Would you go to Wembley if we make it? (7 Viewers)

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I'd definitely go.

It would be annoying in the sense that it is a competition that is being boycott because it's a shambles, and also the feeling of pure hatred towards the owners everyone has. However, if you break it down, no matter how mickey mouse it all is, it might be our last chance to go to Wembley (for a while or ever).

We should all go and support the team, and also use it as an opportunity to come up with a cunning protest against the owners en masse.

Brighton U21 next round at home, looking at teams left I don't give us much hope.... but we can dream. But as we all know it will end up been a nightmare

In the programme for the Man Utd v Cov 4th round tie in 1987, there is a joke / cartoon where Cov fans are singing Wembley and the Man Utd fans comment that we don't know where it is and just follow them as they are always going there and know the way.

A very ironic joke that backfired on them but up to then teams only played at Wembley in cup finals, now play-offs, semi finals, JPT are played there but to have only gone there twice in our history is pretty poor.

I've only been to Wembley twice, Cup Final and Charity Shield. I would never go and see England or any such shit like that so I would love for us to get there. My wife has promised to take our son if we do get there.

I went to old Wembley once, a school trip for a friendly vs Uruguay. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say WORST FOOTBALL MATCH EVER PLAYED.

You obviously missed CCFC vs Bradford on Bonfire Night at Highfield Road back in the day.

Oh dear God don't remind me.

Pretty much the only match I can ever remember where nothing happened. Absolutely zilch from either side for the entire 90 mins.

It was an abomination of a game.

Let me guess was that in the Don Mckay era?

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

No, I would come one here and moan. And then moan some more.

You'd be ok Torchy. It's only another 50 miles further than Sixfields.

So would you, it would be on the TV.

Who needs TV when you have your own personal stream of every game we play.

Alas, I wouldn't be able to make it.

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

With new owners that do right by the Football Club I'd jump at the chance. I'm not a fair weather supporter. I've never been like that. Fifty odd years prove that.

 

[ajsccfc]

On the flipside of that Bradford game, I remember a 0-0 at HR against Spurs that felt like the greatest goalless game I've ever seen. I was only young but I'm sure it was around Christmas and Paul Stewart was playing for them at the time.

Also, queueing for Middlesbrough tickets at the HR ticket office in the snow and the staff coming out with hot chocolate for people waiting. Different world now innit, football.

No - IIRC early 2000's maybe McAllister in charge?

I was most likely there but would never remember to that level of detail unfortunately, or not.

Look at those star names. Kevin MacDonald, Steve Sedgeley, some other lesser stars like Gary something and Paul somebody

That's the game when Gazza broke his arm trying to smack Lloyd I think.

 

[ajsccfc]

Can't remember the Boro game at all, but I wasn't freezing my balls off for nothing. 3-0 spanking!

[torchomatic]

I remember the game when Lloyd broke his leg. He was sitting up on the stretcher waving to the crowd. They'd have to have oxygen nowadays.

Did we also play them after we had been relegated from the Prem last day I think that was a shocker.

 

[higgs]

When it comes to Wembley appearance we need to grab them when they come along

The way I'm feeling at the moment, probably not. Especially if we were facing some joke u23 team.

 

[Steve.B50]

Bit of a dream but of course we would all go, I enjoy a good away day.

 

[Astute]

I wouldn't go. I am sure that my face would look better without a nose.

 

[Brylowes]

Just checked and the EFL Trophy final is on Sunday 2nd April.

Yay, the week before the Grand National, good news all we have to do is get there now :bag:
You'd think they could play a day early wouldn't you, just for us

24 players on duty, 20 English, 2 Scottish, 1 Welsh and 1 Icelander.
Things have certainly changed haven't they.

Erm, are you going then or not.

 

[wingy]

I'm confused.
The forum police set so many boundaries as to what category we all fall into.
Currently I intend to not attend the Ricoh further this season.
I have said I would attend both FA Cup/Checkatrade Cup matches should they open the stand I currently sit.
So I may hold to that possibility If I can sit in Row K block 18.
If Fisher Is still here in April I will Avoid Wembley.

 

[Otis]

Nope! Certainly not.

That is based of the obvious reality though that there is more chance of Morgan Freeman giving me a blow job than the City getting to Wembley.

I think you're wrong, think TM and MV have been working hard
To put an unbeatable cup team together.

Have they? Okay.

At which club?
