How did you know what I was planning on doing to celebrate?
Still the best FA cup final ever IMO. And not just because we won it. Although that obviously helped. I might watch the DVD later.
28 years. Jesus, is it really that long ago?
Yep and I remember it like it was just ................ well, 28 years ago.
And that is all it takes, a bit of success. Okay winning the FA Cup is a bit more than a little success, but being at the right end of the division, staying there, playing decent stuff puts bums back on seats, makes this manager decision crucial.
Or maybe in Rugby, if we move there.Oh! Happy Days. The world has changed so much. We in Coventry seem to now see this day as being the New Year's Day. I have an idea to dissolve the council in the city and have a mayor. Then we can make this date a national holiday in Coventry and Warwickshire.
If you substitute the black leather thong for a pair of granny pants, then yes.Is that your Russian wife Otis
"Not now, dear. There's a new Simon Gilbert piece on Wasps here."
We were right at the front of the queue in that building having got there for 7.30am (couldn't sleep). Just before the first train was due to leave the line of fans was hundreds of yards long and being at the front we started a Mexican wave. Everybody joined in and the wave snaked its way inside the shed and then out into the streets and eventually, after several minutes, we could see it continue over the bridge outside the station in Warwick Road. Lovely memories of a great dayI remember bits of the day; queuing up at Cov Train Station in a big cattle shed,....
I feel old !28 years. Jesus, is it really that long ago?

And surely at the time just like me, you wondered how long it would be before we reached another Cup final at Wembley{ after the Charity Shield of course !?} I had a feeling I wouldn't see the likes of it again and it was all the more special for that uniqueness !
Gutted I can't remember it. Too young.
At least you were alive when we won it
i was 12 went on the train with my dad and younger brother, can't remember as much about the day as I do the semi and quarter finals for some reason.
I went to the final. Living in London at the time I bought a ticket simply by walking into a theatre agent outlet and paying £60 cash which was a big mark up at the time. No queuing, in and out in 10 minutes. Never saw any other round except the big one. I was unbelievably fortunate.
