Last seasons exit marked an uplift in form for us , all the other times we've still been in it have made our form dip.
Even if we got to the final I doubt anyone would be bothered about going.We only took 13000 for a play off final I doubt we'd take more than 8000 for this

Unfortunately , although Wembley still holds a bit of magic , them more times we go the less magic it has become .

The problem could be with the disappointments we've had at new Wembley

If we'd had any kind of success then maybe the thought of going back might be more attractive

My thoughts of the place though are spoilt by the recent outcomes and even more so by being ripped off to go there

I couldn't for the life of me begin to consider going to a Trophy final a week after say the Bristol Rovers game....just hope it wouldn't come to that next season but you never know

Didn't I read somewhere too that the Trophy & the Vase finals were going to take place as one event? Another reason for me to say hope we don't get anything going in this tournament

But if we go to both next season everyone who has booked to go to the FAT final will then have to face shelling out for another ticket in the play-off final before they have even been to watch the FAT game! I can see a lot of people deciding not to bother with the play-offs especially as they are a lot more expensive than the FAT.

definately hope PH sees the light this year and plays a team made up of "fringe" players.  Couldn't believe it when we had two goalies that the 2nd choice didn't get a game.  All that says to me if I was the goalie is what is the point in being here!?

This is an improvement but it should still be a;
a) Midweek competition
b)Starting Pre-season
c) with no replays
d) tightly regionalised
e)No two legged semi-finals - neutral ground

Until these things happen it will continue to get in the way of our league programme an therefore I would advise playing the kids until we get knocked out.
