No JPT Bye

[itchen_dan]

Echo reporting that Saints aren't getting a bye in the JPT first round this year.

 

Shouldn't hamper our chances that much of retaining it by having to play that 1 extra game

Now on OS as well http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2106640,00.html

What's the criteria for giving byes then? Seems ridiculous that we got one last year but not this one, despite being the holders.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

So we get to beat one more team on the way to retaining our trophy then? Fine by me.

[trousers]

Does not matter as we'll be concentrating on the league this season. Hopefully....

[La BoIS Saint]

This was reported ages ago. If you get a bye one year you can't have one the next. Seems fair.

[100%Red&White]

Chuck the kids in.

 

Bigger fish to fry this time.

[Marsdinho]

Would be funny if we were drawn with Bournemouth - to beat them 4 times in a season would be FAF.

Agreed, kids and fringe players, give them a chance to prove the want / good enough for 1st team football

Thanks to the the ECHO for keeping us up to date with whats going on. If we had to rely on the OS we we would still be in the dark ages

Don't forget the rules say you have to play most of your first choice team - to be honest we were really lucky to get past Torquay on penalties last year. No matter how good you are, cups need a big slice of luck, so another final in the coming season would be a major achievement, and concentrating on the league may be forced on us anyway.

JPT needs saints to be drawn at home in all rounds to get record number of fans again after we made up a massive percentage of fans last season

The OS is just for important stuff. None of this Micky Mouse cup nonsense.... ;-)

[Andy_Porter]

Aldershot away would be fun.

the official JPT website for you ;-)

[Deano6]

Ok, bye. See you later.

[Andy_Porter]

I must be the only one looking forward to the JPT this year. Would be pretty special if we could retain the trophy, hopefully a few away trips along the way - getting the easy St Marys draw every time was a bit dull last season.

[S-Clarke]

I'd love us to do a league and cup double....

[St Chalet]

Nothing to fear in the draw except Swindon who turned us over twice last year.

[Turkish]

this is outrageous.

[Dave Benson Phillips]

I hope we get to the final again, and the play-off final.

 

10 coaches to the Green Man for each of them.

Your level of hypocrisy on this matter is absolutely f*cking disgusting.

[Dave Benson Phillips]

Your level of hypocrisy on this matter is absolutely f*cking disgusting.

 

What is hypocritical? Do enlighten me?

[Turkish]

Your level of hypocrisy on this matter is absolutely f*cking disgusting.

 

there was no need to include the words 'level of hypocisy on this matter is'
