There's got to be a lot more behind that sentiment than you are letting on....... Yes, I want to watch Derby county in the FA cup final at Wembley- the premier league will come and go but if we went up it would be nice but the cup is just a life time thing.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Winning the FA cup would get more recognition than winning the championship division, simply because top flight clubs entre the FA cup (and i know in theory you could win the fa cup without facing a top flight team) not matter if winning the 2nd division is a harder task. for me, I'd rather we win something than just improve our league position to being in the top flight. However, it never works out as an either or choice. I always thing a good cup run is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I would love us to get to Wembley in the FA cup even for a semi final. I have saw Derby at Wembley 4 times. 1 doesn't really count as it was the Anglo Italian thingy. The other 3 were play offs. I haven't enjoyed any of them, even the WBA one, as the prize is so high that the fear of failure ruins my enjoyment. A semi against any Prem side would be a fun day out akin to the jolly ups like Fulham away but with 10 x the amount of fans. Covent Garden would be epic and a day never to forget. A full side out on Friday please and hopefully a full house to roar us on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresOnlyWanChope Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Leicester had the right attitude back in the 90s- played full strength teams in the cup and took advantage of bigger clubs fielding weaker sides - in the League cup. They won it twice back then I think. Derby should really be going for cup competitions whatever it is. Winning the FA cup is once in a lifetime unless you are a supporter of probably the top 6/7 clubs. Promotion / relegation will probably happen a few times in lifetime if the club you support is the size of Derby. I don't think it's realistic to expect to win the cup but Derby should go for it. Full strength team and maximum commitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what everyone else does. Its not about agreeing with me or not. I'm just saying what I personally am doing and why. I will be as pleased as anyone if we have a full house. Doesn't make me less of a fan I haven't lived in Derby or anywhere near for the last 35 years - although I suspect I have attended far more games than you and have witnessed more of the ups and downs over the last 50 years than you can have dreamt about. You might do well to understand that other people have their own circumstances and opinions which might conceivably differ from your own (or what you perceive to be the 'party line') and possibly even respect that .

There's got to be a lot more behind that sentiment than you are letting on....... I would. I've never looked upon this season as 'promotion or bust' - especially after the state Pearson left us in. The biggest footballing disappointment in my life, and my first season ticket was in 1966 (I can play full-fan top trumps too), was the defeat to Man Utd at Hillsborough. I want one trip to Wembley for a cup final before I die - win or lose. Promotion can wait another year - anything this year is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
