Just asked a Pompey fan and he said he wouldn't swap winning the cup for anything!
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.
And Jimmy, for me it's nothing to do with the 'Sky tv generation' it's seeing (albeit relatively few) good times playing some of the best teams in the country and having some of the best players, to now. Which don't get me wrong, I love a goal and a win, but quite frankly it's shit. We would not be sharing a ground in Northampton if we had never been relegated.
It wasn't a dig at you hill83....merely the observation that, these days, there appear to be many fans happy to accept just being in the company of the big teams at the expense of winning or even trying to win anything....
....the way the lesser PL clubs effectively throw the early rounds of the FA & League Cups in an often doomed attempt to preserve their PL status is ludicrous.....but many fans accept it saying dumb shit like..."ooh..well staying in the PL means we get another £60m"....Aaaarghhhh
I'd prefer winning the FA Cup as for a previously stated reason it means no more Sixfields
Why's that then?
Both
Wonder what the odds are?
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.
Lets be honest we have not a chance of winning the FA Cup so promotion via the playoffs/Wembley final.
and then I read we are playing on a fri night,wat bolloxfa cup everytime ,getting promoted can be undone in less than a season,and if we are not banned from Europe ,winning the cup can go on for as long ,.the romance of the fa cup will never be betterd,
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.

I've genuinely ran out of things to say about it.

I think nationally we will get more recognition/sponsorship/revenue from winning the FA cup, which would be great.
But winning league 1 or promotion from league 1, no one will care other than us
As previously mentioned you have to be playing a Category 4 Ground, something Sixfields is not, but I know where there might be one...
Prospective buyer's would be more interested in a Championship Club--It's only one step from the money
laden Premiership.
Either way the squad needs a serious influx of players in this transfer window,by that I mean some experienced
players who know their way around.
Fully agreed. I just meant a league 1 team winning the fa cup would be huge news. But I'd rather get promoted too
You really think that SISU would go "ooh, we're in the Europa league...let's move back to the Ricoh"? Seriously??
