Even Carlisle United must be bored of it by now.

trouble with this cup is it only gets interesting when you reach the final

Not that we'd know! But I do agree. Regional finals are a crock.

£50 for a final of the tinpot. No thanks. I'm not sure I would go.

No.

My opinion on how much a waste of time this competition is - is well known. In the last couple of seasons I'd have gone to the final as a chance to go to the new Wembley having not been before.

Now - I have been (and it was shit) the piss poor paint pot (final or otherwise) has no draw what so ever for me.

But if it makes the club cash getting to the final that's a good thing. Not that we have even been that close to the final.
