Not going :(

[East Stand Ste]

it is really starting to hit home how gutted I am about not going to Wembley, with all the facebook check-ins at various London destinations! Really envy the 40,000 that are going today!! Still I will be watching with several pints......

Your feeling like Cinderella is now getting through to me as well reading all the posts about people on their way.
My mate Rog with his nephew,my brother Pete with his mate David plus the son-in-law and grandson,my mate John and his grandson Ryan making their way up from Rochester and my son Ian with his mate Gary drinking their way to Wembley.
Me-I'll watch the first-half at home on TV,then it's a taxi (booked for 3-50) armed with radio and i-phone for the short journey (during half-time) to Bournemouth Airport and then trying to get the bar staff to make sure the TV is on the right Sky Channel.
Fortunately deep-down for one of the rare times in my life I'm not too concerned which way the result goes because if we go up it will be a season of real struggle and this is not a team on a par with the 106 side which was a Premier League side in waiting.
Also after all these years I have finally sussed that whatever I do has no bearing on the result and even long held superstitions make no difference although it has taken a very long time to realise that.

If we lose I will feel for the fans there and everywhere but I really don't think this is the one-off opportunity that the Bolton game was because we have shown that with a squad that is unexceptional we can still challenge whereas back in 95 it felt as though the chance might never arise again.
By writing this I had hoped that I had got the thought of losing out of my system but no,it hasn't worked so I'm going to put the socks on in the right order,get the apple ready for half-time plus all the other stupid superstitions as they just might make the difference!!!!.
URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Stranded in Liverpool. Gutted. Hope that'll be missing out on a great victory though. Oh and my sister's taking my ticket!

Watching from sports bar in Budapest with my eight year old. Kinda suspect that we might be the only ones in 'legends'. Still, doesn't really matter where you are. Stomach will be flipping come 4pm

Me neither, will be ensconced in a bar Madrid. Will start on the cokes and proceed rapidly to Guinness.

A £370 bill from my MOT ruined my day out at Wembley!!

Working in South Korea - unbelievably gutted.

As usual, marooned in distant St Louis. I had thought of finding a bar that was serving breakfast with the game, but I think I'll just sit in bed with my laptop. Happy day, everyone. What a privilege to support a club that has served up yet another great occasion for us.

G'morning to all stranded in the States, or just generally not able to make the game otherwise. I am about to get to work on my 2nd very strong cup 'o coffee to get the blood flowing. Too early in the day to have such an andenaline rush, lol. Anyone gonna do an official match thread?

Not only not going, but local bar has the wrong sort of Sky, so can't show it. Watching on the internet isn't quite the same. URZZZZZZ
