Any idea why Kentish Town aren't in the competition this season

[Willo the Cat]

Yep - 'we' decided to use the entry fee to clear the clubs name of your mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rhodes]

I thought it might have been because they were humiliated last season by VCD Athletic, having not taken the match seriously, and didn't fancy it again

[kentish_town]

we sent the reserves last year so what was the point of entering this year? we know its gonna be a hard season so we can do without the london cup for a year.

[Rhodes]

Well Haringey Borough, Cockfosters, Kingsbury, Hanwell Town, Hoddesdon and Brimsdown Rovers all seem to take it seriously, why can't Kentish Town as it is a high profile competition.

[kentish_town]

its our first season in the prem and we wanna concentrate on that

anyway we have the prem cup,challenge cup,FA cup FA vase so im sure we dont need to be in anymore cups its gonna be a long hard season.

[Rhodes]

Yes fair point, I also suppose you didn't fancy running the risk of meeting Corinthian-Casuals

[kentish_town]

why? we could meet them in the FA cup anyway IF we beat wellingborough then croyden athletic and cor-cas win their game

we will meet but thats all IFS.

[Rhodes]

Yes but you didn't know the FA Cup draw when the Club didn't bother entering the London Senior Cup, it's a one in a million chance to meet Corinthian-Casuals in the FA Cup whereas there are far fewer teams in the London Senior Cup.

[Willo the Cat]

I'm no statistician but I think the odds may be:

 

yes we beat Wellingborough or no we dont = 1 in 2 or 1/2

We beat Croyden after beating Wellingbourgh = 1 in 2 or 1/2

 

you times the 1/2 by 1/2 =1/4

 

The odds of Corinthin Casuals winning their game is err 1 in 2 or 1/2.

 

I think and someone maybe able to put me right that gives us a chance of meeting each other as

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

it cant work that way otherwise KTFC would have a chance of winning the fa cup of about 32,248.6 to 1 this year, and that wont happen as the final's not til next year.

 

glad to have helped clarify

[Willo the Cat]

You could be right the TSF - I would rename the odds to probability but I cant be ar5ed

[Rhodes]

Thanks for the statistics however I was only trying to find out the real reason why Kentish Town didn't enter the London Senior Cup, the excuses I've had so far seem a bit lame

[kentish_town]

so you think we didnt enter the bloody London cup because we was scared of maybe meeting Cor-Cas then more fool you,i dont think we should enter the FA cup because we might meet Liverpool or Man U.

[bosman08]

Rhodes I think maybe the squad might be a bit thin on the ground is that the case Kentish Town? Yes you have plenty to be concentrating on for the first season in the Prem aim for 14th/15th and if you lot do better well on. Sustain yourselves first task.

 

Have you replaced Rhodes or brought in a new coach to replace Hector?

[HTFCew]

There is a new Prog Ed listed in the handbook, so I guess Rhodes has been replaced.

[Rhodes]

So who is that then out of interest
