Tears in rain Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Paid for the cheap tickets at top tier and Wembley stadium had double booked them ended up sitting in a much better block by accident! Wasn't sure if I was going to get in for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Think I ended up back in Bristol about midnight. The M4 was chaos on the way home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Top day out. And because we were that good at the time, the outcome was never in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there was an accident. I remember sitting with Oskar and his mum for over an hour in one of the service stations as nothing was moving on the motorway, we popped in the services and it seemed like the rest of the City fans had had the same idea. We then couldn't get out of the service station! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Great day out, don't remember much of the game though. Got into Victoria and the pub at the station was full of City and the Gents had been well and truly stickerbombed, didn't think there'd be that many coming up from the south coast!

That's what I mean, the match itself was a comfortable, routine victory, the sort we churned out for fun during that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 And as if the result of that game wasn't in any doubt, we reminded Walsall of our then superiority when they came to the Gate for the league fixture. If memory serves; we toyed with them in the first half at home and then moved up a gear in the second 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberDan Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Great day and the best seats I've ever had at Wembley. Cucumber and mint sandwiches after the game in the players lounge after (not a prawn in sight!). Still got my passes from the day and a team sheet!

BS3City Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Some very memorable images there but look at all those empty seats! Obviously we didn't take as many as the Sags, plus they had 20,000 locked outside. The camera never lies eh...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I didn't go. My Mrs told me to reign it in a bit and decide what games to go to so I went to Bradford and Chesterfield instead. I've seen city in 4 finals so it was a 'no brainer' for me. I didn't feel so great at the time watching the match on the tele though. Bloody woman!
