Good luck to those going . Take sun cream and lots of money!! Now I probably should wish Coventry to win really but I suspect many would like to see Rob Edwards go up to get one over our owners !
Happy days. I think we took 48,000 for the Leyland Daf final against Tranmere a couple of years before the Carlisle game. Even then we asked for more as Tranmere only sold 13,000 but the FA (or whatever twat was in charge back then) said no.
Fortunate enough to have been at them both, the 95 one was unreal for me personally, 16/17 years old, St George’s day, blisteringly hot, remember wandering round the ground before KO and there were just pissed up sun burnt bodies all over them grassy banks that surrounded the ground, great days
We.went for a few pre match beers at Harrow on the hill, about six stops on the tube from the ground, there were Blues everywhere there as well, absolute glorious chaos.
Good luck to both Cov & Luton - soak it up and try and enjoy it. Even though the nerves will be at a max, remember that these days don't come by too often. Remember nearly all of it last year despite being out of it come kick-off. One of the best days of my life. Looking forward to the game.
To the Cov and Luton fans going tomorrow absolutley enjoy every minute. It’s such a class day out….. if you have The Green Man get there early and the atmosphere is quality! If you have the Torch its shite go elsewhere. I did even enjoy last years final, had a few beers with forest fans on the train down who seemed more nervous than us, despite the (controversial result) it was a good day. If you win it’s absolutley unbelievable, missed my train stop, ended up in Cambridge and everyone wanted a beer with me after we beat reading. Everyone will be watching, and they want a part. It’s just a class, class day!
Train is in half hour, bag of nerves already. Need that first pint to calm me down! Good luck Luton... but not too much. Enjoy the day!
Best of luck Matt, and @BelizeHatter. It’s going to be one hell of a day. Game kicks off at 01:45 local for me so I’ll wake tomorrow morning to find out who’s going to be favourite with the bookies to go down next year..
Good luck Luton and Coventry fans on here! Today will be emotional catharsis for one of you. Delighted to see two sets of fans who’ve been through the mill get this chance, and a day of real joy for one of you.
Best of luck to both teams / fans etc.. Hopefully a Luton win just so as the Prem big guns have to endure Kenilworth Road which will be amusing but hopefully in normal time no extra or pens , don't wanna miss any of the boxing that starts at 7 . To any Luton fans on here , have you started building the new ground yet ?
Hope both sets of fans have took plenty of cash for refreshments etc... I think a bag of crisps at Wembley is £4 , bet it's about £9 for a pint .
