No bad thing. With our record at Kenilworth Road, it might be helpful to have the chance to go there with a lead.

Because our home record is so awesome Edna

 

[ali jenkins]

id prefer it the other way round

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Because our home record is so awesome Edna

Fortunately, because I've sat there with my eyes shut for all our recent home games, I'm none the wiser and fully believe we've won them all with a dynamic and potent brand of football, thus re-establishing "Fortress Withdean"

Hope there will be more televised games in this comp before the final.

 

[Wilko]

oh FFS - i am away on Holiday on the day of the deciding game, f***ing bollllllocks.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Hope there will be more televised games in this comp before the final.

I believe the second leg game will be on the television.

Although it's likely to be Rotherham v Scunthorpe

Sorry to quote myself - but I have looked on 'tinternet and cannot find the answer to this question (it isn't even mentioned in the 'official' JPT rules!).

Am I correct in thinking that the away goals rule applies in the event of a tie after both legs and if the teams still cannot be seperated than the match proceeds straight to penalties??

That did not require a serious answer, Ackers!

Hope there will be more televised games in this comp before the final.

The first leg won't be televised that week as the Carling Cup semis are on Sky

 

[Silent Bob]

Not sure it makes a great deal of difference. There aren't away goals are there?

Surely even the people who hate this competition (rather than just ambivalence) have to admit they'd be gutted to go out now, Wembley is so close you could TASTE it.

 

[bristolseagull]

possible free coaches again according to DK

 

[ali jenkins]

When you can get a train for under a tenner im not sure there is a need for a free coach

 

[bristolseagull]

yeah I thought that.....

 

[ali jenkins]

When you can get a train for under a tenner im not sure there is a need for a free coach

Just re-read what I put and I meant to say, when you can get a train for under a tenner im not sure how popular the free coaches will be

 

[Simster]

Looking forward to all the squabbling on here over tickets if we have a lead going into the away leg.

We'll sell out won't we. Tin pot trophy or otherwise.
