Vertu Trophy draw (now with Poll)

He’s on loan isn’t he

 

Nope. Permanent until the end of the season with the option of another year.

 

No. He's our player. We paid an undisclosed fee for him. Contract until the end of the season with the option of a further year.

 

Ok. That seems unique that a player would accept a 6 month deal with no guarantee of being retained.

 

depends on the deal he was given to leave after being told he had no future there

 

Any off them at home will do, whoever we get Birmingham, Wrexham , Bolton or Posh it will be a tough game.
Am i right in thinking there is no cash for losing in the semis. just £50k runners up and £100k for the winners plus share off Wembley gate receipts.
Lets hope we dont get Posh in the semis then, there wont be many there and no more cash if we lose.

I’d go just for a drunken weekend in London

 

Potentially if we draw the winner of the Wrexham, Bolton tie then the rearranged game against Bromley Away scheduled to be played on Tuesday 25th would be postponed again I presume.

 

The ball numbers for the #VertuTrophy Semi-Final draw have been confirmed.
Watch live on Sky Sports this Saturday.

 

Don’t understand the need for the tie involving the winner of Wrexham / Bolton to be the week after the scheduled dates. None of the 5 teams involved are playing midweek in week of 17th Feb, however, both us and Brum have a midweek scheduled the following week. Time for conspiracy theories

 

and just to ensure absolute fairness in the draw, a special set of balls have been commissioned.....

 

Sky don't cover Champions League so it should bother them ?.

 

They won't sell much advertising if they are competing with the Champions League on TNT

 

I'm not certain, but I seem to remember UEFA don't allow other televised games on CL match days
