Wembley!!!

[Finno]

If all goes well with the events at Wembley over the next couple of weeks, STEVENAGE BOROUGH are set to be involved in the first game there, the FA Trophy Final.

Won in extra-time today, and will face Kidderminster in the Final, which at the moment is scheduled to be the week before the FA Cup Final.

I can't wait!:D :D :D

[DinnyHoon]

There's already been a match at the new Wembley, and Chris Evans played in it :(

[Bonzo]

There's already been a match at the new Wembley, and Chris Evans played in it :(
That says something about the new stadium.
Chris Evans should be banned from every football stadium in the UK - he's cursed i tell you! CURSED!!!.

[Finno]

Right, first Professional Competitive Club game then.

Alan Shearer played 5-a-side there too the other week.

[Goalatzio]

Anyone going to Fa cup final?

[benandrews]

i want to but i dont know where to get tickets, :( i found some on the internet, ONLY 2000 Pounds :o i heard they were 35 :S

[Finno]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

After a couple of long months waiting, tomorrow is the day.

I'm off to Wembley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait :D

[KONSPIRACY]

Who are Stevenage playing? Hope you have a good day mate! Take some pics n post em up if you can :cool:

[Finno]

Cheers mate:)

We're playing Kidderminster who finished two places below us this season in the Conference, so it should be a close exciting game.

If anyone's interested it's on Sky Sports 1 (I think it's 1), 2:15 kick off.

I'll take some pictures and stuff but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to that kind of thing, so I'll probably struggle to get them onto the computer at all!

[Dark]

I'll take some pics with my camera but I'm not really sure if i can connect it to my comp.
I'll try though

[Finno]

Apparently there's a ****ing ban on cameras inside the stadium.

****ing *******s.

[Pie In The Sky]

Could be used as ammunition is guess.
Tad over the top though IMO.

[Spindryer]

*Cough

Camera built in phone - use it !

*Cough

[Finno]

Yeah, but the camera on my phone is useless unless what you're taking a picture of is less than two or three metres away.

I think it's something to do with rights actually Pie, but it's still a joke. People are obviously going to want to take pictures of the stadium. I'll still try and take my camera in.

Still, that is only the second most ridiculous thing I have heard from the FA. Stevenage fans have been warned that if they wear bald wigs (our manager is bald and so the club has been selling bald wigs) they may be questioned by the police. You couldn't make it up.

[Dark]

Ok I'll use my phone for pics then don't worry.

[Finno]

WHAT A ****ING GAME:) :D :) :D :)

2-0 down at half time and playing as though we couldn't put 3 passes together let alone score 3 goals!

Whatever the manager said at half time worked, we somehow managed to get equal at 2-2, and then with extra-time looming, Moro pops up to score his 35th goal of the season, and complete an incredible record of scoring in every round of this seasons trophy.

And then there was still time for Kiddy to miss from about two yards out, although I was sure at the time it had gone in.

Wembley itself was incredible, the whole walk up to the stadium, the 50,000+ attendance, and even the national anthem is something you rarely get as a non-league supporter. And seeing our captain be the first ever captain to win a trophy there was amazing. I have some pictures I'll put on here later.

The FA Cup Final won't be as good:)

[Dark]

Ok I've got some pics.

Great day out and I'll upload some more if you want.

Using my pictures without giving me credit Chris:) I'm the pro photographer in the making.

Apologies for the excessive amount of photos, but it was a great day out!

[Spindryer]

That looks amazing guys, and sounded a great game as well ;) There's me thinking West Ham winning 1-0 was the game of the day and then u guys throw this up :)

Just a few questions...

What was on at half time? Ie a Penalty shoot out etc....~
What was it like for facilities in the ground ?
And last but not least what they hell are those blokes whearing on their heads in the below picture?

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y197/DarkHawkX/PhonePics020.jpg

[Finno]

West Ham may well have been the game of the day, we were on Saturday, I'm just slow with the pictures!

Half Time, nothing happened, just the substitutes warming up as I sat there depressed as hell, telling my mate but not believing it, we'd win 3-2. They showed highlights from the First Half on the big screens, unfortunately for us there weren't many!

There are supposedly loads of toilets around the ground, far more than at the old Wembley (thank god), but I didn't visit any. I heard good things, but Chris I think went to one so could offer a better explanation. Didn't buy any food or drink, as it is the most overpriced thing ever. Everyone has said they had a great view, even in the top tiers, and the seats were very good, with a lot of leg room. However, people have said that the roof was leaking which isn't great. The PA system wasn't working properly until Half Time.

The people in the picture are wearing "Stimmo Wigs" as our manager is bald. As I said earlier in the thread, we were warned by the FA that people wearing them would be stopped by the police and questioned!

Check out the pictures I just added.

As the person on the BBC News said yesterday, it'll probably be a while until there is a better match played there...

[KONSPIRACY]

Sounds like you had a top day out...always nice to win at Wembley! :D

Looks like the same old problems with gettin out the stadium though or have they improved the traffic system in the area?

[Finno]

I think it took a while for the coaches to get away, but to be fair we got to Wembley Park quite quickly, only queuing for about 10 minutes I'd say. Obviously it'll be worse when the stadium is full, but it wasn't too bad for us. Then we walked past loads of packed tube carriages to find ourselves a nice empty one:)

There was no parking anywhere near the stadium, the only way to get there was by tube or by coaches.

[Dark]

Toilets were decent nice and clean although absolutely packed after the game.

Ye sorry about not giving credit but I'm sure not all those pics you posted are yours :p Oh ye and the bad quality pics are probably the ones taken on my phone (the one spindryer posted is one i think)

[Finno]

The bigger, better quality pictures were mine, but I didn't really care! I used a couple of Rob's as well.
