Deutsch Par Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I suspect I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway Would you sacrifice a cup run for the League Championship? I certainly would. A run in the cup would be nice but the league is our bread and butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 we shoud be looking to do well in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I agree that we should always look to do well in both. However, the Cups are a bonus - we HAVE to get out of this League this season. There are still enough big teams in the Championship (plus possibly Dundee United next season) to make it exciting for the fans, and lucrative for the Club.The only trophy I'm interested in this season is the League 1 trophy. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Deadpool Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Why does it have to be one or the other? We don't HAVE to get out of the league this season. The club will still exist if we don't. Obviously we all want to, and it's what the club are aiming for, but we would still have a club if we don't.

sabino Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Dear SantaGive me a well played defeat in the Cup, with Ayr going on a run of poorly attend ties against small teams. With each game going to a poorly attended replay at great distance. They then get chucked out after a plum draw against Celtic because they had fielded an ineligible player in the previous round.I have been a good boy this year (I wasn't as good as I fist said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Would sacrificing a cup run mean fielding a weakened team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 For me the only real reason I want to see us beat Ayr this coming weekend in the cup is to boost our lads confidence.I want the league though to be our absolute focus simply because I'm a bit worried of the longer term effects of failing to win promotion. Given the progress the club has made thus far, promotion is almost vital to keep us going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also aside from boosting the team's confidence, surely winning this game will result in more prize money and potentially more funds from the next round depending on who we draw (although if we did get through I'd be wanting a HL, LL or Junior team away should any be left).

From a personal perspective I'm not that bothered about a cup run. If it happens then it can only be a positive. Like I said the league is No:1 priority. Any money we pick up in a cup run will be nothing compared to the financial damage done by having to restructure to go part time because we didn't win promotion .......which we will :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
