JPT

[algie]

Think the draw is this saturday.I don't think we should take this comp to seriously as our main aim is promotion.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I would agree with that. The only way to make a profit from this tournament is to reach the final and it would be pointless to burn ourselves out with an extra five games or however many we were to play in.

I think we should take every competition seriously !!!

 

[algie]

A little run in the FA cup and Coco Cola cup is enough.Hopefully we get a tough draw away.

This is a competition that should be used to try out players who wouldn't normally get into the first team.

We really just want home ties in the JPT thingey.

No because we lose to much money

We do on any game.

But it does mean progressing is easier and half the time the southern section of the Daffy Duck Cup is not very southern.

Do you think we'll get Man City in the first round?

wouldnt bet against them giving a League 1 or 2 side a run for its money.....strong at the back and with some first teamers to come off the bench. The only real doubt (as with the first team lacking McLeod and Murray for Saturday) is can they create and score enough goals?

 

[algie]

Rather Gargan in there.Little and large partnership.

Hell no. I just don't think we should bust a gut trying to get to the final, when there are bigger fish to fry.

More than happy to go and watch the games, as they are cheap and generally quite entertaining as they have been in the past.

Think part of the competition rules is that you have to fill at least 5 first teamers who have played at least 75% of first team games.I remember Mad Dog subbing 3 players early in the first half.

I have a feeling it is more than 5. Remember the game you mean, did not help MK's season that year though.

I think they got fined as they didn't have enough regulars in the team anyway. I remember Izale McLeod 'limping' off.

Rule 7.3 Each Club shall play its full available strength in all matches. The Board will from time to time issue a policy as to what constitutes ‘full available strength’. Any Club failing to meet this requirement will be required to pay a fine of up to £5,000.

Bit of a joke. All/most clubs make a loss and run the risk of picking up injuries, which does not help a small club trying to gain promotion/stay in the league.
