Seriousish question

[Jeff Le Taxi]

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)! (-;

[Gemmel]

Two cups

[sotonjoe]

They bring out an inflatable one.

[Crazy Diamond]

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.

no chance of that...they will simply have two trophies...

Suppose they must have the real deal and a replica, so yeah it's possible.

[Micky]

Ok then, ok - what if THREE teams are neck and neck at the last game of the season....???

[Torres]

There's a replica of the replica. There might even be a replica of that.

Two girls with one cup I believe.

Christ! That means 4 helicopters. Oh no, wait......

That's why Pompey beat us to the Family Club Award then.

[SNSUN]

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... :-))

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.

[sotonjoe]

Which part of this question ISN'T serious? It seems completely serious to me.

It's OK, you can say, we all know who it is.

 

British Gas, right?

 

At least it's not fizzy pop any more.

British Gas, right?

 

But there are other energy supply companies available right?

I honestly can't! They have a filter for that name on every social network!

[Maggie May]

It'll be in Reading because Reading will win it.

[pedg]

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"

[Window Cleaner]

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.

well, as long as we beat boro...pretty fuking remarkable taking the title to the last day of the season.....no matter how you look at it

 

well, reading will beat palace...but who knows what brum team will be put out...

[Under Weststand]

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.

[Stu Man Do]

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!

[scotty]

Surely we have star trek style holograms available by now? Or teleporters?? ffs. I blame the lizards.

[Tamesaint]

If there is a replica of the Championsip trophy, what happens with the runners up trophy? If you remember we won one of those last season and I imagine there is one for the Championship.

 

Is there a replica of that trophy?

[Jeff Le Taxi]

Landing a helicopter on the centre circle at St Marys? .......after the last game of a title winning season? ....you take that

 

as serious?

[Jeff Le Taxi]

Sorry that was a reply to sotonjoes earlier question.

[hamster]

The trophy/trophies that teams receive are all replicas, the original is far too valuable to be handled by dopey footballers et al.

Depends if they cock it up i guess!

[Torrent Of Abuse]

There are 24 replica trophies and every team has one in case they win the league.

 

Except P*mpey. They've already sold theirs.

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.

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.

[stanthemanfairoak]

really?

[sussexsaint]

I want us to win it deep into Fergie time and have to parade around the ground with a hastily drawn sketch
