Now that the clubs don't take the FA Cup seriously I have decided to withdraw my support and will be missing the game at Macclesfield.

I pity the younger fan who has never witnessed the magic of the Cup. Believe me kids, days like this were the highlight of the season - not any anymore.

Has anyone else given up on the Cup?

Gave it up years ago when clubs started thinking more about the Premier league money and started playing weakend teams in the cup.

Hi, first post other than the introduction part. I'm not attending today either, the disappointment of the season so far along with shelling out last season to attend Birmingham and Wembley only to get mullered by Stoke and what seemed like a lack of commitment and tactical ineptitude to change what was happening kind of put me off. Saying that the tactical ineptitude appears to have carried on this season. Still think it's more by luck than good managing/coaching that we've managed to get a few points on the board recently. Hopefully the overpaid tossrs will have their game heads on today so's we don't have to face the embarrasment of yet another defeat. Couldn't face the stick by work colleagues etc......

Just before I leave, I have to say I totally agree with you Nat, I remember cup games like Southampton away, god damn that Barry Horne. I remember the 2 ties against Liverpol where we threw away a lead at home but won at Anfield. I remember winning at Arsenal in extra time. The cup was a really special competition in the early 90s when we were in the lower leagues. But when you're a Premiership team and play the big teams week in week out it is no longer special. Even last year getting to the semi finals was nothing to look back on fondly. It is a shame the younger fans don't get to experience what we did 20 years ago. God, is it really 20 years ago?

Gave up on it (it gave itself up, really) about 6/7 years ago. Was not tempted last year until 1/4 final.

The FA Cup has lost some magic.

However if we dropped down 2 divisions and then drew Man Utd or Arsenal the magic would be back, as if by magic.

This is very true. If we suddenly drew Barcelona in any competition the Reebok would be full.
