    Wembley travel.

    I'd imagine they would go as they normally do i.e. via Tamworth & Nuneaton to Rugby.

    Wembley Following

    My mate in Norwich supports Spurs and would have gone with us but for going on holiday early the next day. There must be many more examples, like him, out there, who will come along and support us.

    Paradise - TLS Match Report

    Excellent mate ! I couldn't be there but this description of the game (plus the club video) demonstrated what a terrific atmosphere it must have been. Roll on Monday afternoon !

    Exeter fans don't...........

    Scorer Wayne Clarke. Stinking hot day with around 50,000 Sky Blue fans. As Sills said, 'if we could get just half that figure to regularly come to HR, we would have such an atmosphere.'

    11500 sold by 8am this morning

    From my experience this year, you'll need a membership card as well to slide into the car park machine. I used an NT car park in Sheringham this year & the rules said that a window sticker by itself, wasnt sufficient. You can still borrow somebodys card & they'll never know the difference.

    The trains and Coventry station platform queue situation

    Strikes me that Cov station will be chaotic next Monday. Trains coming from London which will be terminating there so many non-footy passengers looking for buses to go on to Birmingham. Some city fans also wanting to use the same buses to use the Chiltern line. Loads of City fans wanting to go...

    Watching in Tenerife anyone?

    Ive watched English footy in bars around the Los Gigantes area. No problem finding the Cov game I would have thought where you will be staying. Finding a pack of Cov fans to share the experience may not be quite as easy. If a lot of blokes come in wearing red & white striped shirts, they may be...

    County fan, mostly in peace.... :-)

    Excellent post Flying Postie. Don't think there's too many on here that would disagree that the disallowed goal should have stood but you have to marry that up with Jon Stead wrestling Grimmer as you scored your legit goal. Decent officials would have scrubbed that one off too. Hope you make a...

    Well, You been giving it all the talk

    I've been in the Butchers Arms. Bewilderingly small place that was ground zero for the micropub revolution. 20 customers would probably be 2 or 3 more than comfortable. Wasn't that keen on the landlord but his beer was kept well. The butchers blocks for tables was something not likely to be seen...

    Happy 31st Anniversary!

    I must have missed that day. Did you never question why it was nicknamed Spew XI ?

    Happy 31st Anniversary!

    Even with winning the FA cup, how could you bring yourself to drink 'many, many pints of Brew XI ??? That was the biggest load of hoss piss produced in the Midlands then having the utter cheek to call it beer....

    parallel universe

    Yes. Peter Bodaks opening goal was an absolute screamer from way out on the right. Flight of the ball totally bamboozled the Watford keeper (Sherwood ?) as it corkscrewed through the air.

    Purity Bar

    For the 2nd consecutive week, my son and I had a beer in Dhillons brewery. Definitely a strange but enjoyable place to drink a pre-match beer. However, their prices are sky high so wont be making it a place of choice in future. Ist time, a pint of their own label stout & a bottle of coke was...
