My Baggies supporting mate is gutted though. He was meant to be going to Wembley but lost out in the ticket lottery. 16,000 empty seats or something? I don't understand the politics around ticket allocation but that is an absolute farce. 33,000 for each team? Nowhere near enough. Northampton Town took 40,000 to Wembley in '98 and they were fucking awful...
Speaking of which I remember begging my old man to get us a ticket for that play-off final. Like every other kid at my school we didn't give a shit about Cobblers but as soon as they hit Wembley... everyone wanted a piece! All my mates were going and my Dad was like "No way - you don't even support 'em. I don't give a shit if they're local, if you went week in week out THEN I'd by you a ticket for Wembley but no chance son..."
