Me If it was a direct choice.
Why?
Winning a major trophy is a memory for a lifetime. I'd love to share that experience with my kids whose highlight prior to Steve Cooper arriving was staying up v Ipswich. By winning it, we'd have beaten Mancs, won a 1/4 final and a semi at Wembley beforehand. Those are memories I would love to add and share.
Going down would be horrendous- but with good management we could bounce straight back.
I might feel differently if I didn't attend every game, being in the limelight of the premier league must be great for fans who can't get to games. I'm actually getting a bit sick of losing nearly all the time and the fruitless (bar 3) away trips in the league.
Also, I love the FA Cup, 1988 and 1989 quarter finals at Highbury and Old Trafford right up there as top top days and memories the younger generation can not (yet) understand. The closest since being the most recent play off semis. White hot atmosphere, 12-15 000 Forest supporters in packed away ends.
5th round at Birmingham with 10 000 Forest was great too, if a bit scary.
Anyhow, we're going to win the FA Cup so let's not make it a choice, just win the Cup and stay up too.
I reckon we have a chance against utd. They're hanging on atm against a busy Luton side.
