It was originally part of the National Exposition site, like the magnificent Crystal Palace was before it was destroyed by fire, if you look at some of the very old buildings on the approach they have Egyptian styled façades. At the time of the Exposition Where the stadium now stands there was the beginnings of Monsieur Eiffel's successor to the Paris Tower but it ran out of money. As it was a bit of a mess it was decided to be the perfect site for the Olympics on the edge of the London so that was the beginning of Wembley in the Nations Capital. Hood down Anorak off.

I am in non ultra Club Wembley and without any shadow of a doubt I will be wearing trousers and a shoes as will Mrs John Boy and the John Boyettes.

I made sure that I went and played 18 holes of Golf this afternoon for the simple reason that I sleep like the proverbial log after a 4 hour trek through the countryside chasing a stupid (blooming was today) little white ball!

I am 45 years of age and at dinner tonight mentioned that it is 2 sleeps until Wembley. Am I alone in now being as excited as a small child having broken up (its Friday) from school for Christmas.

+1 Hopefully that will also quell the frenzy that the conspiracy theorists on here whip themselves up into too.

Hobgoblin Ale but then Spitfire Bitter is more fitting.

Hooray! I will not have to stop my mate Les slashing his wrists every time he took to the pitch.

Whoever plays I just hope they seize the opportunity with both hands, and win the damn thing, especially as Carlisle are going to be really up for this.

I would telephone the club ticket office and notify them of you predicament to see what they can do to save you hassle. If that fails Wembley will sort you out as at every game there are spare seats for people in your predicament (by all accounts it is something to do with the fit for public use laws) who are not permanently disabled as having someone with a cast on the top deck is a severe 'Elfin safety issue. As for parking? Without a blue disabled badge I should imagine that it will be trousers down bend over and take a £25 shafting in the wallet to park at the stadium.

I am going to be kicking the back of your seat for 90 minutes: just to really P you off!!! Looking forward to this: and also looking forward to not having to drive thanks to the Basingstoke Saints bus at £8 a head........... More money to buy a beer with (just the one at Wembley prices). Most of all I am looking forward to a sea of Red & White, Cardiff was fantastic this should be something very special to behold.

The trouble is everyone including on here has picked up on the "not good enough" comment and just added water to make it expand into a Chinese whispers scenario. The thing to remember is news paper, text messaging and emails lack any emotion and the former (by choice) context. That said NC comes from a world where if you do not cut the mustard you are found out quickly, so what he might say thinking is a gentile gee up in his world is seen in football as a negative........... and the backing of the board is a positive sign in football!!??? When the sport of sacking managers willy-nilly starts again then I will be concerned.

* Official * Wembley Seating Plan Thread
John Boy Saint replied to StuRomseySaint's topic in The Saints
Yahoo!! I am not sat on my own.......... Block 250 Row 5. Nice ticket wallet. -
Seems like its a case of go prepared for those of us in the Club Wembley seats and see how the mood of those around us and the Stadium Stasi is. Bottom line is I have tickets to see Saints at Wembley Stadium, there are many who do not, if I am not allowed to wear my colours I will not be crying into my beer.

You had your pants pulled down by your mate, I tapped up my mate for them and paid £58 plus a single delivery charge of £4.25. I have been told that despite not being able to wear my shirt I will enjoy the experience of the posh seats and the concourse.

'Come on you Reds,' Car rear windscreen flag sightings.
John Boy Saint replied to Colinjb's topic in The Saints
"Come on you Red & White Stripes with Black Shorts" is a bit of a gob full. :cool: -
Matchday Entertainment - Your Views??
John Boy Saint replied to The Fat Controller's topic in The Saints
The fact of the matter is with such a poor PA system the pre match entertainment will always be poor no matter what we have provided, Police Dogs aside. Stuart Dennis is hoarse by the time we kick off thanks to the fact that he has to shout so much to make sure that he is heard, proof of that is whenever he asks an on pitch guest a question you never hear the answer. As for the Pardew pre match interview we are just wasting electricity. -

I saw one in the back of a Blue Accord Tourer in Wolverhampton this afternoon, then again in Leicester............................................................ mine!! ;-) -
Swindon certainly lived up to the hype league table position gave them; Danny Wilson has them playing nicely as a unit. 1st half we were getting the rub of the green with a few balls. Second Half it was like Arsenal playing Bolton or Stoke, Swindon harried us and wanted the ball that just alluded them in the first half so basically shut down our passing (or any) game. Lloyd James looked very match unfit which is a shame as when he was fit previously he was our most consistently effective crosser of the ball. Someone should have told Puncheon after 75 minutes that he was not going to bludgeon his way through and as when he received the ball he was quickly surrounded by 3 players he should have exploited that fact and laid it off quicker. Adam Lallana certainly puts in a shift but I do wish that he would stop the 'Cul-de-Sac Fernandes impersonations and buy a bloody ticket for the raffle its like he fears that he would be fined if takes a shot. A few negative comments about Spiderman on here tonight, I thought that he put in yet another solid performance, it would be interesting to see how many miles he has clocked up in recent games: he must be top or very near if a table was produced. I also think that Hammond is carrying a niggle as Spiderman seemed to be covering for him. Very frustrating, but on the drive home we did say that at least this season we are not looking for the Razor blade, rope, and rickety stool shop as we head out of the City. Beaten by a well organised team who did exactly what their manager wanted them to do.
