Compared to Wembley six years ago

We've had a general downturn in support over recent years and a general lack of interest per se. If you went through town and particularly around the market area in week leading up to Wembley, lots of shops and seemingly all market stalls had something red and white on them. Today theres not a single shop or stallholder got anything to do with BFC in or around re Saturday,with the exception of the club sponsor. Maybe the World Cup has something to do with this? As for lack of ticket sales we'll sell what we sell. Im glad Swansea have sold two trillion tickets or whatever theyve sold. Obviously promotion last year,new ground,LDV final have rekindled interest in their club. I think 6,500 crowds that can turn into 20/23,000 prepared to travel a long way and spend loadsamoney at short notice is a noble effort. Anyone disagrees see me in the bodega bar this lunchtime.

 

I don't give too much of a toss how many are going.</p>

I know I am &amp; my daughter and five other 'casual fans'/ fans of another club</p>

Thats 7 of us so everyone else is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.</p>

The match is won on the pitch not in the stands. Just ask Leeds fans about that !!</p>

 

Didn't realise that you

were mates with casuals. Are you going down there to cause trouble or summat? If so, i think its a bit daft you taking your daughter with you!

 

RE: Didn't realise that you

Yer what, haven't you heard of  Kate, all gangster burbury and 'bling'.</p>

I'm starting to feel old. In my day the only things that were casual were slacks and ladies knitwear !!</p>

 

That's what mi grandad said n'all

 

RE: That's what mi grandad said n'all

watched wembley game for first time since it happened on video yesterday. as if keith brown played!

 

I watched it for the first time a couple of months ago

Didn't realise Hignetts first goal was really an own goal!

 

RE: I watched it for the first time a couple of months ago

Kinell Keith Brown! Think he plays for Berwick Rangers now. Seem to remember as well didnt Chris Barker play all season and then not even make the squad for Wembley?

 

I didn't realise we played in Red....

and where I sat and that it was sunny.</p>

Pissed at 9am made that happen though.</p>

Great day, from what I can remember.</p>

 

I remember

sitting in a park at 09:00 on sunday morning with Rich A and downing cans of lager. Standing outside a pub waiting it to open. Taking the tube to Wembley and just getting totally rat arsed. The thing that did impress me and sticks in my mind is Wembley Way. Half blue and half red.... The only thing that did ruin it a little was some stupid Ipswich fans looking for some trouble at the top of the stairs. The only trouble i saw all weekend!

Let's hope you all enjoy satdi as much as that day at Wembley.... only with a differant result!

 

RE: I remember

keith brown isnt at berwick just looked on their website

if there was any justice he wouldnt be a footballer now!

by the way did any one else see brian o'callaghan sat outside o'dwyers before huddersfield play off first leg?

 

RE: I remember

And yet by some strange reason in the first leg play off at Brum he had a brilliant game. Seem to remember when he was on loan from Blackburn they quoted us £1m if we wanted him permanently. ff

 

RE: I remember

i also forgot how good richard naylor was when he came on for johnson-ran us ragged. couldnt do that when he was on loan with us.
and what about geoff thomas coming on and winning penalty for us-legend

 

I went to Wembley and its a day i cherish and will never forget even though we lost,the diffrence this time though is that i expect to win im not just going for a good day out and i will be gutted if we dont regain our position in the championship which is where we belong.
