When in the situation we apparently are in, no prize money is irrelevant. The Premier League has added additional money to allow their underage teams to play and the prize money for this competition is now greater than it has ever been.
True, the club could well do with the money (unless Dele gets sold!). But for me as a fan the prize money is far less significant than us actually winning a cup. Promotions and relegations come and go but the rare piece of silverware remains forever, no-one can take that moment of history from us (
We tried it but we had to give the trophies to those
AFC bastards in the end!)
The trophies went to Merton Council and it is in their offices.
We do have two trophies in winkies filing cabinet at home. One of which is the Football League Trophy. Nobody moaned back then about it. 35,000 MK Dons "fans" who had a good day out at Wembley. It is the only realistic thing we can win now we need to take it seriously surely.
