Wembley Revisited: 30 Years On

[queenslandpie]

I remember driving to the game with my dad my best mate and a mate of my dads who was a ref and got cheap tickets back in the good old days. He knew all the best parking spots as he went to Wembley all the time. I was there in my Stone Roses t-shirt and county hat and scalf and can be seen on the video running down the steps cheering when we score! I have the shirt from the following promotion season in a frame if anyone wants to see it. Happy days indeed!

Scarf, you southern hinterland hippy. Unfortunately I missed all the Wembley appearances as I left in 88.

I was still at school then! Did you move out on your own or with your folks?

On my own mate, my tribe is still all back in the UK. I was working on the pearl boats in Broome and didn't find out about the Brighton win until days later, when I managed to get hold of a newspaper. I think my last Notts match before I left was a dismal 0-3 defeat at Wolves in the Leyland or Sherpa, or whatever it was.

Seen them play about 7 or 8 times since then on my trips back...most of the games were dreadful.

Yes I came with "her indoors". I lived in a van for the first year as we circumnavigated Australia. I spent a bit of time in Broome and Cape Levique is beautiful but it was a trifle hot for me. When you see sense and move to the Sunshine Coast let me know and I'll buy you a pint or 10. My last game was away at Wycombe, we won 1-0 under the Nolan revival which was better then several previous visits there when we got battered every time. I remember a particularly bad defeat there under Gary Brazil and some chap who used to post on here but stopped I think due to mental health issues shouting at Brazil "Resign! Resign!". While I was back we played quite well and won every game I went to! I was hoping to go back for the Wembley double header of playoffs and FA Vase and basically get pissed for a week in London but that's all kyboshed now along with my planned 3 week trip at Christmas also on the rocks. Hopefully I will get back to see a few games next year. In the meantime I will renew my Notts app subscription!
