It also meant a big zoom in of my sunburnt face was on the backpage of the Journal on the Monday. My dad was in a similar seat in '96 (mine was closer to the halfway line) - he managed to get his programme signed by Warren Barton. Which pretty much summed the day up tbh. Aye mine was in 96 and 98. Tunnel was on my left. Think i was about 3 rows from the front in 98, awful view. In 99 I was more in the corner but in the upper tier which was much better and in 2000 I was towards tne back of the lower section which was ok. Just totally rubbish memories of the place though.

'96 I was pretty much bang on the halfway line, halfway up (opposite the steps). Pretty much the perfect seat to watch us get thumped off Man Utd. '00 was opposite side, but about halfway around the stand at the back. There was a big group of us with tickets together that day; I ended up under a pile on a few rows from my seat when Lee equalised. Yep, my memories are mainly shite of the place tbh. Drinking expensive cans outside the Torch near Wembley Way before watching us lose four times in almost successive seasons meant that the excitement of it all disappeared - there was a grim inevitability about '99, which was the competitive game where we really did just roll over and have our bellies tickled (I won't count '96). Wembley was exciting to get to - the first time I went the coach came in from a cracking angle, with the Twin Towers visible for ages before getting there - but once there the experience was remarkably shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to all those plus England Scotland in Euro 96.

Ikon Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Away first leg is the best thing about it. Couldn't have hoped for a better draw. Southampton can be really good like so one can never underestimate them. Howe will have us as ready as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) They're still a team who are effectively 4 points adrift of safety. An away Quarter Final would be awkward possibly and even over two legs it's not a given, but getting the bottom team in the league over two games with the second leg at home is surely as perfect as we could have hoped for after the Quarter Final draw apart from Charlton beating Man U.

NUFCDoog Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Haven't been able to sleep most the night panicking about not being able to get a final ticket  I know we're not there yet and need to calm the fuck down, but it's just so exciting man. I've got 8 points on my ST and have been to all the home ties and will go Southampton home so I would hope that puts me in fairly decent steady however they do it but still Thankfully we know Eddie will make sure the staff and players haven't shit the bed like me and a few of us thinking we're already there, still a job to do but what a chance we have.

I agree. And in the past, when we've got to the latter stages of Cup competitions, the pressure has got to the players and we haven't performed. I don't think that'll happen this time. Eddie is great at sending his teams out with the right mindset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 If we get to the final is it likely to be one ticket per season ticket holder or per name? Have two season tickets both in the same name that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 If we win vs Southampton away do we stick with our tradition of a post match celebratory photo?

Interpolic Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 It's just hit me that my granda who is a season ticket holder is 86 or something and probs won't want to go to Wembley if we get there. The final is on my birthday and I'm in London so hoping to God now that a) we get to the final and b) I can get a ticket.
