Exeter draw liverpool

[Wereskintandweknowweare]

The draw makes this pathetic team of bottles look even worse now

[Heatwave]

"This is what you would have won".

 

Even more depressed.

[soothsayer]

We know!!

Here we go again ! Had we progressed we would have been ball 49. We would never have heard of ball 51 if WE had gone through...Bolton at home I believe.

[ollyandpatch]

Portsmouth 48 Port Vale 49.

Even if we had been the same ball number, different things would have been said/done - it has been proved as a fact - we would not have had any more chance of drawing Liverpool than anyone else.

 

Just a cheap moan for those who should be thinking about the future, not looking back at what might have been. Anyway, we'd have needed the ground fumigated.

O.K so we would have got a team in dire straights at the moment, just ripe for the taking and then onto bigger and better games, But NO we bottled it .WELL DONE VALE.

How many times, we would have been ball number 51, that was the number allocated for the winner of the tie between us and Exeter.

Portsmouth 48 Port Vale 49.

 

It's only alphabetical for the Premier and Championship sides. The other numbers are defined by the order at which they were drawn for the second round. So we would have been ball 51. For instance, Bradford City were ball 45.

 

A massive massive loss for us this. Circa 250K revenue gone by my estimate.

 

To all the players. Read this thread and understand the anger of the fans now.

[VantaaVale]

Here were the numbers for anyone else who thinks we would not have got ball 51.

As you can see, it's alphabetical to ball 44, after that it's by the tie number from the second round.

Wrong, the Exeter v Vale tie was allocated ball 51!

 

Another nail in the coffin of Page and his bottlers. How much has that cost the club, 500k to 600k at conservative estimation I guess.

 

What a bunch of clowns, still I don't suppose they care less on yesterday's showing.

It gets worse. Not only won't we be playing Liverpool, we won't have a game at all that weekend. We were due to play Donny but they'll be otherwise engaged....

[soothsayer]

It's gone now we've got to move on despite the empty feeling. I'll be there Saturday and boy do they owe the fans a performance.

And now our game with Doncaster gets Postponed as they play our neighbours in the 3rd round. Oh Vale.
