JPT Qtr final draw

[S-Clarke]

Just about to start on Soccer AM.....

 

We could face any of these....

 

Northampton Town

MK Dons

Leyton Orient

Hereford United

Norwich City

Swindon Town

Charlton Athletic

[saint lard]

Northampton at home,please....

[saints_is_the_south]

Northampton at home,please....

 

+1.

[oxfordshire_saint]

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!

[S-Clarke]

Northampton at home,please....

 

I'd go with that...

[saint lard]

Norwich/MK Don's V Charlton would be nice

[dickyhale]

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. I expect these people will be at Wembley if we get there. Wait and see

[S-Clarke]

Northern Draw...

 

Leeds v Grimsby

 

Accrington/Shrewsbury v Bury

 

Bradford City v Portvale

 

Chesterfield v Carlisle

[saint lard]

I think Leeds will cruise through to the final

[brightspark]

Seems easier to be a Leeds than all of us poor buggars in the south!!!

[Glasgow_Saint]

we got Charlton!!! at home

[saints_is_the_south]

MK Dons V Northampton

Leyton Orient V Hereford United

Swindon Town V Norwich City

Southampton V Charlton

[S-Clarke]

Southern Draw...

 

MK Dons v Northampton

 

Leyton Orient v Hereford

 

Swindon v Norwich

 

Saints v Charlton

[silversaint]

charlton at home

[S-Clarke]

cracking that we've got it at home....tough game all the same though.

 

has this competition ever had a draw like that?

[Toadhall Saint]

Yes - AP will have a real point to prove against Charlton

[alehouseboys]

Calm down, we got the biggest attendance in round. People were entitled to raise an eyebrow at having to pay £15 on the night for this competition, never paid that for a 'reserve' game btw, however, I'd guess the club will look at this again adjust prices accordingly.

[oxfordshire_saint]

At least it should attract a decent crowd!

[Block 5]

If we beat Charlton we will win this trophy.

[brightspark]

At least its at home. If you want to win a cup, you have to beat the best - that's what both teams will be thinking I feel!!!

[Smirking_Saint]

Lets prove a point to this division with this game

[Benj540]

What date is this game?

[Saint Charlie]

Home draw, can't ask for more than that. And if we win then the 2nd best team in southern section are out.

[S-Clarke]

What date is this game?

 

10th/11th Nov.

[JustMike]

pleased with this draw, if we are serious about this cup then we have to beat the better teams. hopefully the crowd will be better, they should bring a few too. Oh and AP, im sure would love it if we beat them ;-)

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

[Tac-tics]

beat Charlton, we'll win it.

[saint lard]

That's a tasty draw.

Will be difficult,however not beyond us to go all the way.

[Glasgow_Saint]

beat Charlton, we'll win it.

 

what if we get Norwich away in the semis and then Leeds in the final?

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.

[Toomer]

Beat Charlton there will half a chance of a good day out at Wembley

[Brussels Saint]

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!

[Colinjb]

what if we get Norwich away in the semis and then Leeds in the final?

 

Simples.

 

Beat them, we win it.

[Minsk]

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.

Hang on, that means there are 4 rounds to go, not three. So why is this referred to as a "quarter final" ?

[Saint_clark]

Because there are two finals.

[alpine_saint]

Because there are two finals.

 

Ah.

 

Its like the NFL then

[Saint_clark]

I hope they move the kick-off time back at least half an hour, I really want to go to these games.

[saint boggy]

we also have the FA Cup round 1 and 2 draws in November......if we get drawn at home for both of those (providing we get through round 1,obviously), we will have 5 home games in November!!!!!!....:smt103

SMS will start to feel like our 2nd home!!!.....

[Andy_Porter]

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.

[jam]

Ah.

Here's the competition page on the FL site:

The panel on the right shows the structure; regional final is two legs then a day out to Wembley.

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.

[Scudamore]

They've reformatted the competition have they?

[Tac-tics]

what if we get Norwich away in the semis and then Leeds in the final?

 

we'll win

[westofshannonsaint]

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!

[Pilchards]

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.

That's total rubbish.

 

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

[hamster]

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.

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.
