Home Match Day Thread 2/2/2021 Papa John's Trophy OUFC v AFC Wimbledon

[werthersoriginal]

I'm going with Bella, Hello! and OK! magazines.

Plus Angling Today and New European!

Still think they should hold the finals back until fans can attend in reasonable numbers. I’m sure Lg1 and 2 teams could find a slot at the end of the season or beginning of next. We’ve missed one Wembley final already, it’d be a real kick in the teeth for fans, and the players, if we miss another one if we get there.

.... being on Sky presumably excludes ifollow coverage of the semi finals ?

Yup. Club gets good money from Sky though.

 

[Foley]

Both semi final ties to be shown live on Sky. Kick off 6pm Either Tuesday 16th or Wednesday 17th Feb.

Papa John's Draw and Final Date Confirmed

The EFL has today confirmed that a unique action-packed ‘Wembley Weekender’ of football will take place in March for the 2020 and 2021 Papa John’s Trophy Finals.

That game against Wimbledon was worth a lot of cash if you take account of the TV money here plus the money for winning on Tuesday.

The whole of football has been held to ransom by Sky TV since 1992. Ain't going to stop now!

More hope that the game will be on iFollow for us here on the other side of the Atlantic. But even then, it will depend on whether ESPN+ decide to show it........if they do, no iFollow.

I thought 6 PM seemed very early, but that's the midweek the Champions League returns. Hence us getting shunted back. Mind you, I don't suppose it makes that much difference at the moment what with working from home, but still a bit inconvenient.

It`s a summary of the ineptitude of the EFL.
Maybe they`ll do a double-header over a weekend....

Proof that the powers that be read this board.
Thank me later.

Just think though, the winners on the 13th get to hold the cup for less than 24 hours before giving it to the next holders.

If it is Portsmouth, they will add the 'Shortest cup holders' record (24hrs) to their 'longest cup holders' record from when they held the FA Cup from 1939 to 1945...

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Would it be the same trophy ? As this year it’s a different sponsor.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

They're calling the 2020 final the Papa John's too. Odd.

 

[Pillox]

Just think though, the winners on the 13th get to hold the cup for less than 24 hours before giving it to the next holders.

I imagine they will be devastated

 

[tonto]

I wonder if someone slightly famous will do the actual draw. Guess it depends on who is a pundit that night. Not sure if I can contain the excitement.
