staines_rebel_Jr Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 FA Trophy vs FA Cup FA Trophy Wins to get a Conf Prem team - 3 (prize money earned - £12,250) Wins to get a League team - Not Possible Wins to get to Wembley - 8 (prize money earned - £63,000 + £30,000 for losing or £60,000 for winning the final) Publicity - Non League / Local. National if you get to the final. FA Cup Wins to get a Conf Prem team - 3 (prize money earned - £15,000) Wins to get a League team - 4 (prize money earned - £27,500 + guaranteed pot money from replays, at least a five figure sum) Wins to get to Wembley - Guarenteed in 10 possible in 6. Publicity - World wide. Lincoln City's run in the FA Cup last year netted them a reported £2.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 In money terms I don't disagree with you.... in realistic chances of making it to Wembley terms, the FA Trophy every time. A few years back, when we were a level lower, we lost to a club on penalties that were promoted to the Football League in the same season.... that's the best quality you can meet in the FA Trophy. Odds on making it to an FA Cup Wembley final? Probably a million to 1 or greater. Odds on making it to an FA Trophy final at present, probably 500/1 or 1,000/1, but a promotion in the next few seasons could possibly cut those odds considerably.

staines_rebel_Jr Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 this season it is easier than ever to get to Wembley in the FA Cup. Easier than in the Trophy too. for me getting to Wembley means less and less each year as it becomes les and less prestigious. Not only do they play more and more matches their every year but the national team couldn't give a sh*t and put in atrocious performances degrading the stadium more each time. Personally I would much rather go to Old Trafford or Anfield in the FA Cup than Wembley in the FA Trophy final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rebel1965 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I still think the B&B is what we should be prioritising as it is something that the mob over the river in the SL post code have won and that must be our target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
