Question Liverpool in the Cup or Wembley?

Got to be Wembley without a doubt. Chance of winning a trophy, plus its 250 miles nearer.

Wemberlee without a doubt with a chance of silverware, over a match where we're bound to get spanked.

I'd say a trip to Wembley would just about edge it for me.
Lets face it both grounds are gonna be 3/4 full (if that) for games featuring us. However if the last time we made the LDV Final was anything to go buy we could take around 25,000 fans. I've never seen that sort of support for Southend games before and although the results were hard to take it was great to be part of those crowds.
Away at Liverpool is one of the games I hoped for in yesterday's draw but we have to remember we're not yet there in either competition. I think the JPT game is more achievable personally. Yes its 3 games as opposed to a one off victory against Oldham but I just think this whole situation reminds me so much of the whole Scarborough scenario.
If we can sneak a win tomorrow night then we have 2 games to get the better of either Barnet or Brentford. Lets hope Barnet pull off the shock of the night!

Anfield if I had to choose.
Once we beat Liverpool, we'll be one step closer to a trip to Wembley anway.

You're all being too pessimistic. As I see it, we can still go to Anfield, get them back to the Hall for a replay, smash Brentford/Barnet in the LDV and then still have time for the massive fixture congestion to mess up our automatic chances of promotion before we then clinch the deal in the play-off finals.

Liverpool every time. For me, seeing my team run out at Anfield will be a dream come true.

I remember the trip to Everton with great fondness. Walking to the ground, passing what seemed like an endless line of coaches from Essex. Wouldn't it be good to see that again, this time at Anfield?

How would we make more out of Liverpool?
FA Cup attendance will be 40k tops. Of which we get 40% of the gate. They will reduce ticket prices I would assume, so say £25 a ticket * 40,000 * 40% = £400k + 27k prize money for beating Oldham, so say £450k maximum.
There wont be any TV revenue as its highly unlikely to be featured.
Wembley attendance would be about the same, if not more depending on who we play. Tickets will be much higher, I would guess at £35? I can't remember how much they were before.
I think the football league/Wembley take some of the gate money, so again say 40%
£35 a ticket * 40,000 * 40% = £560k
Plus its live on Sky, so I don't know if there is any revenue for that, as well as the revenue for the 2 legs of the semi final.
I would estimate getting close to £650k-£700k
