    Interesting.

    I don’t have mental images of the forumites beyond their avatars.

    Bit thrown by the GD change up a couple of years ago.

    I'm not getting much of a feeling of cup final fever, is there anything in the town centre to celebrate our impending thrashing by City?

    Feels more like a bit of a cold than a fever.

    I remember there being all sorts in town in '84. Clements was full of final merchandise. Me and my brother pestered my dad until he gave in and bought us a pack of Watford sweatbands.

    I saw an advert for the FA Cup final on the BBC before MotD over the weekend. Of course it was all Man City, with a photo of Deeney at the end. We were called WAT-ford for some unknown reason. Watford is pronounced Wotford….not WATford dumb ass.

    Good thinking Stevo. I see your plan. Yes I've heard that the bus is the best and quickest way to get to Wembley on 18th. Alternatively I believe it only takes 2 hours to walk from Watford Town Centre. Train is the worst by far - can take up to 5 hours.

    Congratulations. You are one of the few people left in the country who still watches or listens to anything put out by the BBC (apart from Gardeners World)

    We are spelt Watford though so why would they put "Wotford" ?

    Or did you mean the "WAT" bit was in capitals and you say people don't say like that ...

    (Personally I would !)

    Just saw the video Stevo posted on another thread with the 84 cup final build up. Do they still do all that? Walking around in their suits etc? The stadium looked rammed and the players weren’t even in kit (obviously) so that must have been an hour before ko?

    What time everyone planning on getting inside the stadium on the day? What time do things start?

    In ‘84, due to a prior engagement, I didn’t get onto the terrace until an hour before kick-off and I was virtually the last person to arrive. I made sure I was there much earlier in ‘99 to take it all in.

    I'm going to get there as soon as the gates open and enjoy the fair priced, high quality refreshments that Wembley Stadium offers.

    Does he know we are owned by overseas people and have a number of foreign players?

    Maybe less than Man City though...

    Well he isn't very keen on having overseas people/workers here generally (even if he is married to one..) but it was a bit of a joke anyway.

    If there was no BBC I would not have a TV. ITV, Channels 4 & 5 are poor and as for Sky... (and people pay for this?).

    Oh joy, Farage has managed to turn this forum’s only ever Wembley cup final thread into a political ****-smearing contest.

    More fool us for being drawn into discussing him.

    Or for certain posters to lack a sense of humour.

    Then again, looking over this forum, that much is ******* obvious.

    TVOR being a Leave voter may very well be the least surprising thing of all time.
