I'm West Brom and I'm still in it. I want West Brom to progress so that coops' lad (a baggies supporter) gets to go to Wembley twice. coops, if they get through to the final I'll donate a tenner towards the cost. In fact if West Brom get through we ought to show our collective Tinpoticity by starting a Tinpot Terrace "Let's get coops' son to Wembley twice, fund". Should have tickets for the semi-final secured (thus missing our trip to Leigh RMI) through a friend but if they beat Pompey I'm going to struggle to get a ticket for the final, they'll be like gold dust. Of course if they win it I can start looking at little holidays in Europe!

Was Trafford, they lost to FC United who lost to Fleetwood who lost to Barrow who lost to Bournmouth who lost to Millwall who lost to Coventry who lost to West Brom.

Not a pain at all, I'm glad I'm not West Brom, but I still think we should try to get coops' lad to Wembley twice.

I'm not entirely sure who I am... I'd better check. [EDIT] I thought I was Cardiff City, but was mistaken. I did get to the quarter finals, but was knocked out by Giggy, who is of course representing Cardiff. As the object of the game was to see who could stay in longest, I spent several hours tracking EVERYONE's progress to see who was still in (there is actually an Excel spreadsheet!*). This would be: Giggy (Cardiff City) Martello (West Bromwich Albion) Sultan of Cannock (Barnsley) The semi-finals are West Brom v Portsmouth and Barnsley v Cardiff, which basically means that Martello gets a bye to the final where he will play either Giggy or Sultan. Ooh, exciting times! That bloody eastbourne fan gets good luck in EVERYTHING he does (apart from driving cars) Because I am dull, I shall post a summary of everyone's progress after it's all over. *am waiting up to make sure boyfriend gets home safely, rather than having no life or too much time on my hands

Post by Sultan of Cannock- SRFC on Mar 18, 2008 17:11:09 GMT
I've been suffering from lack of exposure to t'net due to suely-teenager-hogging -the computer- to-do -homework -that sounds- suspiciously-like-really-being-on-myspace syndrome and being unable to drag myself out of bed early enough to get on before going to work. Have seen things go from Maine Road > Skelmersdale> Southport> Northwich> Oxford> Sarfend> Barnsley. it's been a long and winding road but feel that it will end with me becoming yet another Giggy victim as Cardydd seem to have the air of a team of destiny about them. It's only fair really as Giggy has been much more diligent, informative and interesting than i have in this thread!

In fact if West Brom get through we ought to show our collective Tinpoticity by starting a Tinpot Terrace "Let's get coops' son to Wembley twice, fund". I can make a non-pecuniary contribution by suggesting that Coops and family could book a £29.99 night at the Travelodge, Wembley, situated a mere 2miles walk from the ground. If you turn right out of the front of the Travelodge and head about 100yds in the direction of the Hangar Lane gyratory, you will encounter a large Chinese supermarket called the "Hoo Hing". Go up to the cafe between noon and 3pm and eat there. I recommend the duck/pork platter with rice. The tea (chinese or english) is only 30p a cup, and a can of coke only 40p, absolutely astonishing prices for London. The dim sum soup was pretty good too. We ended up eating there saturday and sunday when we went up the smoke to see the first emporer thingy at the British Museum.

I like the sound of that, won't be doing an over-nighter for the semi-final though, we are on official travel coaches laid on (for free!) by my Son's school which is situated right opposite The Hawthorns.

Eastbourne Borough have played (and lost heavily to) Stafford in the past, but we've not had the honour of meeting Telford. So, c'mon Giggy!

I thought NAFI was claiming to be West Brom - and if he's not, I am . Started with Cadbury Athletic who lost to Alvechurch who lost to Quorn who lost to Evesham United who lost to Halifax Town who lost to Burton Albion who lost to Barnet who lost to Bristol Rovers who lost to West Brom, so there .

Thanx m8! When I visit a couple of GBG pubs, one of which supplies a certain type of beer from the Salisbury area, it usually has that kind of affect!! ;D

Absolutely right, my darling. You reached the 6th round proper, but you were knocked out by Martello as he was West Brom before you! Namesareforidiots, you were also knocked out by Martello- he was West Brom before that, too! In fact, he's been West Brom since the 4th round, when they beat Peterborough. I know the demand is high, but you can't all be West Brom, you know
