on front and on back.

I was there!

There's someone who would have alot of stories.

Similar one, or maybe the same (as the OPs) in Block 504, row 24 (the row in front of me). He was pretty good actually, got our area rocking a few times when we were starting to flag.

The thing that sticks in my mind is the number of coach spotters in the coach park near the east stand. They were all fat middle aged balding (single) men busily scribbling each number down as we pulled in. I must be missing something

Back at the Hotel on Saturday night my wife and myself had a meal and a few more drinks to celebrate.The Waitress brought me a pint of Lager and the wife had a glass of Champagne. As she put them on the Table she spilt them both over my lap and covered me in Ale. she was really apologetic and amazed when I told her that nothing could possibly upset me and I actually invited her to spill another one over me. Just for good measure we also gave her a decent tip.

Seeing Wardy bounce down at least 15 steps on his backside was hilarious

Walked past that Team Robbo (Luke Robinson's sister, fiance and annoying friends) outside the ground.

Our kid went to the ladies' on her own and managed to somehow get lost. After standing round outside the ladies' toilets for about ten minutes looking a bit of a prick, she came running up sobbing her eyes out, with a woman in a 'Wire at Wembley' shirt and a female steward. They found her outside the Gents', as she'd assumed I'd gone to the toilet, too. Turned out the woman was the tutor at a First Aid Course I was on. Small world.

Also, desperate for a pee and not wanting to lose her again, I peed into an empty pintpot in a corner of the gents' loos.
"We're not in orford now, lad" someone quipped.
"I know," I said, "that's why I'm ing in the cup, not on the floor."

And, we won the Challenge Cup!

Now The Wire!

Where to start:

* Almost totalling my car on the M6 after some Dingleberry in a white van decided to slam his brakes on for no reason on the motorway.

* Talking in a pub in Watford to a guy with a Yorkshire accent going on about how his team are going to get battered without realising he was wearing a Wire T-Shirt (It was a long drive to Watford!)

* Seeing Wembley Stadium from the train on the way to Euston Station.

* Hearing someone shouting my name about 3 times, and after looking around, I saw DJ Birchy legging it towards me!!

* Running to the toilet in the hotel room as I was desperate for a dump, but not stopping to realise that the curtains on the window were not drawn, and a group of people in the building opposite were watching my every move and cheering.

* Getting two chavs the telling off of their lives from a relative by "inadvertantly" pressing the STOP button on the shuttle bus from the Skolars game (they'd already done it twice and were warned not to do it again!).

* Seeing one of our party stand in disbelief on Kings Cross underground as two of us board a underground train to head towards Aldgate East. The idea was to board it with us!!

* Wetherspoons breakfast on Saturday morning. Great way to start the day, great way to off the dietitian though.

* Train journey down to Wembley Central, taking in the atmosphere of the streets outside the station, full of RL fans.

* Trying to trek up that hill to get to the Green Man pub. I swear I'm going to need an inhaler soon! Atmosphere in there was fantastic, fans mingling everywhere, light hearted banter and plenty of changing. Plus managed to meet a few people from off here, even if it seemed that they didn't want to meet me!

* Doing the Wembley walk and trotting up the concourse steps and seeing the stadium in all it's glory. Never gets tired, even if it was my third visit.

* Having a great bit of banter with a Saints fan sitting next to me and some Hudds fans in the row in front.

* Being extremely emotional at the end of the game, so much so I cried on one of my mates shoulders , before sending a text to about 50 odd people simply saying "WHOO HOO! GET THE **** IN THERE! ".

* Seeing Lee Briers finally get his hands on some silverware. My god, he's not half deserved it!!

* Getting a wave off some of the Wire players as they did a lap of honour as I was the only Wire fan left in my the part of the stadium and it wasn't difficult to spot me.

* The homecoming (despite the rain).

* Knowing that we will be known as the "Defending Challenge Cup holders" for the next 12 months!

* All the pictures that have appeared on Facebook over the last few days showing people having a cracking weekend!

Got to the top of Olympic Way (Wembley way in old money) and they had some Sweaty Sock wearing a skirt (Kilt) playing "When The Saints Go marching In"

When we questioned him he said he thought it was Saints vs Leeds playing

Coming out of the tube station at the top of Wembley Way and asking one of the undergound workers for directions to the Stadium...!!

Some random local kicked off in the Euston Flyer pub at Saturday lunch time, smashing a big stack of pint glasses and then punching in two front door windows, more than a little to the surprise of the dozens of RL fans in there at the time. Whatever the bird at the bar had said to him, he wasn't happy.

Our fear was that RL fans would get the blame. Was still picking glass out of my shoes on Wembley Way.
