How many times have you been to Wembley??

Just been trying to work it out; since the start of the 2010/11 season, have we (as a club) been there 24 times (not counting Spurs league games)? And has anyone been to all of them?
6 League Cup finals
4 FA Cup finals
8 FA Cup semi finals (including next month)
6 Community Shields (2 more at Villa and Leicester)

With possibly/hopefully 2 more to come by June 1st. Me? I've been 6 times.

Old Wembley, 3 with City
70, 74, 76 league cup finals

10 RL Challenge Cup finals

Bizarrely Dippers v West Ham 1981 league cup final, dad got tickets when City in semis and booked us a weekend in London.
New Wembley 1 Ireland RU World cup 2017.
Old Wembley always magical, the real theatre of dreams.
New Wembley soulless over priced big ground, totally lacking magic, mind you much preferred Maine Rd to the Etihad.

Forgot FA vase final 1985 with Fleetwood town, lost to Halesowen. Less than 20 000 on, bizarrely back the following Saturday 96,000 on for Wigan v Hull FC, think at least another 10,000 were on never seen Wembley so packed. My mate had no ticket but staggered up to the turnstile waved his bus badge and said " let me in for nowt I've bought a chara" turnstile keepers response was " I'm glad I wasn't on it your as pissed as a c**t. Incredibly he still let him in. The greatest game of rugby ever played either code and Wigan won. One of the best days ever took me a week to sober up.

It was a hyped up overpriced shithole then and I suspect nothing is changed.
 
Been to a number of non-City matches.
Off the top of my head — Leeds vs Chelsea, 1970; Leeds vs Sunderland, 1973. Both riproaring matches (where the right team won, as far as I'm concerned, even though in neither case were they at all expected to). I hated Leeds. But then, who didn't?
The very first professional football match, of any kind, that I saw: England vs Scotland, home internationals, 1967. Again, an astonishing atmosphere. The entire stadium seemed to be full of absolutely bladdered jocks. At the final whistle, all over the stadium, they were suggesting that England should hand over the World Cup. And they weren't joking. England vs Italy, 1977, in which Keegan was brilliant. I'm probably forgetting some.
Oddly, I went to the League Cup final between us and Wolves in 1974, and I have no memory whatsoever of it. Must have been a singularly disappointing match, which I simply blanked out. How do I know, then? Because I still have the programme for it in my papers.
