Its a competition game why would it be cheaper just because he elects to rest a few. Should we charge more when Sandell plays?

May be wrong but I  think it might be a case of resting a few so don't  many 1st team players risking injury by playing in a competition which isn't a priority. It's different paying a 1st team entrance charge for a league game and its a weak team due to injuries etc but it's another when you by choice play a weaken team. So RP if you go tonight and the team consists mainly of Chip Park players you don't mind paying £10? If the club don't treat it as a prioity game why should you have to pay full price? As I pay a concession entrance fee I will be going but I know a few who aren't going as don't want to pay £10 when its likely a weaken team will be played.

Good to see some of the reserves playing - and playing well in positions that clearly suit them.  I'm not sure that's always the case when they're playing for the Ressies.  One lad (Pring - who was at Cambridge United in the past) plays for the "thirds" in the Wiltshire County league.   Work that one out.  We've got some very promising youngsters - I just hope they're given the right encouragement and opportunity.  Progress in this competition will help that.
A bit of a risk playing Kent out on the pitch for 20 minutes (though he did well to be fair to him) - I was more concerned about him getting injured but we got away with it.

I agree....never a pen in a million years, but you take any luck you can because no doubt we will have some as bad against us this season

Caught the second half and it was a good win. The third team were training at Stanley Park and many drove from SP to catch the second half. It was good for them to see the youngsters playing but many were disappointed to see the first team keeper given 20 mins at the end of the game rather than one of them given an opportunity. What was the point of playing Kent? Lots of the regulars around me were also flummoxed!
