Assuming we beat SWINNERS, who do you want in the next round of the JPT?

[Arthur]

I think it's the Bakerpolitan line.

Cripes that sounds technical! Just need to think "what is my favourite flavour of ice cream?". Only trouble is I tend to get answers wrong when I'm under stress!

Going to have to be the velcro shoes that day to save brain power for the undertheground!

 

[Silent Bob]

Because whilst I would love to see the albion soccer at Wembley, doing so in this competition against a shit outfit such as Rotherham would be a huge anti-climax. It's a tin pot trophy purely for tin pot clubs, and at 21 years old I don't want to accept we're tin pot just yet. Winning this would prove we are.

How does WINNING in a competition, albeit a ridiculous one, make you more tin pot than LOSING in it. At home. To Swindon bloody Town. Surely just ENTERING puts you at a certain level, and then you can improve your level the further you get. Be the best damn tin pot club we can be!

it is the brighton audience on saturday, my mate's on it.

TERRIFIC line. Good work.

 

[Icy Gull]

Has it really come to this? Getting excited about the most Micky Mouse trophy in League football. Not interested, even if we get to a 1/4 full Wembley final. Be great for revenue etc etc but I cannot get exciited about it in any way.

 

[Silent Bob]

I used to like it when we put out our reserves and went out in the first or second round each year. We treated the competition with the CONTEMPT it deserves. All this playing the first team, winning games, and getting nearer a televised game where the whole country will be laughing at us is shit. To answer your question, if we go out in the first round then noone even notices, let alone remembers. If we get to the final it's an admission that we're a joke club who aren't competing for anything worthwhile.

I'm as much of an albion fan as the next man, as my 100% league attendance this season shows, but on Wednesday night I'll be hoping for a 1-0 Swindon.

Surely you are, by DEFINITION, less tin pot if you are noted for SOMETHING than being totally obscure?

 

[El Presidente]

It's Wembley, it's the Albion, and it's the most we can hope for this season. Unless people haven't noticed, we ARE a tin pot club, playing in a tin pot ground, with tin pot fans and a tin pot budget.

Anyone with loftier ideals than that is delusional.

All true and with the fact that it IS tinpot we'd struggle to take 20,000. We couldn't even make 30,000 for a playoff final to get into the Championship. I have no ambition to watch the Albion in front of a 3/4 empty Wembley. I hope when we get to Wembley again it will be for something meaningful in front of a nearly full house.

That play-off final wasn't at WEMBERLEY though, which is a more attractive proposition and a lot nearer for most fans than Cardiff. And we did take 30,000 there.

Depending on who we were playing, there could well be 50,000 there, which is a whole lot more than 1/4 full.

Is the venue important then? Never crossed my mind not to go to Cardiff. Are you suggesting that more people would go because it's Wembley regardless of the tin pottedness of it all?

Play off final or Micky Mouse Cup, which is a more attractive proposition regardless of the venue?

 

[clippedgull]

Think of the MONEY! Surely that's the aim, the actual trophy is secondary to cash rewards.

Anybody know what the cash reward for winning or runner up is?

Regardless of the venue, the PO is more attractive.

But the decisons people made wouldn't BE regardless of the venue, would they.

A lot of people would take the view that there was no way they'd pass up a chance to see the Albion at Wenbley.

 

[El Presidente]

No, the most we can hope for this season is PROMOTION. I'd say that is a) loftier than winning the JPT, and b) not delusional.

I would LOVE IT ((c) K. Keegan) if we came close to promotion, but can't see it this year unless we can keep some of our loan players. It is a sad indictment of the club that Thornton, Anyinsah, Richards and Johnson are better than what we have to offer, and the Fleetwood is certainly no worse.

I'd pass it up for twins.......blonde......Swedish

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Well OBVIOUSLY Presso. The choice was a. watch the Albion at Wemberley, or b. don't bother.

No-one mentioned c. enjoy a night of passion with blonde swedish twins and a large tub of coffe ice cream.

Tin pot it may be brain doner but we get a massive slice of the gate at wembley and money for winning! Money!!!!!!!!! We should take 25 000 there too

 

[Kenhead]

I presume that the draw will be on Soccer AM this Saturday?

So, when we line up against Swindon, we will have the ROAD to WEMBERLEY all mapped out.

The draw is in a few weeks time (Nov 29th) according to the football league website.
