Two teams steeped in history and tradition.

Agreed and its so sad to see them in the lower leagues.

[Southender]

This will be the first cup win of the season won't it?

[Dreamer]

Its Portsmouth who won it.
The game finished 2-2 after 120 minutes (1-1 on 90).
Pompey won 5-4 on penalties so well done to them.

[Southender]

Yes indeed, and for the neutral it was a decent game.

[Bruno]

I thought it was a good game it was eventful at least
