Title: 1969, were you there? Post by: juddie on Monday, March 2, 2009, 17:23:22 I need to speak to some fans who went to the game, or watched/listened to it at home fora piece in this Saturday's matchday programme. Please PM me if you'd like to get involved...
Title: Re: 1969, were you there? Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, March 2, 2009, 17:25:33 my dad could tell you an interesting story about how he went in Wembley con club before the game?
hes told me it about a million times ::) Title: Re: 1969, were you there? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 2, 2009, 17:39:50 I was there....long time ago now though. Strangely I found myself living in N London roughly 5 years later, and used to pass Wembley often...even then 69 seemed a long time ago. Whereas living in London seems like a recent event in my life...weird.

What about your old man JFW, would he be up for it? (Not like that, of course, that would be wrong...) Title: Re: 1969, were you there? Post by: Christy on Monday, March 2, 2009, 22:37:24 My mum went to most of the cup run, including some epic away games......but missed the final as she was nine months pregnant.
I arrived a couple of days later into a celebrating and partying, black and white world, which explains my permanently joyous nature. And they didn't call me Don, or Roger!

You know the thing you did about the Leciester Wembley game in the programme and how my dads friend Dave sold raffle tickets up one side of the coach for 50p and the other side for £1? Dave was SO proud of that!! he has cut it out and kept it tee hee! Title: Re: 1969, were you there?
