That anybody wouldn't value this opportunity represents the attitude of many football people today.
So many fans across the spectrum would rather:
4th place in Premier League over winning the FA Cup.
Staying up in the Premier League over winning the FA Cup.
Promotion over a cup final at Wembley.
Who would forget a cup final at Wembley?
In 20 years time I won't remember which league we were in this season. Or next season. But I will remember the exact day I got to see SUFC at Wembley in a cup final, something nobody who has supported our club since its existence has been able to say.
This would so much more than a day out. This could be something to remember forever.
I think the same about Portsmouth. They're having a torrid time now, but they won the FA Cup. Nobody can take that day away from them. Those days are why we watch us lose to Accrington at home. They make up for it. And let's not forget, Crawley and Stevenage are L1 - we hardly escape these sorts of teams by going up.
