ShireBlue Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Never minded the JPT personally. Bit of midweek football and a chance for fringe players to get a game (or run around for 90 seconds and get red carded). But this is :censored:. West Brom reserves away on a Tuesday? Nah.

singe Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Those suggesting we put our Youth teams in, because of brilliant negotiation capitulation, we have to field full strength teams with a moveable definition for anyone that tries to get round the regs, whereas the Prem teams don't. rule 7.5.

NewBlue Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yep, the irony of that :censored:ty 'strong team' rule to uphold the integrity of the competition, then PL teams come in with their 4th string side. These kind of decisions by OUR club to allow this to happen detach me further from the regime. They literally don't give a single flying :censored: about fans, do they.

Stagger Lee Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Surely to god we can now throw our B team in. How much is it to register players? We could raffle off a first team game for fans.

This has serious potential beyond the initial laugh and giggle squad of 15 players from the OAFC fan base paying a fee of 500 pounds to get an official first team game against Man Utd or Chelsea (subject to medical). They get to keep their kit and other mementos for ever. Once in a life time opportunity because the football league will sure as hell change the rules afterwards. Sure we may loose 35 - 0 but it will actually be a financial win for the club, a big FU to money football and a life long memory for the 'chosen' fans. Do it!

Would be a big statement and middle finger to the authorities! Even if its the club happy to stump up the 5k.

Sign some retired Latics legends on a match to match basis, they would beat the Prem kids. Who would you choose who could still do a job?

Well if it's ones who could still do a job, at least in terms of being fit enough, I imagine it would have to be relatively recent legends and I don't think we would have enough for a starting 11! Who would you choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I have always liked the JPT. I'd be relatively happy with finishing 17th and winning the JPT. A chance, as an adult, to watch my footballing idols walk out at Wembley would be something I'd treasure forever. I was more gutted after the Chesterfield game in 2012 than I've ever been after a match before. But this can seriously suck my balls. Whoever decided this is a :censored: of the highest order... Hear hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
