RedM Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I remember it well, can't believe it's that long ago! Wasn't it only the first or 2nd year of the competition for lower divisions, 'little' teams just didn't get a chance of playing at wembley before that. I thought I'd only get to Wembley once, (we went again the following year but we won't talk about that!), so brought an expensive ticket, about £13 I think!!! Oh and we ducked out of a family wedding to be there too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fct Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Oh god yes I was there, on the side near the goal where the two second half goals went in - had the perfect angle to see Riley's second goal (a header, wasn't it??) arc in past the Bolton keeper. Brilliant day and going back down the M4 was great with all the cars with red scarves out the windows beeping to each other like mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeovilmac Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 If you're looking for another omen from that day, ask yourself who Phil Brown made his name with for years before becoming a manager in his own right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically remember them socring when we were 3-0 up as my uncle had a bet on that being the score (3-1) , only for me to turn and laugh at him as i'd already seen the ref blow ... never realised it was 24th May though ..until now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
