I never ever stand.I got told to sit down tonight by 2 guys behind. If I can't stand up a few times in a semi final I'm not sure when I can??
Have shed a couple of tears of joy myself in car on way home, my boys are laughing at me but who cares we get to go to wembley and i get to take them on what will be a wonderful wonderful day, Up The Cov!
30 years of hurt, we're returning to WEMBLEY. :happy:Watched it at home with my 8yo and welled up seeing the sheer joy in his face as he said "I can't believe I'm going to watch Coventry at Wembley".
I was an 11yo at the Charity Shield and would never have thought it would be 30 years before we'd be back there.
So to all the grumps out there, we all know it's not an 'achievement' to get to the final of a tinpot cup, but the significance of it is massive. It's the place of our only success. It's a chance for families to relive v happy memories. Grown up kids to take their own kids and maybe, just maybe, we'll stay up and look back at this moment at the point when things finally started to get better.
Well that was all poetic nonsense! I'm off to bed. :shamefullyembarrased:
This is the most positive, wonderful and joyous post on this forum for many a day.
I honestly hope that you and your boys enjoy every second.

Am not a season ticket holder, simply down to the amount of home games i can get to, always join my my boys as JSB's but if i cannot get 4 tickets for wembley i will go freakin mental if Man ure supporters are there before me and any other sky blue!
67 , 70, 87 , 17 . !!! Seven's are lucky number !!! I'm going to put these numbers on the lottery. :wacky:I think we should all thank U2. In the Spring of 87 they released the very fine album, The Joshua Tree.
This year they have announced 'The Joshua Tree 30 year anniversary tour'. It's our lucky charm.
I also have tickets to their show at Twickenham.
Know the feeling. And I get up in 4 hours to get ready to go to work :smuggrin:What a night!

Can anyone guess what happened season 70/71 ?
Watched it in me pub with Brother Nephew and son, last 30 mins were torture, don't mind telling yaI can't believe it. I thought that I had gone soft when I admitted that I had a tear in my eye thinking about my lad seeing us at Wemberleeee. Now I know that I am not alone
Job well done buddyWell I for one am over the moon...don't care what anyone says...my son who is 19 said its his best day of football ever in his life....good enough for me

I'll go along with that, and the fact the lad scored from the half way line at half time, which never normally happens
Same here, just the tickets needed too!Premier inn Wembley Park, just booked family room £68.50 inc breakfast,
Just need tickets now:emoji_pray:, bring it on.:emoji_grin:
Hang on, there are unattached players regularly scoring from the halfway line at the RicohI reckon he's about the third this season. A fair few!
Long time reader, first time poster here. I'd consider myself part of the "younger generation" who many people have said this result was for. I'm 25 so had several years of mediocrity (at best) in the Premiership, a relegation, mediocrity (again at best) in the Championship, another relegation, and, bar the first half of last season, a lot of dross in League 1. Most importantly I missed out on '87.
While I agree this is a tin pot cup, we are a tin pot club currently and this is just where we find ourselves. I was at the game tonight and at the final whistle I too shed a few tears and feel completely justified in doing so, as even the remotest piece of success is everything we have been striving for since long before I first went to HR in '96. We can have no visions of grandeur atm, especially with SISU at the helm, but tonight was about so much more than them. It was about us as fans being given a semblance of hope and something to look forward to.
Hats off to everyone able to make it tonight. We are normally a fickle bunch of fans but I've rarely known a CCFC crowd get behind a team to that extent for an entire game. Let's enjoy our day out and hopefully have something to celebrate. PUSB!
Just booked my plane ticket, coming from California!
