CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 So, I was thinking today about how important the FA cup is to me this season, taking into account league success etc. Personally I would absolutely love a run in the cup. And if I was to rate the FA cup importance out of 10 would probably give it a solid 8/10. Both financially and in terms of momentum the FA cup could be really important to us in my opinion especially if we are to go up and sign a few decent players. That extra money from each round and possible TV ties could be an important factor for us both this season and upon moving into the next! Obviously league is priority but a cup run would be a decent addition to our season. So I thought it would be interesting to see what the general consensus is amongst you fellow City fans.

nickolas Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Love a cup run for a change but i'd swap it all for the whole season's aim - promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Said before it is important in that it gives us a chance to benchmark our players against high quality opposition. The game on Sunday could tell us a lot about the players potential for the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's a distraction, but a very enjoyable one. The league and hopefully promotion is though much more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNBT Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Would be great if we could get through to the next round & keep the momentum going but also because it would be the first time in 21 years that we've gone that far if I'm correct plus as has been said the money.

HoldenBall Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Pales to little significant considering there's never a chance we could win it.. However I'm glad we got an fa cup run as It gives us a little break from the rough and tumble of the league and allows players and fans to relax a little.

CotswoldRed Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I remember feeling sick to the stomach when we were knocked out of the cup as a kid. Feels relatively insignificant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Looks like most people seem to think it's fairly important. Personally could see an upset on Sunday. Fingers Crossed... touch wood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's the greatest competition we enter and if we were to win it, it would be the greatest achievement in our 100+ year history. How can it not be 10/10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's the greatest competition we enter and if we were to win it, it would be the greatest achievement in our 100+ year history. How can it not be 10/10? To win it would be unbelievable! Would most definitely be my best moment as a city fan. Don't think I'd come off the high for at least a year!

Gakoe Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Love the cup I do. Especially around this point, makes football a leveller really. Forget the big bucks it's 11 v 11. Who wants it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Win it...Little chance of that!....However I think its important for this set of lads to play a side like this and show well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaskoolay Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Great if we could beat a big team but promotion and more realistic chance of winning at wembley in jpt more important this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 0 would have been my option, we very rarely get far and when we do we seem to get a underwhelming draw, West Ham for instance. I haven't watched an FA CUP game for years, my focus is on the league & as an added bonus a day out at Wembley in the JPT- should we get there.

grove park city Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I remember feeling sick to the stomach when we were knocked out of the cup as a kid. Feels relatively insignificant now. Going back we had a chance in the cups like the 2 league cup semi finals now its all about drawing a big team for the money anything involving the Prem teams is a closed shop.. Rather win this league and mash Swindon so if West Ham and their big money signings win don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thephat1 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Any other season I would have said 10/10, the finances the chance of a trip to places we don't go every season. But this year its promotion at all costs, we have the best chance to go up so the Gary Johnson days and must not let the cup distract form what we all want so bad!

BCFC_95 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 For me its all about seeing the underdogs doing well, everyone loves a cup upset! Of course seeing City do good is top priority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 When you consider the focus a tie like sunday's brings to the club as a whole, it becomes very important. It can lift and galvanise a club already bouncing along the ceiling like ours. It's always going to play second fiddle to a league title, unless we performed a miracle by winning the thing.
