JPT 2nd Round v Blackpool

[mr.hobblesworth]

They're beating Scunthorpe...

 

How much (roughly) does it cost to stage a game like this at Vale Park? Do we lose money? Does the opposing team get any of the gate receipts?

Yes, it is shared after expenses and deductions.

I wouldn't expect many, as they are either planning on boycotting the game or invading the pitch. Better get that ****** big Police wall in front of the Hamil then 😂😂 lol:

Nor me. Give me the FA Cup anyday over this tinpot trophy

Especially against the 1953 cup winners with a 42000 gate.

I hope that the wonderful (NOT) Karl Oyston is given the warm friendly,cordial reception that he deserves.Would be good to let him know just how much other football fan's besides Blackpool fans respect him for what he is doing.

But to be fair the earlier rounds are all midweek. The Wembley final is at the weekend. Not everybody can go in midweek or even afford to go..stop being so harsh.

 

Speak for yourself. I can only go midweek as I work Saturday afternoons.

 

Thanks Staffs Police - I can watch them play Millwall now. ;)

Good draw, slightly worried that they managed to win todayafter about 25 games without a win though.

Can we have the Railway stand open for this one and close the Bycars - only fair to make the 2 areas take it in turns to close.

Wonder who we'll get in the 3rd round.

 

We need to beat Blackpool first before u go on about who we will get in the 3rd round :).

Have you bought your binoculars to watch from the top of the citadel wall protected by crossbow wielding policemen who are cowering at the thought of super scary Millwall launching a (k)night attack

Of course, who watches football without optimism? Even if our hopes are only a narrow defeat and ignoring history. :)

Don't really understand getting wound up about other clubs troubles. They wouldn't have given a flying **** about us when we're in the **** only a few years a go.

 

**** them.

 

As a friend of mine says ' there is 92 league clubs, and I hate 91 of them'.

[mr.hobblesworth]

Well, your friend must be as hate filled and unpleasant as you are then.

 

There is a long tradition of fans rallying round clubs in crisis. From the Fans United days instigated by Brighton (I think) back in the '90s to the likes of Stoke fans (and players) donating to us last time we were in the brown smelly stuff, decent football fans have always seen through the blinkers of team loyalty and helped out those in need.

[cheshirevaliant]

Did Stoke players donate to us? I remember Pulis talking about how sad it was that we were in trouble, but then not actually doing anything to help (publically at least, he may of course have done something in private).

 

I wish Blackpool well and I hope we never go through their plight. Aspects of our continued overspending still do concern me though.
