Well...?

My head says PO but the thought of seeing The Albion walking out in front of 90,000 at Wembley may never happen again.

Tough one.

Definitely FA Cup Semi for me. We can get promoted to the premiership anytime in the next couple of years but this may be our most realistic chance of reaching an FA Cup semi final for a very long time. We really need to try and take it.

Semi final definitely, Hull and Sunderland will be tough but winnable, we need to take this chance.

Is it not going to get harder and harder to reach the PL with FFP and parachute payments of around 60M over a four year period for relegated teams.

Has to be the Simi Final. 90% of fans will be there next season anyway whatever division we are in.

There is every chance we could do both. And until tonight is over I'll be believing that!

Semi Final against either Sheffield club or Charlton - win that and lose to City in the Final.

I'm always changing my mind on this question. I'm just thinking, for our long-term furture, promotion would be advantageous. But the prestige of getting to Wembley might be equally worthwhile. It's a difficult one IMO. Today, given the choice between a Cup semi or a PO sport (with no guarantee of promotion), I have to go with the Cup run. Ask me again tomorrow and I'll change my mind (aha, especially if we lose tonight!)

Tough one, but I'd plump for the cup run.

I'd say that can only add momentum to the club.

But, I'm with [MENTION=4156]glasfryn[/MENTION] - Both!
