Promotion or the FA Cup 11:09 - Jan 7 with 3531 viewsSitfcB

Saw this tweet and it’s a good question…



I think it would be to win the FA Cup, I know it’s now why it used to be but if we got to the final it would be a big thing around the world! It’s only devalued when the same old teams get to the final and no one really cares who wins out of Chelsea v Liverpool.

Plus we’d be in Europe wouldn’t we?

promotion. yet another year in the 3rd division would be soul destroying and even more humiliating than the time we've spent here already.


now we've got through a round i take it all back. the fa cup is really good fun.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

We need out of this league, desperately. I get that its a difficult question but our investors may need us to be promoted also.

Agree. If we go out in the next round to MUFC by a single goal, leaving us to concentrate on a promotion push, that'd be perfect imho.

And even more perfect would be beating Man Utd 2-0 whilst still getting promoted.

Or beating nodge 3-0 without harming our promotion march.

Unlike you, I stuck to the question of 'if you could only choose one' tho!

How can anyone choose promotion from the third tier over winning a major trophy and qualifying for a run in Europe next year? It’s like picking between winning the lottery and being given a £5 bet on the grand national winner.

Ahem -
"Promotion .. OR the FAC" ...

EDIT - oh I see, okay, but it's still a 'no' from me. Who knows when we'll get such a good shot at promo again - we need to get that done first, no unnecessary extra rounds & potential injuries thanks.

Sad to say this is a pointless question as we won't win the FA cup and whilst a good draw in the next round will add to the coffers the league is the most important not only for a majority of fans but the health of the club. We know we have far better owners than since the days of the Cobbold's but even they want us in the Championship and the Prem a.s.a.p. I was lucky enough to go to most of the games when we won the FA cup and it was a glorious time and we had a very good team. Sadly those heady days have been so few and far between and whilst it will always have a huge place in my heart I want to see us out of this League strewn with clubs only intent on gaining a point by time wasting and sticking everyone behind the ball. My hope is that should we leave this league that referees are a bit better. Can they be worse ?

Surely the OP was winning the trophy not winning a couple of matches in it!

5-0 against norwich? guaranteed no injuries? it's hypothetical, so we can add in our own provisos!

Every season that we have taken that approach to the cup, we have failed in the league.

It is about time we took the cup more seriously and allowed it to build confidence instead.

Players can get injured in training as well as in the cup matches. It only really becomes a distraction if we get close to the final or if players allow it to be.
