oxfordshire_saint Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 I want Swindon away, so they can go and bury the demons of what was probably our worst display of the season. Swindon wouldn't recognise our team this time around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickyhale Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 Any one home but wait and see all the SO called fans moaning about price, we not going and no more than a reserve game.

It was 10 quid in advance TBF At a tenner a time we aren't making much money on the game - 9,000 - with the kids in there probably about 60k in takings. It is meant to try and make people buy in advance so the club can staff the game properly, open enough stands/refreshment areas/stewards order enough pies etc If fans couldn't phone up or internet to get the cheap ticket then the club has to open up the ticket office and staff it for a possibly large walk up. If 15 quid is such an issue then save 33.3% by going online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 15 quid is such an issue then save 33.3% by going online I wouldn't argue with any of that just that, for a competition with little appeal for many and always one of those games that would attract a last-minute-decision, £15 was a bit steep on-the-night. Maybe not such an issue for buying in advance next time what with the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brussels Saint Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 Ultimately to get to the final, its likely we would have had to play Charlton at some point, so to get them at home is a big plus. IF we knock them out, my money is definitely on a Wembley trip in March v Leeds, 90K fullhouse........Magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsk Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 what if we get Norwich away in the semis and then Leeds in the final? Beat them both AND whoever we get in the game in between. FYI, after we have beaten Charlton we will have a one legged semi (hopefully at home again) then a two leg Southern region final, and then our day at Wembley probably against dirty Leeds.

Andy_Porter Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 We can beat anyone in the JPT at home so getting Charlton doesn't really matter. Should get a decent turn out for that one if it's 7.50 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should get a decent turn out for that one if it's 7.50 again. Yep, realistically we should feel confident to beat Charlton. They couldn't beat us at their place and we've strengthened since then. If the players don't think that they can beat any team in this competition then something is wrong. Although it is noticeable that we can be unsettled by teams getting in amongst us. I hope Pardew is trying to address that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westofshannonsaint Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 So, now that we have Charlton at home, should we put out our strongest 11 and take this "worthless" cup seriously? my vote is yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 To be honest with you, the quickest we get knocked out the better chance we have of reaching the championships. That's my gut feeling however the chance of saints fans going to wembley is a dream come true as I still hear the Cardiff 2003 experience ringing in my ears now.

We need to get the winning feeling back and that includes tinpot cup games. It's only another 4 games if we get to the final and winning it would be a massive boost to the fans, players, owners, city etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 I think Leeds will cruise through to the final Like they were gonna walk this league 3 years on the trot? This is why we love cup competitions, 2 teams, 90 minutes, 1 winner. Even if Leeds get to the final, there would on paper be 3 or 4 Southern teams that should give them one hell of a game at wembley. personally I don't think that they will make it though.

hamster Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 The final is on March 28th, I have told mrs h that I would like tickets for my birthday, a night in the smoke with show and dinner the night before and I will be a happy fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
