Taking the 'paint pot' seriously yet?

[hans kraay fan club]

we're only 4 wins vs League 1 clubs from a trip to Wembley and a chance for some HUGE silverware?

I'm fully in agreement with WW on this one.

Just to be PEDANTIC though;

Only 3 [in fact possibly only ONE of the four games are against L1 sides. As many as three could be L2.

Whilst we are still in it, it's important!

 

[Brighton till i die]

personally not that fussed about it.
by that i mean i want us to win (as with every game), but i will NOT be cut up if we loose.

...as a man of my word i stick to my statement that IF we reach wembley i will NOT go as i deemed it tin pot and crap in the early rounds.

I agree with that, however dates permitting I will be at Wembley if we get that far!

At the end of the day its a trophy, it may be a shit one but its still a trophy.

 

[Djmiles]

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

Ah ok, but still £100k isn't something to turn your nose up at.

Gate reciepts of a Wembley final wouldn't be scoffed at...

 

[Zesh Rehman]

I want to win so I can go to Shrewsbury

 

[Gav1901]

Im bothered about every game we play , il be at every home match of the season no matter how shitty the match is . i hope we can get to wembley in the JPT because it will be a great day out and hopefully a trophy

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.

full agree with that

 

[champion7]

I'm in totol agreement with WW, i've taken the paint pot seriously since the beginning as it's the only trophy we can realisticly win.

 

[mr sheen]

I would love it, love it, if we were to win the Paint Pot.

 

[Slough Seagull]

I want to win so I can go to Shrewsbury

It is important to me as I want us to win EVERY game and the bonus for this game is that there would be a new ground to visit if we do win.

 

[countrygull]

When were we last at Wembley? 1991. 17 years ago. I would love to go back - and take my son with me, who's 11 and consequently hasn't seen any glory years. I was working out with him the other day - and on average in my Albion watching lifetime (since 1974), they only get to Wembley once per 8 years (including Cardiff 2004). Get there this year and we can take that average down to once per 7 years.

 

[ali jenkins]

Its a piece of silverware that we can realistically win, we must be one of the favourites now?


Im breaking my JPT record of every game this season tonight but I hope to reniew it at the SREWS

 

[Mendoza]

All we had to do is beat Barnet, Leyton Orient, Swindon, Shrewsbuy, Luton/Walsall and we are here...

 

[Simster]

What are the chances of Adams taking it seriously. He wasn't even taking our league position seriously 3 weeks ago.

 

[Silent Bob]

it is a quarter final

In reality the NEXT game is the quarter final.

 

[Hannibal smith]

, it is a quarter final and still no one wants to go

Well sort of. Its the Southern area Q/final. If we were playing this at the right time there would still be 16 of 48 teams left. Not exactly a momentus acheivement.

I think I have only watched one of these tinpot games in 30 years and we lost that 5-1 to Notts County. I wont be doubling my tally tonight.

I know, but if you are going down the marketing route, to the uninterested fans, quarter final on the road wo Wembley sounds mildy interesting for a TENNER
