Bit pedantic GP, but have it your way...although to ‘out pedant’ you...I think it was Wimbledon FC (not AFC) who appeared in a Cup Final and it was in 1988...well before Wednesday’s exploits. I think of them as a ‘big club’ anyway...possibly because they definitely were during my formative football years and because every time I’ve been to Hillsborough I’ve always felt as if I’ve been to a proper stadium in a genuine football town.
