always, Boosh

The correct reply to Boosh is always "Yawn".

He bites nearly every time.

If he doesn't bite, he retreats and comes back with a different username.

In a caravan in Cornwall watching on something like this:



Travelled down the day before in Dad's brown Ford Granada Estate with blue ribbons on the wing mirrors.

 

[Macca1987]

Outside Wembley sitting on the grass hill, half and half Cov and Spurs supporters, then everyone taking the piss out of Gary Newbon when he walked past (think that's how you spelt his name)

Rented or owned, part of a wedding fleet?

it was borrowed from a good friend

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Pretty sure I was inside Wembley by now.

A fine car probably the most comfortable ever!

This day 37 years ago
7:45am on the way to Anderton’s cash and carry warehouse on the Stoney Stanton Rd, To buy 96 cans of lager for the journey down to Wembley ⚽️( between 5 of us in the car )
Those 96 , included 12 for the driver

looks a little irresponsible in hindsight !

 

[HerneBayGaz]

me and my three mates had been supporting Coventry for years and always used to say that if we ever got to Wembley we'd either walk there or go in a chauffeur driven Rolls (never thinking it would ever occur)
anyway we definitely weren't bloody walking so we had a chauffeur driven white roller
What a day

Worth every penny I bet

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

The days when Wembley wasn't a regular occasion. I was in our end , Davy Crockett hat , standing just behind the guy holding up the florescent smiley face.
I always told people I'd only go to Wembley if Cov got there. That dream came true.
Who'd of thought I'd go four times in the last seven years.

 

[rhino1002]

Worth every penny I bet

the deal was i had to get the chauffeur a ticket
fortunately in those days i had a lot of contacts in the football world and the club

 

[Johhny Blue]

Early satellite tv days. House sitting in Canada not really sure if I would get the game. Didn’t come in until the last minute. First thing I saw was Killer leading the team out.

 

[glasgowfan]

Living in southwest France, listening to the match on BBC World Service (pre-internet days!)

 

[letsallsingtogether]

At Wembley watching the Mighty Sky Blues

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

In top tier behind goal.Gripped by drama of extra time. Not sure of exact time of Lloyd's assisted goal. Must have been almost exactly 37 years ago this minute

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

I’m intrigued that so many of us remember getting in early on the day. I remember being locked out due to a bomb scare at Wembley until quite late on (managed to see Bobby Moore, Steve Davis and Jimmy Tarbuck play for Cov in the ITV celebrity warm up game tho).

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

On a train from Sheffield with 2 Spurs fans to stand (not sit) in the Tottenham End…

Agony and ecstasy rollled into one.

I can honestly say I’ve never missed Coventry play at Wembley ever

 

[Otis]

Rolling around soiling my nappy and eating mud probably

Same.

Only trouble is I was in my 20's at the time.

 

[rockwoodfleet]

Sitting in my cousins house in Toronto Canada telling him to shut up and let me watch the cup final! Bad enough they kept cutting away every 10 minutes for adverts !

Same.
Won 3 , drew 2 and lost 1.

 

[SomersetSB]

Right now at this minute, standing in a queue on Michaelmas Road waiting to board a train dressed in a gorilla outfit.
I was bloody boiling.
Our train broke down due to an overhead power line issue just outside Rugby and we had to get off and walk along the track towards the front of the train and re embark on carriages up front.

'Has the Sky Blue Express come far enough down the line?' minutes to go before the final whistle.
John Motson.

Same as me then!!

 

[oscillatewildly]

In West Germany - Final year of my short stint in the army.
Half a dozen of us in the living room of a married quarters flat of a Stoke City fan!

 

[Chris1987]

On the train with plenty of tinnies.

I kicked up a stink as I had a ticket for the Spurs end. A member of the constabulary escorted me to the Cov end and asked me where I wanted to stand. Happy days.

The ticket I bought from Highfield road happened to be in the Spurs end. Anyway went down on the train with a few mates and managed to swap it with a Spurs fan who had a ticket for our end. Soon after I thought bollucks hope it isn’t a forgery. But it wasn’t. In the ground when Houchens goal went in I bashed my flag into a guy in front and apologised but he didn’t give a fuck .
Massive queue for trains on way back. On the train everyone was strangely quiet. Think everyone was emotionally drained but then one guy shouted up,fuckin hell lads we’ve just won the Cup. Cue singing all the way home. When we got back the town was going mental. I sat on the bonnet of some strangers car with my flag flying high. I was told that some pubs in the town actually ran out of beer. Finally met up later on with my mates in Earlsdon where the party continued.

...37 years ago today?

Probably watching the Sooty Show. I loved that show as a 6 year old.

 

[bigfatronssba]

In my cot being told to STFU until 6pm.

Apparently I obliged as well

So was I for another month

 

[Otis]

If I remember rightly, I was so excited I got to Wembley at 10.30, believing there would be a real buzz going on, but I think we were just about the only people there. It was absolutely deserted and we just sat about for hours.

I lost my mate when we when in the ground, found him at the front of the queue at the train station we were one of the first back to cov into the rocket, met a West Ham fan, he couldn’t believe the atmosphere around the city.
at one point we serving ourselves in the pub that was down the alley behind the silver sword can’t remember the name.
Even the police were joining in, ribbons on cars kicking footballs back to us.
We walked down to park lane but they wouldn’t let in us ‘cus we had jeans on!!

I can tell that you’re very passionate about this subject.

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

Coach from The Phoenix with dad, uncle, dad's mates and my footy team, then sat for hours on Wembley steps waiting for turnstiles to open. ! 14yo...so yet to turn to booze to help me cope with watching City. Unbelievable day with lifetime of memories of my late dad.
Never forget seeing the side netting bulge off GMK and then seeing the cup catch the sunlight as Killer lifted it. Perfect day and few days have ever lived up to it.... even birth of my kids

That’s the one!
