We travelled down on the train from Yorkshire the day before ( quicker journey than Norwich to London ) , so was well placed to meet up with DG , Northern Canary , Sminky and the others . Went to some great pubs before the game , before drinking a last ghastly beer near the ground . It was a day of fabulous sights and sounds , manic celebrations , and belief ,rounded off nicely by a night of drinking in central London before the DLR back to the hotel for a solid nights sleep before the train back to Yorkshire the next day .
Needless to say the whole day was spoilt a few weeks later by an unambitious Board , a clueless manager and a crap striker who managed 3 goals all season resulting as we all know to a prompt return to where we had come from . Winning at Wembley should have been just the start of something special but wasn’t , so sadly I don’t look back on it with too much fondness
