My mates and myself got there at half five and the pub across road from the ground was packed, we had some cans in the car so I went back for them and when I got back the gates were opening so in we went. I had these eight cans down the back of my shirt and got a away with it. Brilliant spot behind the posts half way up the kop end. Even got two pints in the ground each. Fantastic occasion and I really felt for all those fans piling in even after halftime. A great night in our lives.

Erm, it lasted until your post....

I mangaged to get in 5 mins into the game but the traffic getting there I don't think I have ever seen again and don't want too.

Brilliant night, when they say the atmosphere was electric it was.

I was actually at work in a petrol station and as customers came in to pay, they stopped to watch my 14" portable telly. It finished with around 30 people packed into the kiosk all celebrating one of the greatest nights in our history.

I`m surprised we didn`t name a bar after it.

I had to work that night but wore my Hull shirt.By strange coincidence I had to deliver to Yeadon ,coming off the motorway I was next to a Widnes bus as we went round a roundabout.Got a few jeers and fingers.Funny the things you remember.I can hardly remember what I did last week.

I thought this was going to be a Sgt Pepper thread!

It was my 13th birthday the day before and I'd come up on an official bus with my aunt who worked for the club & knew the players well. I'd not missed a home game since 1978/9 season and was lucky enough to get a seat on the schools trip to Wembley (remember the old woooden benches along the sidelines anyone?)
We arrived after a shocking journey around 15minutes before kick off, tried to get in but the non moving mass of people in front of us to get to the stand was absolutely chaotic & though I wanted to hold my own & wait auntie wasn't as big as me so she decided to head back to the coach.
Sitting there with tears in my eyes, listening to the roar of the crowd & feeling so sad I wasn't in there it was the most bitter sweet memory I've ever had watching it on the tiny monitor on the coach


That's why I was so emotional watching us beat Leeds in 2005 having never seen us 'lift' the cup

C'mon U ullllahhhhh

Jeez mate, reading that I nearly cried for you!

Well I wasn't a year old when this happened but my Grandad loves telling the story.



Just glad for 2005, at least us younger ones have our own memories.

Never post - but reading this brought back a great memory - taking day off college getting there great game and atmosphere but my lasting memory was been stood next to an old guy must have been in his eighties in tears who told me that he had been at the 1914 final as child and never thought he would see it again.

39 and remember it well

It was a fab night. I went with my Dad. It was a surprise as I didnt think I was going then he suddenly said. "I got some tickets for the replay" I couldnt bel it. Such a great night remember it well. What year did we beat the Dobbins in the Yorkshire cup at Boothferry Park I think it was played? They only remember Wembley cup game with us.

Went with my family on a coach out of the old Humber Manures club off Stoneferry. The coach driver that evening wrote himself into folklore with all of us who traveled with him. How he got through the traffic and to the ground before the game kicked off I will never know, but he did. The game was unbelievable, the atmosphere amazing and the result, well it was perfect. I would love to see us win at Wembley of course, but I wouldn't swap the victories/occasions at Elland Rd and Cardiff for anything.
