Would you go to Wembley to watch BHAFC in the Paint Pot ?.

[clippedgull]

The league is ALL that matters and I feel this worhless bit of silverware can be used as an excuse for what is shaping up to be a wholely unsatisfactory season.

It's very important from a financial point of view though.

OK, it's not going to clear our debts but I understand it's £250,000 to the winner plus gate and TV revenue etc

But yes, surviving in this division is the most important target this season.

So by time the whole competition is won, with the Shrewsbury game being on TV it will be about £1, 000, 000?

I simply could not turn down the chance to watch the team I love playing at a stadium like Wembley...now of course the JPT may not be the most prestigious of trophies, and in a dream world we'd all like to go there to watch the Albion in an FA Cup Final, but any true Albion fan surely has to take this chance should it come along...who knows when (or God fordbid, if) we might have another one?

Of course, let us not forget that we have to get past Shrewsbury and the Area Final first.

Can't see it being far off. I think Sky cover the two legged area final as well. I'm sure they covered both last year.

Am banking on it... Easyjet at the ready

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Quite simply, yes!

I would LOVE to know who the 4 no's are, and I suspect either they aren't Albion fans, or they are bullshitting!

 

[Nottseagull]

. I mean can you really take a competition that used to called the Sherpa Van Trophy seriously ?

Well 72,000 did in 1987 when Mansfield beat Bristol C on penalties (City took 40,000). A memorable day out, and the Civic Reception - still vivid 21 years on. Mansfield men are telling their sons and even grandsons "I was there"; let's hope you will be able to do the same in 2029!

93 yes
1 maybe
5 no

No way near thtat.The club loses loads of cash holding these matches at home.Prize money is crap.Doncaster got around 300k winning this.

Im one of the "no's" and reasons I have posted above. freedom of choice and fair lay if you want to go, but its not a day i would enjoy and so i'm a no.

A Great Day Out

Yes, I Think It Would Be The Biggest Away Following Ever! For Brighton 35,000+

 

[Ernest]

When is the final ?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I said no but in reality I may go depending on what is on tele that day and I do not have the clean out the Hamsters cage.

 

[Mr Banana]

Excellent! Keep us posted!

I may go to the shop and buy some milk in a minute, but in all honesty it depends if it is open and whether I can be bothered!

Tomorrow I'll probably go to the gym, although it's been shut for two weeks, and if I'm ill or tired I won't!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am thinking of making a mug of hot Ribena in a minute. I am not decided and will keep you updated as to the developements.

 

[Taybha]

Take my word for it, this will definately be an issue for the home leg of the Southern final (should we reach it).

 

[Djmiles]

Been to all the games so far, so would be rude not to.

Still a long way to go though.
