I heard Hi Ho Silver Lining on the radio this morning which was, I seem to remember, one of the songs they played post match at Donny in 2008. Surely a good omen for this week? Anyone got any more? Perhaps you've had the opportunity to kick a cherry and white cat (if there is such a thing) or you've found your lucky wembley 82 pants in the back of a drawer?

Anyway, jeff beck has sealed it for me

Tony Christie - Amarillo, and he was craven park on good friday

Walking home through warm drizzle after a rubbish day at the office reminded me of Wembley 2013.

Ominous.

So I checked the weather for Friday and it should be clear. Good omen?

The United States elected a new President and Greater London a new mayor in 2008. It was an Olympic year. Hull City Tigers gained promotion to the Premiership.

Mind you, none of those things happened in 2005.

We had the worst draw in 2005. This year's is even harder though.

Yes, the other 4 of the top 5 (probably) if we beat all the odds and went on to win it

When you stand back from it, it's a ridiculously tough ask.

Undoubtedly the greatest CC win ever if we pull it off

Correct. Won't happen though.

Castleford Song and as most of you dislike another form of the Tigers ( Hull City ) surely this isn't suitable

I think you're getting mixed up with sweet caroline numb nuts. If you'd said sheff weds or wolves then maybe. Anyway, it isn't our song, just one they played after our semi victory in 08. Let's hope we don't release some embarrassing single off the back of any songs that get played if we do happen to win as that would be pathetic

And I've supported city for over 30 years

We finished the regular season at the top of the pile and have previously beat everyone else left in the cup. How's that for an omen?

That's a bit pessimistic. 80 mins away from Wembley, in what appears to be essentially a home crowd. Then only a further 80 against a team we've beaten twice (presumably). It's doable

In 2005, we won the semi in our away kit.
In 2008, we won the semi final in our away kit
In 2013, we won in our away (magic) kit
In 2016 we are playing in our away (magic kit).

Another fan here too. 70 years coming up for me next month. Confident I will be at Wembley for the second time this year!(Hope it's against Warrington).
