Johnstone's Paint Trophy - First Round Draw

[Baboon]

The excitement of this famous old competition gets underway tomorrow morning with the First Round draw live on Soccer AM.

16 clubs have byes into the second round but we are one of the 32 who take part in the First round.

For the First Round the clubs are split into four groups of eight on a regional basis: NW, NE, SW and SE.

We are in the NE section together with Bradford, Burton, Hartlepool, Notts Co, S****horpe, Sheff Utd and Walsall.

The First Round ties are to be played during the week commencing Monday 2nd September. Anyone fancy a trip to Hartlepool?

Don't forget to keep Sunday, 30th March free for a day out at Wembley. Could be Wolves v. Walsall, you never know!

 

[Beastier]

Who & why qualifies for the byes?

[vega recollection]

no it couldnt, we are in the Northern Section subdivided to North East section for the early rounds wich means we can only face someone from the Southern section in the final

 

[FLEET WOLF]

Does winning this get us into European Champions Paint Trophy League?

Don't give them ideas!

I think its been re-named the Dr. Oetkers pepperoni challenge cup.

 

[Phys Ed Wolf]

How the $$$$ are we North East?

 

[Jamesjh89]

Interesting, would getting tickets to this game give me 10 points meaning id be up to 1020 for the shrewsbury tickets?

 

[Jamesjh89]

Oh and the 30th march is my birthday, what a fream that would be

 

[Edgmond Wolf]

Truly not fussed with this

Only interested in focusing on winning this league and starting the journey home to the Premier League

 

[Jonzy54]

Does winning this get us into European Champions Paint Trophy League?

I think we will gloss over that one

 

[Jonzy54]

If it's cold in the winter do we have to put two coats on at the match?

 

[Moira Stewart]

I think the players need to brush up on their cup form after the Morecambe debacle if they want a run in the JPT.

 

[paddy]

Does winning this get us into European Champions Paint Trophy League?

Didnt we win the European Paint Cup ?

 

[Captain Bertorelli]

I think we will gloss over that one

I won't get over emulsional about it.

 

[ws1wolf]

Was gonna put a bet on us winning this and the league.
But after losing to morcombe in the cup I don't think we will fair any better in this.

Players injured ( not being played for more important league games ?)
Trying the kids in competetive games (understandable)

Resulted in us being kicked out the cup.
No great shakes the leagues our priority.

I think the same will happen in this competiton too

 

[The Pig]

I think we will gloss over that one

Haha

I don't think it would matt'er. I'll get my under coat.

 

[Surrey Wolf]

I hope we get a bye because at least we'll go further than 1 round

I have a different view of it. This is a trophy which we stand a genuine chance of winning. The galvanizing impact of a long cup run and potentially a trophy in terms of the relationship between club and fanbase, not to mention the presumably not insignificant revenue in the latter stages, makes it hard to simply dismiss.

I appreciate your view mate but winning our league is key

the bye's are already dished out we are not one of the teams with a bye

 

[Surrey Wolf]

Ah.. ok thanks!

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Can't believe anyone who went to Wembley for the Burnley final wouldn't want a repeat. Can we have Walsall, Burton or Notts Co please, then I promise to go. Can see the idea of a regional draw to increase interest but not when we might get Hartlepool!

 

[Essex Wolf]

How the $$$$ are we North East?

Considering Wolverhampton isn't even close either

 

[we8wba]

hope we get sheffield utd first round

either knock out 2nd favs or be knocked out ourselves asap

 

[andyc225]

Imagine Pools away on a lovely cold Tuesday night. Why couldn't we be in the South West section against teams that are easier to get to?

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Walsall or Burton please, anyone else is a bit far to get to on a week night so it would need to be a home game

 

[Jungleee]

Hartlepool away just for the night out in Middlesbrough which could be funny

 

[wolvesultra]

I thought some parts of last season (Luton away, Burnley home, Brighton away) were some of the lowest points of my Wolves following days

BUT watching those idiots on Soccer Am draw us out in their Bruce Forsyth rip off way has to take it.

 

[awswolves]

Burton or Notts county away please

 

[andyc225]

Hopefully someone will fill us in on the draw in the morning. I don't read The Sun so I won't be watching.

 

[PREM.L.L]

Is it on Soccer AM then? Thing is it's on freeview all day tomorrow. Man U game and Sheff weds game?

Channel 11 Pick tv.

Can somebody answer this please?

 

[Jungleee]

Can somebody answer this please?

Yes

 

[JOSWolf]

In a sad kind of way I'm looking forward to these games. Bring on more games!

 

[wolvesultra]

Can somebody answer this please?

might be worth checking usually it would but I'm sure I read somewhere that no decision had been made re: loyalty points for JPT. Realistically If we get a home game I'd like to see it £5-£10 (for adults) all over the ground. If that was the case they might not allocate as many loyalty points (perhaps 5 instead of 10??)

 

[wolvesultra]

totally agree


















your sad

Know what you mean. For me it's the thought that Wolves have a chance of winning a game and playing decent football.

The last few seasons have been pretty dire to watch and some games seem more of a chore.
