another from Wembley bound trip 1986.
Sadly the guy in the green coat holding the scarf was Terry Cummins who passed away recently.
Bloody hell - I am on the second picture. Are you sure this was Chelsea ? This looks like the crew that used to go from the Hat and Feathers in town after we were kicked out of the land of cakes as a base. Anyone remember the trip to Carlisle when we stopped off in Kendal and the Blackpool after the game ?
yes the lads used to meet at the Hat and Feathers.We were called Ancoats/Newton St Branch due to the fact a lot of lads were postman at Newton St Branch.Tommy Muir used to run it.
It was definitely Chelsea Full Members Final.

I remember getting off the train in lokeren from Brussels on the day of the game wondering if we were a bit early, just started walking to the town centre and could faintly hear a singing, as we got closer it grew louder and turning the corner into the main square we were met by a sea
blues!
From then on it was carnage, drank the town dry! Pub after pub closing because they'd ran out of beer.
How that temporary stand didn't collapse I'll never know!
Back into Brussels and ended up in a bar til that was closed down when a lad of inbreds from stalybridge set the fire sprinklers off!
My best trip of any sort ever
