Is the Johnstone's Paint Trophy now 'important'?

[Withdean Wanderer]

It is as far as i'm concerned.
We've f***ed up promotion hopes - but could still win a trophy. Swindon at Withdean is a decent draw.
Win that, and we're 3 games from Wembley, and the chance of some SILVERWARE.

Bring on the Robins!

It's important and I agree we could win it.

Don't agree promotion hopes are f***ed up though.

I woudn't call it 'important' I would call it a 'welcome distraction' from the league. I think if we come mid table and win the paint trophy, Adams will be let off the hook... so I suppose in some people's view it could be labeled as important.

I also don't really want to get promoted this year as we'll come straight back down again (if we did). We still could get into the playoffs though.

The good thing about the paint trophy is it is a day out at wembly, and I wouldn't really give a shit if we won or lost.

 

[MORTY]

We'll need to be 3 up after half an hour to stand a chance

I like the paint pot and have always done in its various forms. The games tend to be a bit less fraught than league games and a bit more enjoyable as a rsult, usually because - really, at the end of the day - you're not going to go home gutted if we lose. It's also extra games on the cheap - ten quid total for me and my daughter against more than three times that for a league game.

I've always seen it as an important competition, as it's easily winnable and a decent prize fund.

Won't somebody think of the marketing opportunities; the tee-shirt, the DVD, the duvet cover and pillowcase set

 

[ewe2]

I bet we sell all our tickets for a wembley final......and why not.....a grand day out !

 

[trueblue]

We've f***ed up our promotion hopes?

In October?

What planet are some of you people on?

 

[Trigger]

I think staying up is the important thing.

 

[dougdeep]

I'm only here for the glory.

 

[Questions]

Might be our best bet for a full blown arguement on glory hunters and poor ticketing policy if we get to Wembley in the JPT surely.

Leicester v Brighton final in the JPT would be quality. I'd imagine it's what the representatives of the JPT would like.

They'd definitely have 30,000, and we'd have near that I reckon.

i didnt realise promotion was decided in october? it only takes a 3 or 4 wins in a row and we will be right back up there again...you really are a complete and utter twat ww

Thanks, but given that we haven't won in eight games and put in some disgraceful performances, i'm not hopeful of us winning 4 in a row and then maintaining that sort of form.

Both ends would sell out

Vitally important ! - ideal opportunity for us to get out of the family stand and watch from the North or South Stand. Also, the kids love evening games too.

 

[Lord Large]

Be nice to get to the final.

Financially as much as anything.
