Jeff Le Taxi Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 What happens to the Championship trophy if Saints and Reading are neck and neck on the last Saturday? Seeing as we both have early kick offs does the cup sit at a motorway service station halfway between the two games? Are there two cups? Do they land a helicopter on the centre circle (might be a bit congested)! (-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 For this scenario in Scotland they have it on board a helicopter and it's flown to the ground. A few years ago I think Rangers were dicking over a team and they knew they'd win the title so they were airborne and arrived in time for the end of the game.

SNSUN Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I believe the team that is most likely to win the league before kick off get the proper trophy, and the other side use a replica. I may be wrong though. I assume this means Reading will see the real trophy before us. (We'll see it the following day, after it's been shipped to SMS to the winners of the league... :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adysaint Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I do actually work for the energy supply company involved. I'm going to email their Sponsorship Department and ask what their plans are. Will post back. Imagine its a replica for both teams. That trophy IS SO OLD over 100 years. They brought it to our head office last season for photos and you weren't allowed anywhere near it. Not even with the white glove thingys on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedg Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 It will get to the point where the winning team should be about to lift the cup when the announcer will say "Unfortunately the trophy could not be here today to be picked up, it did however send this comical video message" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 It'll be in Reading because Reading will win it. Birmingham away is sh*tty game if they still need a result to guarantee not playing either West Ham or Blackpool in the first round of the play-offs.Could well go down to the wire but you'd have to say that Reading are the favourites.

Under Weststand Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 The real one will be at Brum in case Reading win! There will be a card board cut out wrapped in tin foil at Saint Mary's in case Reading slip up! HTH I'm sure they have a replica trophy for instances like this! If it looks as likely Reading will be in the box seat. I imagine the replica would be at Saint Mary's just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Man Do Posted 18 April, 2012 Share Posted 18 April, 2012 I cant explain just how much I want us to be equal points to Reading due to some remarkable un-Crystal Palace like football on Saturday. I've never wanted Palace to win anything ever ... Just this once lets see a Reading team LOSE to a flukey 1-0 late late show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a Portsmouth fan on a train at Eastleigh spotting my Saints shirt and getting out a bottle of Coke. He then pointed at it repeatedly as if to take the ****. Not long after that, they went into administration. I think that's a 'LOL' moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to SSN yesterday morning loads of Reading players were all battered from their celebrations and didnt turn up to training. I reckon Palace might get a draw and we could be 1 point off them meaning they need to win at Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
