You may call it a tin-pot trophy now - but would you be at Wembley 31st March 2019?

Serious question. If we won it would you really feel any sense of pride? Being in a position where we are even playing in it is a stain on the clubs history. To celebrate winning it for a club of our stature is cringey as f*ck. We should be keeping our heads down and mouths shut and be looking at putting things right. Its a sad indictment of where standards have slipped to. WE ARE F*CKING SUNDERLAND MAN!! Not some tin pot all club. 6 times english champions!
 
I'd be in London for the jolly up but reckon I'd give someone else my ticket.

I agree with every word of this.
 
I absolutely hate this competition if I'm being honest. Especially with under 23 teams in it. But would I go to Wembley if we got there? Of course I would. Any chance to try and re-enact Covent garden 2014 cannot be turned down! Wouldnt be the slightest bit arsed about the game tho.
 
I'd go, but wouldn't be having the same anticipation and excitement of the league cup final. Missed about 5 home games in 10 years, but didn't go tonight. I'm fully aware we are league 1 and why we are, just find this tournament a bit degrading if I'm honest. That's not me being big headed, but Haway, playing stokes u23 in a "competitive" game. It is what it is, but it's nowt to be particularly excited about.

Yes! In a word! I have accepted the fact we are in league 1, I have followed Safc for 43 years, I have seen us lose to Norwich, lose to Charlton, lose to liverpool, lose to Man City, I just want to see us win, checkatrade I just want to enjoy a weekend away with 45,000 likeminded fans and go home happy

Fair enough. We just look at things very differently!

Exactly mate. I can see why many clubs' fans boycott it as having your first team play against a club from a league higher's bairns is ridiculous.

I'd give it a miss I think. Would have been a different story if we hadn't just been though.

It would be 5 years since we last played there and considering we've only played there 7 (or is it 8 - football league centenary? ) then it would be a bit daft to give it a miss on the basis we've "just been" imo.
