FA cup - as that would put us in the Europa League - which requires a Cat 4 Ground - which sixfields is not
Football is about winning. As we can't win league 1 this year I would take the FA Cup, it would stay on record forever.
However, our only realistic chance of success is promotion via play offs....so that is what I would concentrate on.
For some of our younger fans the trip to Arsenal will demonstrate the huge gap between League 1 and Premiership football.
Yes, it's about winning. But you don't have to win League One to get promotion, do you?
FA cup no brainer.Its once in a lifetime stuff promotion from league one from a club our size should be achievable 8 out of 10 years.
Promotion all day long. We need to be playing at higher level. We don't deserve to be after the past few years and are where we are, but a club of our stature shouldn't be League One. I know the fans of Portsmouth, Sheff Weds/Utd, Luton etc will all say the same but I don't care about them. I grew up with the club in the top flight....we need to be as high up the Leagues as possible.
The FA Cup can be great, but ask Portsmouth if they could trade in their FA Cup win for being a league higher....

I'm actually shocked people are saying the FA Cup. I thought this was a joke question. Ask Birmingham fans if they'd have preferred to win the League Cup a couple of years ago, or stay in the Premier League.
Promotion all day. Cups are a distraction we don't need.

As someone just asked a Pompey fan, my office is in Brum and just about all of them said they would take the League Cup win every time but even more so if it was the FA Cup. They said being a club like Blues is likely to end up in promotion and relegation but will never replace one special day at Wembley that will live in the memory forever.
Exactly. I hereby apologise to the not-quite-so-dumb blues fans who work with The Gentleman.
The question was promotion from League 1 or FA Cup, not relegation from Premier League or winning League Cup. Two very different scenarios.
I have put a post on earlier that said winning the FA Cup is unrealistic so we should concentrate on promotion via the play offs. So we aren't polls apart.Granted, different questions, but valid. We'd be in an infinitely better overall scenario with promotion in the long run.
Reading all the other posts we'll have to agree to disagree. Still reeling though!
Without checking who won the cup in 2007? Because I've no idea.

Maybe it's just me, and the fact I can't remember 1987. But I'm even sick to death of hearing about that. It's like your pissed up old uncle going on about a bird he shagged when he was 22.
