Quoted from HertsGTFC
If we got to the 3rd round that would be a good piece of progress.

In terms of a dream draw I think you get a better cut of the gate so if a club our size got a top team away that would in my mind be better than packing out BP.

Re the trophy it would be nice to go to a Wembley final as I’m sure if we’d already won promotion we’d surely p1ss it …….. wouldn’t we? 🤦‍♂️


Didn't Lincoln earn £2m from their run to the 5th round?

An away game at Man Utd would almost certainly be on TV because Utd always are and probably bring in close to £1m alone.

The mentality of sacking off the FA Cup is both foolish and arrogant in my opinion.

Yeah,for the trophy play some of the fringe players we haven't seen all that much of crocombe, sears, whoever has  played least of the central defenders, the young central defence lad, revan, spokes  bapaga, the teenage striker etc. Let's see what their made of in the trophy. Let them try and prove they deserve to be in the squad. They must be chomping at the bit if they have anything about them so let's see what they can do. And give a break to the more mature players and keep them away from unnecessary injury risk.

A couple of them might give Hurst a selection headache (in a good way) if they play really well.

                   Crocombe
Sears  Pearson  Longe-King  Revan
    Wright  Fox  Spokes  Scannell
                      Grant
                        LJL

If all fit, this is a team capable of making serious progress in the trophy without using a single starter from the team that’s performed so well in the last couple of games. Shows what a strong squad PH has assembled.

If I remember correctly from last time, Hurst did play fringe players in the early rounds of the Trophy and beefed the team up as we progressed through the rounds. I’d expect that strategy won’t change.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I dunno but I hope we pay him in pennies.

As I pointed out in another thread, we don't know what else is in the woodwork waiting to come out! It wouldn't surprise me if all cup money went to him.

I do like the thought of a good cup run especially if you get to the stage when the prem teams are involved. I do think though that our concentration this season should be promotion and cup matches as a second stream regardless of their income. Injuries to the first team squad trying for utopia would not be an ideal situation.

Mid table in L1 or L2 go for it but not now.
