I heard that the cup is to be parachuted in to the ground with Powell jumping out of the plane after it like in the james bond film. Grabbing it just in time to open the chute and land in the centre circle
I heard Ched Evans was delivering it as he wants to talk to Chris Powell about our clean sheets this season, it seems he is after a job in the prison laundry
Just as there are 8,000 Olympic torches this year (That's about 7,998 more than you'd think they need, allowing for breakages) there will be many more cups at The Valley than are strictly necessary. There will in fact be 27,000 of them. The sprinkler system will be spraying out hundreds of gallons of Armand de Brignac and every man, woman and child in the ground will be personally invited onto the pitch to charge their own personal cups with premium shampoo, salute the team and meet the Mysterons.
But remember if you want any chance of having second helpings of the lovely bubbly, you'll have to run on the pitch nice and early ;-)
I've just booked to jump with them. Problem is when I land it will leave a crater that Paddy Powell will spend an hour filling in so delaying kick-off and meaning we'll all miss the FA Cup Final.

They are going to parachute the L1 trophy into the ground on Sat week.

Will they be bringing Paul Bensons medal with them?
