Hall Of Fame
DCFCs fairy godmother visits you and gives you a choice of guaranteed promotion or guaranteed to win the FA Cup.....
1. Guaranteed promotion
2. Guaranteed FA Cup win
.... which?
Hall Of Fame
FA Cup.
We've multiple promotion seasons behind us, but only 1 FA Cup. I expect us to get promoted (at some point), but there's no cup expectation, so it will be much more special.
Swap that out for winning the Premier League, and I'd opt to win the League.
How about you 'Amster? Would you rather see us clinch 2nd spot on the final day at Hillsborough, or lift the FA Cup at Wembley?

I've seen us win the top 3 Leagues although I was only 3 when we won Division 3 North. I do remember me Dad and older brother being very happy but, at that age, it didn't really register. I wasn't born when we won the Cup in '46 so, for purely personal and selfish reasons, I'd take the Cup win.
Having said that, winning the Cup is nigh on impossible for us so promotion would be more than acceptable.
Hall Of Fame
FA Cup for me.
We will get promoted at some point, but the cup is a trophy and the feel good factor would be amazing.
Hall Of Fame
FA Cup win every time, a wonderful day out and a moment in history that one would savour and remember for the rest of ones life! I'll take promotion another year thanks!

The cup would be lovely but I want to be playing Man U and Liverpool in two years time not Cheltenham and Accrington

Papa John, we haven't won that before

So you would trade winning the FA Cup for the remote possibility of being beaten soundly by the rich teams in the prem? On a rational basis, the latter could happen anyway in 3 years, so your only delaying the experience playing in the prem by 12 months in return for an experience of actually winning a trophy!Originally Posted by Andy_Faber

On that same rational basis the former (FA cup win) could happen next year so it’s a nil outcome

If we’re talking ‘guaranteed’ and ‘fairy godmothers’...then a guaranteed play off win every time, please.
That way you get the Wembley occasion factor...and the promise of better things next season.
In reality...the most we can expect from the FA Cup is a good run as we are light years behind the real contenders.
