Met a bloke on site this morning from Manchester he spotted me on the scaffold with my City hat on came over for a chat he's been a City fan since the 1950's knows a lot of the old players and he reckons he can get me three tickets happy days

Anyone got a spare ticket for me? My usual source isn't hopeful.

I'll be there, can't wait. Train down to the smoke on Thurs, and may even stay down for the week if I can get ticket for the league game. Looking forward to this. Hopefully we can fuck up wingers legacy a little more.

Me and my lad will be there, will try and get similar seats to the 2016 Liverpool final as we were at the East end of Wembley for that too.

Can't wait.

Had planned to go if we made it but had to change plans. Quite disappointed about missing out, but not like I’m crying about going to Belize instead.

I expect us to be back again.

Jeezus that makes him at least 80 and he's climbing up scaffolds?!!!

He is the boss of the window company he looks like he's in his late sixties early seventies

If he's born in 1950 he's likely 67 ish. Slip of a lad

A City fan since he was born? In a generation, you'd be locked up for making such an assertion the way things are going PC-wise!

Unfortunately won't get to the final. But will be shouting us on somewhere.

He's lucky. That team of 56 never had to put up with all the rag propaganda - the last ones.

I was 10 years later, born in 1960. My dad was rugby league only really. By the time I was 7 I was fed up with all the other lads banging on about the other lot (this was in Oldham). So, being very awkward, I resolved to support City.

They obliged me by winning the league in 68 and the other stuff, and it seemed a great decision. Finally it does again!

Not long back from there, nice place. Watched City v Soton in the paradise and got barred after Sterling's goal as my celebrations were slightly wild. I only sang Raheem Sterling he's top of the league. Maybe because I did it in the faces of scoucers for about 10 minutes didn't help my cause

Seems like we'll be well represented at Wembley. Shouldn't we try to get a meet organised? Just name a pub/roundabout/curry house!

They are very easy going in the Paradise Bar , usually plenty of blues in there for the games aswell . I fell off one of them wicker chairs when city scored one time I was there lol.
