Leeds United fans split on FA Cup or survival as poll favours Premier League | OneFootball

Leeds United supporters are divided over whether FA Cup glory would be worth more than Premier League survival, but a clear preference has emerged. According to Leeds Live, more than 2,000 fans voted in a poll, with 67% opting for top-flight safety over lifting the FA Cup.

The debate is hypothetical, and the club’s intention for the final quarter of the season is to chase both outcomes.

Leeds have reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 23 years and face West Ham United for a place at Wembley. A semi-final would end a 39-year wait. The club last won the trophy in 1972.

Those backing survival pointed to long-term stability, arguing Premier League status better supports the club’s development and prospects.

Others leaned towards silverware, calling a Cup triumph a once-in-a-generation memory that would outlast a relegation that could be reversed.

Whatever the preference, the current run has allowed supporters to dream, and the poll underlines where the majority now stand.
