Attendance tonight is 585 with 110 from Crewe @CheckatradeTrpy

To be fair, looks like English fans are boycotting the tournament in protest at u23 teams being allowed in. 

Something I'd love to see up here, incidentally, with the Challenge Cup. A complete joke of a tournament.

It is great to see. Managers have named themselves as subs, double figure away crowds and almost completely empty stadiums.

Here's hoping that our fans do similar on Saturday. I won't be at Stranraer and seen as we aren't running a bus I suspect very few other fans will be.

It's also £15/£10 for entry, which is a hilarious joke.

Anyone that listens to the Guardian Football Weekly podcast might have heard the normally chirpy Iain MacIntosh go on quite a rant about what has happened to the JP Trophy.

Probably one of the best executed boycotts I've seen at a recent football game.

Having a quick glance in the domestic cup forum I see that many people are boycotting/back boycotting the Irn Bru Cup games on the grounds that the u20's teams are a vanguard that will be used to put Old Filth 'B' teams in the lower leagues, effectively making non-Premiership football an abomination and joke. This (legitimate IMO) fear of the slippery slope seems to be why the English sides have boycotted last night. Is there any kind of organised country-wide boycott? 

I actually think the addition of welsh and NI sides is not at all bad and would not boycott the competition on these grounds. However, I do think the inclusion of the u20's sides is disrespectful and dangerous and back the boycott on those grounds.  What is the feelings among Rovers fans? Will anyone be at Station Park!?
