Bristol City FC ‏@bcfctweets · 1m BREAKING NEWS: Vanishing spray used at World Cup 2014 will be utilised in this season's Johnstone's Paint Trophy competition.
Perhaps that's what they used in L2 at the end of last season cuz Rovers vanished from the football league...
A good day out if you win it, as we last experienced in 2003 at Cardiff- I cant help but think that it cost us promotion that season though. There is no great prize other than a good day out and I would soon concentrate on the league, as the saying goes, either by nailing one of the two promotion places by right, or have a better day out at Wembley in the play off final as winners.
Good to get a bye in the first round. I suspect a bit of squad rotation in the early rounds - then if we get through to say the area semi then it starts to get serious. 2003 was a top day out
