My son informs me that NO team has EVER done the double (JPT plus WIN their league). Preston won the cup - and got promoted, but not as champions - therefore no double. History is there to be made ......... unless anyone knows differently?
Birmingham won it in 95. Found this site http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Football_League_Trophy_Finals.html Apart from the Stoke final 75k the attendance in this competition for us has been poor even though we sell our allocation. Bolton 54k Mansfield 58k Carlise 50k
Yeah it was said when got past Gillingham that no team has done the double for 20 years. We will still make history if we win it though as we would have won the Football league cup more than any other team (3)
That's because of the Corporate Allocation - 'Club Wembley' or whatever they call it - there will be loads of empty seats, reserved for the Prawn Sandwich Brigade - who won't bother turning up, denying genuine City or Walsall fans the chance to see their team at the national stadium. It makes me VERY angry......
Talking of attendances, very disappointing that we got under 11k last night. We should be selling out every home game given the latest run we're on and our league position.
