Yeah was a great weekend, and playing 2 games in 2 days was brilliant.
I'm sure your vivid memories like me wasn't so much the football but the running battles with Chelsea on the terracesMy first trip to Wembley, was only 5... my dad drove a minibus from the city club with his mates taking turns at the wheel. It was no place for a 5 year old but I remember it vividly. Like the rest, we left early, think we were half way home when the final score came through (:
We went from woodhouse park the northenden branch where did it go from the spread eagle/church area
I'm more of a March 22nd 1986 kind of guy.
We were getting some right stick for most of the game off this sad wank above us in the Scoreboard End and after our second goal went in we turned round to give it him back and he'd gone! It was about twenty minutes before the end iirc!Lots of young faces in the away end that day!!
Great memories.

I used to go with them a lot. They used to leave from the Land o' cakes which always opened around 6.30am for far away games, back door job. Then after trouble after one derby they used the hat and feathers. Same early starts. Some of the lads were Royal Mail workers on Newton St and would finish their night shift and go straight to the Cakes or Feathers, a few drinks, sleep on the journey there and back and straight into work as we arrived back.I remember two coaches going from the Hat and Feathers Mason Street just off Rochdale rd,great day and top lads on those coaches,also lots of booze was drunk before the trip and on the way to London.I remember last year someone posted photos from the trip,how do you find them again.
