What a fantastic weekend, great memories - Only just coming down now!!

Friday night picking up the mini bus then all of us decking it out with our Tony Smiths Barmy Army banners and flags etc

Saturday Morn - Picking up our crew in various parts of Warrington and seeing everyone walking (fully decked out) to their various trains, coaches etc

The journey down stopping at the services on the M40 (not many Wire seemed to go that way!) and everyone asking who we were and where we were going

Pre match on Wembley way - Missus & mate DID have photo's with bananaman! having the banter with other fans and meeting old friends

Game - dropping my pint, getting half of one all over me that was destined for some troublesome Wakey fans and the result

Saturday night - Watching game again until falling asleep in drunken stuppor

We saw you lot, think you were going past the Bobby Moore statue...you were the funniest thing we saw all day, absolutely brilliant.

Memories..

Arriving at Bank Quay station for the Wire Flyer to be met with a legion of Primrose and Blue. (Never seen the platform as busy)! Shouting up to the guys who were near the top of one of the massive Crossfields towers who were watching us congregate.

Good laugh going down on the train, everyone adorning the train coach with the free flags they handed out.

Spotting the Wembley Arch for the first time from the carriage window - cue mass uproar.

Meeting up with family at the Hotel Ibis bar - stopping a few pints of cider from going bad!

Being overwhelmed by the size and spectacle that greeted us when we entered the ground for the first time.

Seeing Wolfie score the try under the sticks.

Using my programme as a visor for most of the match as I was sat directly facing the sun!

The joy of seeing us lift the cup.

The never-ending journey which was our train ride home.

Getting p#ss wet thorough standing on the town hall grass watching the lads parade the cup!


A couple of days that will live long in the memory!

Irons fans, best in the world.

I saw you on the concourse by one of the food stands. I was the blue and yellow fairy

'"

U mean wolfie knock on under the sticks

Jesus Christ. Did Ganson miss that as well?

Ha I saw that, good job it wasn't a bad omen.

So you told `em "We`re The Wire...The many, many Wire"

Arriving in some dog end of the earth someplace in london on friday night around midnight, trying to find some food and it was really quite intimidating and scaryish about.. and then... we see a wire shirt!!

Just walking the 2 mile walk from the hotel to the stadium, everyone beeping and cheering to each other, and then the masses outside the greyhound pub, buying bottles of WKD from the offlicense nearby and the guy behind the counter opening them for us.

Seeing everyone in fancy dress.

Walking into the stadium, and all you can see is half of wembley stadium in blue and primrose.

Wolfie scoring the try.

The 10 second countdown at the end of the game. Players stop ready for the hooter to jump on each other celebrating.

THe whole of the sunday, coming back beeping everyone on the motorway, getting back to warrington and playing chelsea dagger full blast with the windows down and beeping everyone, and loads of people cheering us or dancing to it.

Getting my champions tattoo today

Day of the Semi Final

Standing on Newton High Street late morning, with my jersey on, in a Flintoff pose, as 2 coachloads of Wigan fans pass by. Some of the 'ladies' on the coach didn't seem too happy and showed their disapproval.

Texting my missus at half time telling her that in 2 hours time I'd be stood in the same spot waving the coaches back.
