Our final against Salford has been rescheduled for march 13th.
What a waste of time. Surely they must have realised that having to break the cup-tied rules and playing players who werent even at the clubs last year makes it a pointless exercise.
Why the fook put it right in the middle of a busy period?! Play the kids ffs

This is a dumb idea I would have thought on the back of 8 games in just over 3 weeks in Feb and plenty more to fit in. Already been said that these aren't the players that took either team to the final. If you were KJ would you play a full team? Tough call as players will want to play at Wembley and we wouldn't want a bunch of kids getting hammered there; but there are certainly bigger fish to fry.

What an experience for the kids of he chose to do that though.
He won't though, for fear of the pasting he would get from the fans. A trophy is a trophy however meaningless.
Sandwiched between being at Home to Sunderland on 9th and Home to Ipswich on the 20th March, so at least no Tuesday 12th fixture (not listed at the moment anyway).
I think Jackett will be forced to put out a very strong side, he’ll have to hope we don’t get any serious knocks and be able to play a full strength side a week later against Ipswich.
The Eisners will doubtless have a big input as to where Pompey’s priorities lie, I think they will likely opt for The Papa John’s and an Automatic ( “We’ve let you strengthen so go out and win both - it’s your best way to get us to renew your contract”)
We have an 11 game run in to the end of the season with a lot of very winnable games if we are at anything like we were at Charlton, I think our owners will likely want their cake and to eat it to.
at least we have a much stronger squad than for previous run ins, much improved by Bolton stepping up to the plate too. Suddenly we seem to have real competition for almost all positions.
Let's hope we have a 10 point lead at the top by the time this game rolls round

Haha yes... should be possible! Which league game has been postponed for that day?
There’s nothing scheduled for Saturday 13th March, left vacant deliberately I guess .

Peterborough away was scheduled. A new date is awaited.
