EFL/Sherpa Vans/Vauxhall Motors/Johnstone Paints draw

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

We get to beat Blackpool and folk are bemoaning the draw. Who did you want? The fecking Little Lever under tens?

We already get to beat Blackpool in the EFL Trophy. No, sorry, EFL Cup. The other one, with the three handles. The one Tomo scored at Wembley in. That one.

[CrazyHorse]

True. But I'll never tire of beating Blackpool.

Boycott this bollocks

You'd be hard pressed to claim a boycott when there's a general lack of interest anyway

The run to the 1989 Sherpa Van Trophy triumph started with me and 2,694 others at Burnden watching us half-arsedly beat PNE 1-0

Defending the trophy started at home against Crewe - attendance 3,868

[Prufrock]

Wembley, though.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Wembley, though.

Yeah, a few more turned out for that one

Back to reality: BN says we've got two home games:

w/c August 29 Everton U23 H (between Charlton A and Southend H)
w/c October 3 Blackpool H (between Oxford A and Swindon H)

Speaking of the Sherpa Van Trophy, did anyone else call Stuart Storer "Shinners" or did I imagine the whole thing.

Just you, mate

Stuart Storer, blimey. He'd fit into our ugly XI. Up there with Beardsley and Wheater.

Can we get a 1 to 11 of ugly Wanderers all in their correct positions? I bet we can.

Barry Siddall in goal for one!
This Sherpa Van Daft Painting Trophy - might be more meaningful if the Northern finalists got a bonus point to add to their league, two for winning the NF, four for winning the Wembley final? Might concentrate a few minds into putting out proper teams early on?

I have very good reason not to go anywhere near the lovely town of Cheltenham.

That's all I'm saying.

Direct action?

There could well be if I was seen.
