I'm not going. I'm still a bit ill at ease with the decision, but it's getting too late to change my mind now.
It's my old man's birthday and he basically feels the same as Arriba so we're having a big BBQ and loads of beers which should be a good day. I vowed after the absolute sack of shite we served up against Chesterfield that I'd give it a miss and I'm sticking to it.
Plus blowing 3 grand on holiday over the last 2 weeks didn't help.
Don't be surprised if I'm scrounging for a ticket on Friday...

It also means I can watch McIlroy tear Wentworth a new one before the kissball starts...

The Sky TV guide is saying that there's Super Sunday on beforehand, then the show for the PO final starts at 17:30... isn't that the time the game kicks off?..

I am not going because...
a) I live in the NW so to get down by train would involve an overnight stay!
b) In relation to the above I would be traveling down with a train load of Preston fans!
c) We without fail play shit whenever I attend games, don't think I have seen us win for 5 games!

I put it down to a lot of apathy towards modern day football, people prefer to watch their team down the pub these days. Especially their premiership club.

I think you are right to a point. Take the stadium for instance. There is certainly nothing magic about the place and it's lost any that it did have. The atmosphere in there is crap. At the old Wembley you didn't have the best of views but the new stadium has not improved on that at all. At least the old ground had something about it. |

Even if some of that was the three scousers in Harry Enfield and Chums going there on the wrong weekend for the cup final. |

Agree for the main, but the views are better at the new one, if a little far away when in the top tier, best view at the old one was in the corporate ring above the seats, the rest wasn't great anywhere. |

I am going because it is a rare occasion and I feel the need to be there - fair enough if you live far away / no money etc but general air of CBA is most surprising - can`t believe a thread like this was started last time we went to Wembley....

I'm not a fan of the tiered design of the new Wembley. The old one was badly dilapidated when I went there in 1999, and had to be demolished. There was no reason though they couldn't have kept the new wembley along the same lines of the old, and you certainly wouldn't of had the steep views that you have now. |

I don't dislike the tiered set up there.. I've purchased my NFL tickets for block 501 for the simple fact that the view is good. But then, going to an NFL match is different to that of football, I think.
