If You HAD To Choose One - Scottish Cup or Promotion

[My_Wife_Camille]

Which would it be?

Both for me

[CallumLaidlaw]

Which would it be?

Both for me

[emoji23][emoji23] so you don't have to choose one then [emoji6]

Promotion for me now. Was Cup last season.

If we could keep our best players, regardless of promotion or not, I'd take the cup win.

Going up will be good, but I won't be out celebrating like I was for the cup win.

[hibee_girl]

Promotion

[MWHIBBIES]

Promotion

[Hibbyradge]

Which would it be?

Both for me

"If You HAD To Choose One" ... which would it be . . .

If "Both" is an acceptable answer, you're not going to get many others. :hilarious

[Pete]

Cup.

We'll get promoted next year.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Which would it be?

Both for me

I'm sensing a rhetorical question there mate :greengrin


If forced to choose, promotion all day.

[tamig]

Promotion all day long this season. No doubts.

[Diclonius]

Promotion, and a narrow cup final defeat to Celtic.

[Winston Ingram]

Promotion

[Heisenberg]

Promotion. No doubt for me this season.

[California-Hibs]

As good as 2 in a row would be, promotion and a Cup Final defeat

[traceyhibs]

Promotion a must

[Santa Cruz]

The Cup, here we go...

[Waxy]

Cup.

[Northernhibee]

Promotion.

[Michael]

Last year it was 100% the cup. This year promotion is more important, but having said that if we win the cup again it's a brilliant season regardless of what happens in the league.

[hfc rd]

OP has gone for both so I'll go for both as well ;)

However if I was to choose one, it would 100% be promotion. Far more important to Hibs. Failing to get promoted this year will be a massive failure!

[Col2]

Promotion.

But a close second would be a come back Roy of the rovers last minute victory against Celtic and even better The Rangers (again).

[Chip shop Joe]

It has to be promotion. If we don't go up this year I seriously doubt we will be able to keep SJM, Cummings, Hanlon amongst others and it will be another squad rebuild with less money, which is the last thing we need!

[aljo7-0]

Promotion

[Hermit Crab]

Cup.

[Franck Stanton]

Exactly , cup win would be a bonus but the main prize has to be promotion.

[Waxy]

We'll win the cup and get promoted. Who's gonna stop us like?

[Deansy]

Promotion !

[killie-hibby]

Promotion and cup final.

[Andy.1875]

Promotion!

[seanoheimhin]

Which would it be?

Both for me


Promotion 100%

[TrinityHibs]

Here we go 3 in a row

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

I'd take a defeat against Aberdeen if it guaranteed we'd be promoted.

Only thing that matters for the short and long term future of our club is promotion

[Bishop Hibee]

Promotion. This league is awful.

[lucky]

Promotion is the priority but the cup would be a nice bonus

[Spudster]

As good as 2 in a row would be, promotion and a Cup Final defeat

A Rangers or Celtic scottish cup win then? I'd rather lose in the semi's TBH

[tomhorn]

Cup win. Any other choice seems mad to me.
We can get promoted next year or next again.
Might never win the cup again in our lifetime. Cup every day of the week.

[JackLadd]

If we could win the Scottish Cup every year and put out Hearts every year I'd stay in the Championship.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Both ... which would be nothing short of a miracle :thumbsup:

But if its a choice then promotion 100% ...... A cup win would keep some folk on board for a while, but the truth is there would be nothing like the feel good effect last seasons cup win generated and our crowds, player retention and overall finances would suffer and suffer badly ..... for the future good health of this club it simply has to be promotion.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Promotion. Any other year in my life would be cup by a million miles.

[Keith_M]

Which would it be?

Both for me


You do realise you just contradicted your own question.


:rolleyes:

[hibeg]

It's got to be promotion.

[thebausburst]

Cup all day

[thebausburst]

Cup win. Any other choice seems mad to me.
We can get promoted next year or next again.
Might never win the cup again in our lifetime. Cup every day of the week.

This 100/

[Dashing Bob S]

Last year: cup,

Next year: cup.

This year (with reluctance): promotion

Can't forget last years scenes, but it wouldn't be the same if we won it again. There would be an entitled arrogance, rather than a spiritual euphoria. But it's important to get trophies on the shelf and the cup is the best chance of doing this. Ultimately though, a team and club is measured by it's league status, and we need to be in the top end of the top flight now.

[monktonharp]

cup win. more big crowds at ER and I think bigger than this season despite OF and the Gorgie mob being involved if we get promoted

[J-C]

Definitely has to be promotion, the holy grail and cup jinx is finally over but we must get back to the big league for gate revenue, tv money and competition.

[Andy74]

Promotion this year would be the best chance to set this club up for winning things more often in future.

Cup without promotion this year wouldn't help us build from here.

[My_Wife_Camille]

[B.H.F.C]

Last year I said cup. This year its promotion 100%.

[21.05.2016]

Both obviously. But if I had to pick one it would be promotion for me. Last year I would have said the SC because we just needed to get that monkey off our back. We absolutely need to get out of this league.

[PeeKay]

Heart says cup and another shot at the Europa League, but head says promotion.

[superfurryhibby]

Cup would be more emotional.

[Hibernianinc]

Cup.

While being in the championship is rubbish, actually winning proper trophies is what it's about.

If you offered me a cup win every year, but staying in the 2nd tier, I'd probably take that.

[Steve20]

Promotion.

Last season it was Cup all the way, but we must be promoted this season or we'll lose our better players and not many decent players are going to sign for a team that is four years in the lower leagues.

