LDV Vans Trophy Draw In Full...

[fatbadger]

Well WE'RE at home. So WE'LL be wearing the stripes. So ner.

This game is going to be class!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Before the Fans' Forum at Corals' Stadium, I had a brief conversation with Steve Coppell, who was talking about Forest Green.

He reckons it's a really nice place with a lovely pub.

Thankfully, we're at home.



But don't underestimate the managerial skills of the great Colin Addison.

Technically you could tell the club you don't want this to be you free cup game. As it's not actually a cup game, it's call the LDV Vans Trophy

Didnt druggie spoonfoot codner play for them?

Today’s game:

Forest Green 2 – 5 Exeter City

 

[Zeitgeist]

If the club do try and make this game the "home cup" game for season ticket holders, it will be taking the piss out of people who have been paying over the top prices for sub standard facilities for a number of years now, with little complaint. Most are aware the situation the club is in, was not of the present boards making. It is usual custom & practise for clubs to reduce prices in the early rounds of this competition. Thus you could have a situation where a casual supporter pays for example £12 to get in while season ticket holders are using a "voucher" they have in effect paid around £20 for.

Don't even think about it Mr Perry! It would be one piss take too many!

Zeitgeist that is just the luck of the draw so they say

 

[Seagull Stew]

Just looked at that forum of theirs. They seem to be getting a little excited about playing such a big club.
Maybe they're looking forward to watching their team in a decent League standard stadium!

I have worried about exactly this scenario with the "First Cup Game" ticket since the season tickets were sent out. It was destined to happen.

HOWEVER, the club can't take the piss and should immediately announce that it will not be the match included in the season ticket pack.

I see it's on the official web site already.

Err, actually, there's no mention of tickets yet.

I'm there, gotta see the youngsters play, I even think SC will give Jake a 20min spell at the end if we're winning. Decent excuse to get pissed and watch the youngsters I say

Forest Green who?

this has indeed been posted already (at least twice) - and if you had read those threads, you would by now know much more about Forest Green Rovers. See the 'search' button at the top? That'll help you answer your queries.

 

[looney]

Thanks but I rarely stray of the front page, I also dont bother with the net week ends.

If its important it will bounce back up or be re-posted, like I did.

If the club make this our cup game I'm definately complaining cos I'm not taking an afternoon off work and driving a 150 mile round trip for a tinpot cup game. Cup ticket should be for FA or league cup only if you ask me

 

[Mr Popkins]

this cannot be our cup game!! if the club do this it is an outrage and an insult to season ticket holders!!

seeing as the F.A cup has not been drawn yet!

make the game £10 , and we might half fill withdean
, normal price you,ll get 2000 tops!
