League or League Cup?

[FAV Army]

Here is an interesting question: If, today, somebody offered us a place in the Play-offs at the end of this season OR the Robert Dyas League Cup, which one would you take?

Usually, I would say the chance to get promoted would trump a League Cup win.

But we do have a pretty young squad and it could work as a real confidence boost to get a senior trophy under their belts.

Some of these young players have already committed for next season (unless somebody buys them out of their contracts) and I think they will only come back stronger next year if we can keep the bulk of the squad together.

It would also be a great reward for all Ray and Clive and the rest of the staff's work over the past five years.

Whereas, if we get into the Play-offs, they will be so tight we will effectively only have a 25% chance of going up.

There is no reason why we can't aim for both but it will be interesting to see what other people's thoughts are.

FAV Army!

I would take League Cup winners. Play offs are a lottery as we saw last season. Also who remembers finalists let alone semi finalists ? Whereas winning the cup goes down on the record books. It would be a massive achievement for the club considering the quality of some of the clubs in the Premier division as well as a reward to Ray and Clive for all the hard work they done over the past few years.

Silverware. Looks good in the clubhouse. Great team builder. Hoist that cup!

Come on you whites!

BTW--great question

Isn't it great being the only club in the Ryman South or even North that can realistically ask this question of ourselves anyway?
Going to be fun over next few weeks either way.  Love it!

Both please. That's not answered the question has it.

And the golden goal ticket too please.

Unless someone called Dave has got that one sewn up....

And the 500 Club first prize - damnation. I've had that as well.
