Play the first team v Notts as more of a priority (prize money & possibility of a decent draw IF we win)
Play fringe / youth v Pompey limiting the possibility of injuries to regular first team players...
aslong as we don't play full strength at pompey I couldn't care if we send our women's or multi disabled team it's a crap competition that's not worth the hassle. We got a good chance of fa cup 3rd round for first time in years and more cash should we get big prem team than we would even if we win sh1ty trophy

If we lose to County we might have to put out a full strength team at Pompey. Lose to both and the chance to make any "big money " has gone.

However my main concern is that we get front line players injured in what is a pointless compeition, I would much rather that we put out the under 18 side for the Pompey game.

Trouble is you HAVE to play a number of first team regulars in the "pointless" game......so there will be some players who are asked to play at least a part in both games.

From the Officials appointments list:

Has someone already let slip that we won't be fielding our strongest team?

i think there is a lot more scope for getting around the problem of "4 qualifying players"...................i thought they had scraped all this completely - obviously not.

To me this looks like rules made up by organisers who know they are running a Mickey Mouse competition.

If we lose to County we might have to put out a full strength team at Pompey. Lose to both and the chance to make any "big money " has gone. Precisely - a win against Pompey is worth good money too; which you hinted as well

iPlayer for me. Isn't there a rail strike (South Western Trains) on down there just to make it more congested if you do travel (one way or another).
