    Home to Orient
    Based on the paid for pitch announcer a few years back, this can probably be classed as the Verdu Trophy West London derby
  • Glad we’re mixing it with the ‘big boys’ now, wake me up when we’re in the final, and the competition sponsor has changed for the 3rd time.

    I was thinking it's speeded up along with Charlton's manager changes. The cup name, not your pants. I wouldn't know about that. 
  • To finally make this competition more interesting it should reward virtue in the event of a draw and scrap penalties

    The Vertu Virtue Trophy - in the event of a draw teams score points based on the following:

    Getting the ball for the opposition and putting it in the right place
    Signalling to the réf that the corner, throw in or goal kick should be for the other team.
    Getting up within 5 seconds after falling down - one extra point if you say to the ref ’ah, it’s nothing - it’s a man’s game after all’
    When injured, accepting the bucket and sponge as quick treatment.
    Accepting all référée decisions however obviously bad  - one extra point if you say ’I disagree but it’s swings and roundabouts I suppose.’

    Very good :D Many of those changes are because the sponsor changed their name! Between 84 and 92 it's the same company which made Sherpa vans, who returned in 2000 for another stint when called LDV Vans. So they sponsored it for 15 years in total, while JPT had 11.

    I'm guessing Auto Glass and Auto windscreen are the same too, as with BSM and Vertu.

    Not a problem you get with the more important trophies, sponsored by bigger names like Barclays, Coca-Cola and Emirates...
