Albion get Paint pot first round bye

[dougdeep]

Now I understand. BBC Sussex said we had got a bye in the League Cup Trophy. I was wondering what the hell it was.

Good news , another 90 minutes less to get to Wembley.

To be honest there are better things in footy than the paint pot but it is really just a bit of fun.

When I go to the new Wembley to watch a competitive football match for the first time I want to be part of a capacity crowd for a Brighton match that matters not some joke of a trophy like this.

Play-offs ...yes

Piss-pot trophy....no thank you, not interested and so much so that I'd be annoyed if we got to the final as I'd have to go (obviously, as its us) but it just wouldn't have that "hairs on the back of the neck" tingle that I got in '83 and '91 at the old wembley and at Cardiff so would not feel right.

Exactly, going to the paint pot trophy final at Wembley would be proof that we are supporting a tin pot club, which as Tier 3 we obviously are, let's not advertise it by getting all excited about winning it. Watch the BIG teams in this division get out of it as soon as possible, they know the embarrassment a Leeds/Southampton/Norwich/Charlton win would bring
