FA Trophy Final

[Basil Fawlty]

This Saturday. I'm off to Wembley, to see Newport County VS York City. My first visit to the new Wembley. I can't bloody wait, even if it is the FA Trophy Final.




Might be a long shot but anyone on NSC going?

Me and Superwife are, together with Lord Bracknell. My brother (the technical brain behind oldfootballshirts.com) and sis in law are flying over from Cyprus for the game as we speak. I shall be resplendent in my blue and white striped Newport shirt

I imagine York will have their minds on the playoff final so Newport have got a good chance of an upset here.

Fingers crossed, though not that much of an upset, its' not as though they are in different leagues, they are only 16 places apart.

 

[The Auditor]

I'm going .... with my old boss .. he is a York City fan

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

abit torn here,i like both clubs,but i think i'd just go for newport this time,hopefully york will get promoted

And they played each other twice last month.

3 April ... Newport County 2 York City 1
14 April ... York City 1 Newport County 1

There's no reason to be anything other than quietly confident of a County victory. I shall be wearing the very first shirt ever sold by The Large One in his shop.

On the subject of sisters in law ... my sister in law's brother will also be in attendance.

Definitely not this. Luton are scum and deserve to start every season on -90 points.

Carry on.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I won't be going to this one, as I'm a Brighton fan.

(Wembley is the one place I only want to go to as a Brighton fan. I've turned it down 3 times already with other clubs, Wembley is special to me)

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Just setting off.

On my way to Wembley! It's a good feeling.

York 1-0

edit: 2-0

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Not a great game. I guess Newport deserved to lose - for the chances they missed and the errors that gifted York their goals.

A good day out was had by all, though.

 

[Falkor]

Not sure if i heard this right but someone said in my local they where using Goal line tech this game?

I think they used it in the hampshire senior cup final at st. Mary's today to test it

Edit : it's on Wednesday

Thought Newport played too much long ball to Minshull... were better when they played it though midfield .... also first York goal looked offside ... enjoyed the day and my York City supporting ex boss went home happy

Was a tad disappointing, but a good day out, went to Borough Market for a spot of pre match lunch and beers in the Only Pub, blood lovely it was. Newport fans were a good bunch, bearing in mind 90% of them there rarely if ever go to watch the Exiles in normal games, they had a go at getting behind the team, even had me joining in. Give them another 3 or 4 years and I reckon they'll make it into the league, got a nice set up and a careful chairman, who is also a fan.
