I'm not knocking it, nice to even be in the draw...glad we're out of the FA 'Mickey Mouse' Cup anyway.

Wembley bound? We shall see :)

I'm not sure I could do another Wembley day out.  Third time lucky, maybe?

Best possible draw.

Hope Newport beat Peterborough and we get through, would rather an away night at Newport than back up to P'boro again.

One in four chance of being on the box as well.

Which could mean it's on the Monday or the Wednesday, Stevenage are in the FA Cup the weekend before so unlikely to be the Monday...Tuesday/Wednesday...all depends on if there's Champions League on that week....oh how we need to bow down to that.

If anything is on tv it will be Newport and posh, I'd rather watch that If I was a neutral.

Draw has been kind.

I reckon we will do it.....

Walsall v posh on TV on Monday night, so they might not want to put them on twice in a small period of time. But yes, agree as a neutral that game is probably more interesting.

What was the north draw?

Fleetwood Town v Rotherham United
Olham Athletic v Chesterfield.

There are no easy games in the JPT..

Damn it, I think we are now over the line of "worthless trophy" and into the hope of another Wembley visit. Surely not..

The FA Cup is the 'worthless' trophy, did you not get the memo?

Damn it, no. Can I have an official designation of the following then:

FA Cup- "Worthless"
League Cup-
JPT -
Champions League Final -
World Cup -

Champions League Final -

League Cup - Mickey Mouse
JPT - The New Champions League
Champions League Final - basically Sunday league compared to the JPT
World Cup - that competition that England nearly win every four years...going by the sense of entitlement...

FA Cup- "Worthless" sold it's soul by the FA. Saturday evening kick off times on same days as other matches = shite competition.
League Cup- Under-rated by good competition.
JPT - Shite until there are only 4 teams left.
Champions League Final - Sold by UEFA, soon to be ignored by a lot of people.
World Cup - See above, won't be long until FIFA sell this tournament's soul too. Limit the availability and note the decline in interest, for reference see 'The Ashes'.

I reckon it is written in the stars that we are going to get the opportunity to to right the wrongs of our last visit to Wembley.

Swindon vs Chesterfild in the final..

'bout time we started arranging a townend.com singing section at Wembley after the last powder puff effort


Title: Re: JPT semi-final
Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Saturday, November 16, 2013, 15:34:57
The whole Swindon end could learn the players' names and sing?...

Just a suggestion :)

After the last diabolical showing, only a segment of those plastics will show. If it happens we need to bunch up and make amends with our vocal chords

I was in the so called 'singing section'....

Fella next to me says 'Who's number 8?' met by the answer of 'Simon Ferry, I think he's on loan from Celtic'....

That was at the JPT game, not the Playoff one too!!  :doh:

It would have helped if at ANY point in time, we had looked like scoring... Both of the two games at the new Wembley have been as dull as they were disappointing.

A good draw at home and hopefully be a bigger crowd than last round considering we at home to carlisle 30th Nov then not home again till Cov on Dec 21st.
Will probably be cheap again ( Posh doing their home games at a fiver in that comp ) at a tenner .
Not bothered about being on tele if means ppl stay at home