[Just Alf]

promotion 100%

Although if we were to get a wee cheeky back to back cup win I'd be absolutely desperate to get back to work on Monday to "discuss the game" (gloat :greengrin ) with some of my Yam colleagues!

:flag:

[Brightside]

Which would it be?

Both for me

A question i never ever understand. We MUST get promoted.

[Biggie]

2 in a row would be amazing and we could Lord it over the yams forever with that one.....but this is a truly **** league and for the benefit of hibs, we need out this league.....now

[cam75]

2 in a row would be amazing and we could Lord it over the yams forever with that one.....but this is a truly **** league and for the benefit of hibs, we need out this league.....now

Imagine the chant here we go 3in a row💚

Id take promotion tho.

Ggtth

[jacomo]

Which would it be?

Both for me


Most pointless OP ever?

[Roxyhibee]

This will be a more interesting question if it's us and Sevco in the final again..

[Vini1875]

Most pointless OP ever?

Correct.
Why are we having this question each month? Fact is we don't have to choose. I want both. It's not like TV channels where you can only watch one. We can have both, we have a chance at both.

[KWJ]

Cup.

Assuming I can get a ticket.

[RoYO!]

Cup! We'd have beaten one of the old firm in the final!

Celtic- to stop to treble

The Rangers- well... For many reasons would be unimaginably brilliant! :P

[calumhibee1]

If it had no negative impact on the club then the cup every time. What are we playing for via promotion? The chance to compete for finishing mid-upper end of the table and come nowhere near winning the league? I'd choose to see Hibs lift major trophies ahead of get promotion to an un-winnable league all day every day. However, if it meant losing all our best players then I'll go promotion, then we can get back to our outstanding recent record in the Scottish Cup next year.

[theonlywayisup]

Here we go.............two in a row!!

If we win promotion we won't be celebrating it in 2027. But we would still remember and celebrate a 2017 Scottish Cup win and a double Scottish Cup winning team.

I can't believe anyone would say otherwise!

[WhileTheChief..]

Back to back cup wins for me.

Promotion can wait!

[Jim44]

If we won the cup this year and missed out on promotion, I reckon we'd be up the creek without the proverbial paddle. Lennon would be sacked or would walk, most of our better players will move on and we'd be back on the treadmill yet again. The Cup might bring in a few quid to help the cause but each year in the Championship makes it all the harder to get promotion and cup wins won't always be there to keep the club performing at the level we are managing. 'Ever decreasing circles' springs to mind.

[erin go bragh]

Cup last season but has to be promotion this time . Both would be nice :)

[JimboHibs]

Cup ..... I dread the thought of playing County,Hamilton,Killie at least 4 times a season with an atmospheric away support of around 20 fans combined from the 3 teams

[Eyrie]

Both, but I'd settle for just promotion and could live with only retaining our Cup.

[Hero76]

Cup

[southern hibby]

Cup only cause I want HERE WE GO THREE IN A ROW


However it will need to be promotion cause we need to get back to the top league.




GGTTH

[Robinho08]

Last season, I'd have picked the Scottish cup over promotion everyday of the week.

This season, promotion is a must, over the cup.

[cabbageandribs1875]

the monkey is off the back.....promotion

[Pete]

Most pointless OP ever?

Have you seen the "here we go" thread?

[Northernhibee]

Have you seen the "here we go" thread?

Two in a row

[Zazu62]

Two in a row

Here we go

[My_Wife_Camille]

Correct.
Why are we having this question each month? Fact is we don't have to choose. I want both. It's not like TV channels where you can only watch one. We can have both, we have a chance at both.
I know mate but which one would you choose?

[cheltenhamhibee]

Promotion for me

[Galahibby]

Last year = cup
This year = promotion
In an ideal world = both :aok:

[portyhibernian]

Both, but promotion if we can only have one. Another year in the Championship could be disastrous for us.

[Pretty Boy]

Promotion.

Go up this year and the foundation is there to (continue) to compete at the business end of the cups for years to come. Fail to do so and we might start to feel the pinch.

Absolutely no reason why we can't, or won't, compete on both fronts though.

[Andy74]

Promotion.

Correct. Though sacrificing the cup would be a decent price to pay to stop the two in a row thread.

[matty_f]

Promotion, grudgingly. Though I know that if/when we win the league there will be no celebration like May last year. However if we were to defy the odds and win the cup I reckon it'd be pretty radge again. :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Correct. Though sacrificing the cup would be a decent price to pay to stop the two in a row thread.

I'd almost be willing to wait another 114 years to see the back of that thread.

[heretoday]

Heart says cup. Head says promotion.

[stoneyburn hibs]

I'd take the win tonight over the semi. Wouldn't have said that a year ago.

[Keith_M]

18199


Ah, so you knew it was a stupid comment, fair enough then.

[Jones28]

Cup - I could take another year in the championship to retain the cup. As it happens I think we will go out to Aberdeen and win he league.

[lugz]

Cup 100%

[Ronniekirk]

Cup if we took The Rangers again in The Fnal to teyain the Trophy how Histric would thst be Season Tickets sales of 15 000 next Season and Skoosh the league

[Mr_F]

Cup

[One Day Soon]

After tonight the league is won. So I'll go for the Cup - which gives us a double!

[Jim44]

:agree: If we don't win the league now, I think we should give up. I'll change my vote and go for both.:greengrin

[hibby6270]

I'll have a 'P' please Bob!!:wink:

[northstandhibby]

Now promotion is near enough in the bag i'm looking forward to another day in may over exuberantly celebrating a cup win!!!

glory glory
