MC Prussian Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 For the very first time, I heard about it this morning whilst reading the Bristol Derby match Report, which the Rovers won 1-0. What the heck is the Johnstone's Paint Trophy? EDIT: Thanks for wikipedia for the help on this. The trophy for League One and Two teams? How much more trophies do we want to award?
City Fan Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 It's just the new name for the LDV Vans Trophy.
Stuliasz Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 It's just the new name for the LDV Vans Trophy. Which was in turn, the Auto Windscreens Shield Trophy
davieG Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 It gives the teams in question a chance to play at the Millennium / Wembley Stadium and a decent pay day. Just be grateful we don't have to participate - there but for the grace of god go we (not that I'm religious or anything) alternatively think of Forest.
Zingari Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 1-0 to rovers ; it wasn't a whitewash then ? i suppose rovers were overcome with emulsion when they won
davieG Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 1-0 to rovers ; it wasn't a whitewash then ? i suppose rovers were overcome with emulsion when they won Well they certainly put a bit of gloss on the Competition
Milky Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 Well they certainly put a bit of gloss on the Competition will it be shown on Mat of the day?
davieG Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 will it be shown on Mat of the day? They've given it the brush off.
Zingari Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 They've given it the brush off. have you got an answer for everything was it you satin the dugout?
davieG Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 have you got an answer for everything was it you satin the dugout? I dare not try any more, I'm treading on eggshells with trepidation in case I mess up
Geo V Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 The dumbest paint jokes ever??? http://www.top20fun.com/funny_jokes/4191.html The comp is a decent payday which is great. Also for shite teams to actually play at a big stadium is a once in a lifetime experience for many of them. Everyone deserves a nice day out .

Yeah but to be fair if you include the play offs you get at least two chances of getting there. If we were a lower league club without a history of getting to cup finals we'd be happy getting there too. Look at some of the bigger teams that have won the trophy over the years. Even Wolves have won it and they've won the league, FA Cup and League Cups plus reached a Uefa cup final.

It obviously means little in stature because only the ropey sides can play in it but good luck to them!
