of nil intrest maddix when you have the top four teams in the final every other year its become the premiership cup !!
unless our seasons finished by the time the 3rd round comes round next season then we should treat it with all the respect it deserves and play all the second string and youth unless offcourse we get a derby game thrown in ? may aswell leave it well alone with the plastic cup untill we are a middle of the road premiership team ?

I’ll be watching it, always do, but miss all the build up it used to have. Back in the day most of us could name the last 10 winners, the scores of the games and talk about that goal or this goal in the games. Now I am seriously struggling to remember who won it last year, although as Imre said I am sure it was one of the top 6.
While the teams may not take it as seriously as they used to I do think the average fan still wants to see their team walk out at Wembley on FA Cup final day. This is a game that more tickets should be given to each team and make it a day for the fans irrespective of the teams. They also need to play the semis back at neutral grounds, there are a number of first class stadiums now that could be used - OT, Emirates, soon to be White Hart Lane, Etihad.

Looking at the photo in that article, I can tell you now they won't win the Stanley Cup!!!! Tradition in the NHL is that you never touch the Conference title trophy, you only ever touch the Stanley Cup itself!!!
