So the checkatrade trophy (sound effect of advert clip) right, thanks for that It seems to be a
very controversial issue particularly within the reaches of lower league football ever since they
introduced the possibility of Premier League B teams being introduced Now the biggest issue
for many fans with the Checkatrade trophy (sound effect) really? is that the money made from
the competition is miles apart between the top billionaire mega clubs and the smaller less
profitable clubs. I think I read yesterday that it was the lowest ever attendances since the start of
the millenium for over 50% of all the clubs involved Yet at the same time if clubs follow all the
rules and regulations and win then they will actually recieve 10k, which for a lower team is a
massive sum of money As always though we want your thoughts on the Checkatrade trophy
(sound effect) please stop this Right see you in a few minutes please call in I mean seriously

Trophy
(vox pop) (20 seconds)
So there you go, a pretty mixed response, but some very interesting and passionate points
made there clearly there’s a long way to go in solving this heated debate
Right, moving on and Grimsby Town have secured a crucial victory over relegation rivals
Chesterfield The Mariners now have virtually guaranteed their safety in the Football
League,meaning relegation strugglers Barnet Chesterfield and Morecambe will now battle it out
to remain in League 2. Clearly, Mariners fans were extremely delighted after the match with
many taking to Twitter to express their relief and sheer delight at the closure of if i'm honest a
brutally miserable season for the black and whites
