If it’s true and the B&B FA get all gate receipts then you’d think they’d set the prices too although you’d hope they’d have to pay a fee to whoever is hosting the final.

What’s the point of doing it then? If we get no money... and all we win is a pointless cup why are we doing it

It's a cup final, a bit of silverware up for grabs and don't forget clubs hosting games get the food and bar takings.

[Hammer_rebel]

Oooohhh silverware zzzzz 

We aren’t hosting so won’t gain any money on bar or food so....... a cup. That’s it and if we lose we get nothing. Oh wait we are out of pocket because we had to pay the players..... seems pointless

If we win then it will actually cost us money because we will need to be buy a trophy cabinet!

See if we can borrow it from Spurs, theirs hasn’t been used in years ?

[Reading Rebel]

But we have hosted other B&B games.

[Hammer_rebel]

Time for that to change too unless they pay for the ground etc obviously don’t know the ins and outs but this whole situation has put me right off b&b and I just don’t see the point 

[Sir Rebel1965]

B&B are a bunch of clowns, only in it for a jolly.

 

Looks like even more clubs next year will not be entering this true micky mouse cup.

For those who liked a good read just to onto Mark Bartleys Twitter page it maybe of some interest to everyone.

[Guest Wycombe Rebel]

He really is something else!

I'd like to know how we have broken the rules as he says?!?!

Marlow broke the rules and got caught, so if the FA are adamant that Reading broke the rules to, shouldn't we be playing Maidenhead?!?!

Bartley needs to put his dummy back in and worry more about his team's conduct on (and off!) the pitch in my opinion, I also say reaction's like his are that of a guilty verdict waiting to happen and trying to tarnish everyone else's reputation as you go!

[Reading Rebel]

He certainly is a bitter and twisted person.

It'll be interesting to read the B&B statement as Bartley reckons it say's that we've also broken the rules. 

[Reading Rebel]

Just read the short statement on the B&B site and providing it's the whole statement there's no mention of Slough having broken any rules.

Oh that is sweet ?

Fully expecting to arrive on Monday to see the Bartman has glued himself to the pitch so it can’t go ahead!

[Rebel Wokingham]

Let’s get some enthusiasm going for this game now. It’s still a cup final, possibly the last ever  game for some of the players and also the chairman’s last game. Put all the nonsense behind us and aim for a positive end to a great season.

See the other thread I started for coach details. 

[GlenSTFC]

Really depends on how many Reading bring after all it’s there youth team not first team so are they really going to be that bothered? Hopefully we’ll have 300-400.
