IF this happens......then play the strongest U18 team we have ! I think they beat our u18s last year.

 

could be a good one, big crowd at St marys.

We better put out a strong team, none of this 16 year old to toughen them up shit.

 

I don't care, if a first teamer is eligable, put him in, JWP, Chambers, whoever (no need for DOBs MLG I don't care), put them in.

Anyone know what their youth team is like? Just want to know the likelihood of them beating either Stevenage or Barton.

Difficult to tell. They beat Moneyfields 12-0 in the first round, but you'd expect a professional academy side to give a local county/regional league side's first team a decent game.

 

Barton Rovers v Stevenage is tonight, so they'll know who they've got to beat in the second round after that. There's no replays in the FA Youth Cup, so it has to be decided on the night.

The struggled with the instructions the photographer gave for the team photo. But with the best fans in the world behind them, they have a half decent chance.

Does Luke Shaw still qualify?

 

Should this game come about I can't see too many first team regulars being chanced - you can imagine the kind of challenges going in when a feisty local derby and young hot heads are involved.

Barton beat Stevenage 1-0 in the last minute so the minnows Barton Rangers now go to Fratton Park to play for the priviledge of going to St Marys in round 3!!

 

surely skates have a good chance of getting through

The Skates must be chuffed about not having to face mighty Stevenage, given that their first team lost to them in the FA Cup.

 

Other than that, I really do not care about this game very much.

What would be more embarrassing for them? A hammering by us or a defeat to 'Barton Rovers?'

 

lets not get carried away, i seem to recall their academy beating ours last season (or might have been season before) .

 

they should beat Barton Rangers tongiht so we'll find out soon enough.

 

i think FA youth cup games have to charge a minimum of £3 adults, £1 kids, we'd get a good crowd in for that i think.

Yes, I didn't phrase that particularly well for the point I was trying to make.

 

Given the respective difference in standing we currently have (even greater then last season) would a defeat to Barton Rovers hurt their pride more then a defeat to us?

 

Yes, it can work both ways though, especially as we seem to be trying to fast track players forward leaving some of the lower age group teams a little exposed.

Yep, IIRC that's the (main) reason we lost to them last time out as most of our top youth players had been promoted to the U18s. Although I'm sure that won 't bother our friends down the road. They still celebrate beating a certain League 1 team in the FA Cup when they were still in the premier league a few years ago...

This time though it will be a cup game, so not limited to who is in our U18 or U16 academy squads , but anyone 18 or under at the start of the season i think, so we could play the likes of Chambers, Reed etc, which we should do as a) the FA Youth Cup is still prestigious, b) those players still need more experience playing in games at St Marys rather than Staplewood and c) i'd love to smash the skates and looks like we've got a while before that will happen at first team level.

i think if you gave Pompey fans the choice they would rather lose to non-league minnows Barton (what division are their first team in??) than lose to us.

Think we would but I can see this being played 'behind closed-doors' if it comes about - too many security measures required.

They could play it at Staplewood. No fans are allowed in while the building work is going on.

they'd surely only do that at the request of the police ? otherwise I think FA Youth Cup games have to be held at the main ground.

 

skates are 1-0 up after half an hour

I've got a gut feeling this will be behind closed doors.

 

I recall this game happening a few years back , I didn't go as was living away at the time but fans were allowed in at st Mary's , I believe it was restricted to showing saints season tickets or membership cards which they used to issue in those days

Barton are in the Southern League Central Division, which is below the Southern League Premier Division, the Conference South, the Conference and then you reach the League (2) that Portsmouth are in.

And they defeated this giant, this massive side.

 

One to nil.

 

I want to go to this game, I don't care if it's youth level.... this is a fair play of club v club, no transfer budgets, no excesses. This is infrastructure v infrastructure.

 

We shall gut them.

Much easier to administer, and when that's already the club's policy for dealing with the "inconvenience" of away ticket sales, I can't see them jumping up and down to have to deal with this headache.
