Taking the 'paint pot' seriously yet?

[Withdean Wanderer]

Is it only me who sees tomorrow night as a MASSIVE game?

We've ruined our league chances pretty much, a desperate hope of the play-offs is all we have.

It annoyed me to see "half-arsed" celebrations after the shoot out Borient win. Why is there more excitement about the FA Cup, when there's slim chance of getting a 'big draw' even if the club do reach the third round, and NO chance of winning it, yet now we're only 4 wins vs League 1 clubs from a trip to Wembley and a chance for some HUGE silverware?

Expect some SERIOUS pissed-offness from me if we balls up tomorrow night.

Johnstone's Paint Trophy Southern Section Quarter final? Long name, HUGE game.

Tin pot, paint pot

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Piss pot

Only the Wembley game is taken seriously

And only then by the two competing clubs

And only then as a Grand Day Out and a chance to flog a load of tat in their respective club shops

It really is the ultimate Losers competition, sort of the lower league equivalent of the Inter-Toto Cup

Oh my god - I actually agree with you - think I need to go for a lie down !!!

Best chance we've got of seeing the Albion at the NEW Wembley - how could anyone NOT take it seriously ?

 

[One True BHA]

yeh it's a big game. why would we not want to win it? what possible reason could there be to not take it seriously? a few quid, a bit of media coverage, televised games, game at the new wembley, maybe attract a few new fans for the final... good times.

EVERY game we play should be taken seriously

Is the correct answer.

Anyone on here saying "I don't care if we lose, because it's just the Paint Pot" is nuts.

£250k the winner gets for winning the final I think, hardly a tin pot competition.

Ile pass on that info to our defence

the amount of tickets sold is proof no one takes it seriously
2149 sold so far

It is £10 to get in and FREE for kids, it is a quarter final and still no one wants to go

£100k for the winners. The total prize fund for the entire competition is only just over £400k.

will you go if we get to wembley?

 

[Mendoza]

will you go if we get to wembley?

yes, I have been to all the games apart from Northampton away

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

This is our only realistic chance of getting to Wembley. A win tomorrow night also means live TV coverage on Sky of the Southern semi final. A storming run at the end of the season would also ensure a Wembley appearance in the play off final but thats a tall order.
