Area Final more important then the final itself? (1 Viewer)

Just thought - does anyone else think the area final was/is more important to us then the actual final itself? I mean in terms of the result.

Lets face it - the real prize for us was the day at Wembley and 40,000 odd of us there. Dont get me wrong, Id want us to win were we there, and it would top the whole experience off very nicely, but I cant really picture myself at Wembley crying and waving my hands at god screaming 'Finally weve won the JPT!!!!!!!!!!!!'.

Im not trying to disrespect the cup and believe me I was there from the start against Burton Albion - but think there cant have been many occassions where the semi final would have in effect meant more to a club then the final.

Any thoughts? Why do I post this stuff - massively putting myself out there to be shot down probably!

If I was offered the choice between going up automatically or being in the play offs id go automatically - but I agree, if I had the choice of how we went up, Id say winning the play off final. I want the day at Wembley! plus the result would matter, and how good would it be doing it at Wembley.

That's intresting, if someone offered you 2nd place or take your luck in the play offs you'd take play offs? I understand the reasoning behind, it but I'd rather be gaurenteed promotion to the championship

No I think Rob said he would take his luck in the play offs rather then go up in 2nd. I meant if I could chose which way we go up id take winning at wembley - getting to have the big day out, all on the line and winning it over 90 mins sounds awesome. Id take that over even winning the league.

Id take going up automatically over risking the play offs if winning them wasnt guarenteed though!

god wouldnt you love to be in this hypathetical world where we get to chose how we go up haha!
