memories of 1982, cup final day

[silvercue]

I was only a nipper. Mum took me to the replay - she worked at Wembley for the dog racing (or something) - couldnt' get tickets to the first game.

Was gutted and remember it being a long journey home. Remember my red and black flag too :very_sad:

Remember it didnt hurt as much as loosing to Oxford.Remember seeing a load of new Spud scarfs at sch day after, and thinking how much me and the other 2 Rs at sch could of made selling ours if wed won.

I was only 5 and have never forgivem my dad for not taking me, i also cannot bear to watch it on DVD.

I have heard stories of Rangers fans urinating on the spuds below, which i like.

That part is true......

1. I always thought it was the crowd who sang Abide With Me - didn't realise that it also comes out through speakers.
2. My disabled uncle getting a ticket for the replay for me by going to QPR and claiming to be a long-time QPR fan who couldn't come regularly due to his diability. (Actually he was a Millwall fan.)
3. Feeling so sad becuase the first game was awful, and sadder after the replay becuase we played so well.
