<span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana">Remember going to the Torch pub just up from the Tube station. Got there at </span><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana">9.30am</span><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana"> so had to buy some tins from the supermarket before the pub opened. Hundreds of us congregated theresinging as the coaches carrying the fans from each club filed past. About two dozen Ipswich fans came to the boozer and they were great, we were singing exchanging banteretc then those w*****s from the Met Police came along and formed a ring around the Ipswich fans and changed the atmosphere completely,familiestook therekids away as they naturally assumed there was going to be 'trouble'. Complete overkill and for me tinted the day slightly. Then walking down Wembley way we laughedas a Reds fanclimbed up a wall and nabbed a coppers video camera as he was filming, the copper looked a bit shell shocked and red faced as he looked down into a sea of 5000 red shirts walking past. Got into Wembley then walked up through the rivers of piss that used to greet you. It was a great day out and was glad to be there.I have come to the opinion now that although it hurts been onthe losing side,its better to be there and lose, than not to be there at all. I think that Barnsley&rsquo;s nameis on the cup this year and I think the rest of thecountry would want to see us win itafterour achievements. Its what dreams are madehave andthe new Wembley is theideal place for that dream. I went to see the </span><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana">Rugby</span><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: Verdana"> there last yearand foryou haven't yet been to the new ground, this place is magic it will blow you away. </span></p>

 

My clearest memory was standing on top of Wembley way and seeing a sea of red on one side and blue on the other. Incredible to look at.

It was also one of the most friendly games I'd ever been to and had a massive soft spot for Ipswich since.
