Happy days!! I lived in South Norwood back in the day and our wife’s or girlfriends back then brought us sleeping bags and food over to queue over night, not that we got much sleep🤣

I think I queued for 17 hours. 7 pm till 1 pm next day. Worth every minute though for THAT semi against the bin dippers 😀
For the final it was how many do you want though.
 
I was working for a glass company in Bristol, swapped my easy local route for the dreaded London one just so I could go to the box office.
Parked my truck on yellow lines outside the ground, luckily didn't have to queue long.
What an amazing day...Brucey, Brucey what's the score??

Not sure about that mate, remember we only had 14,000, as apposed to United’s 26,000

it was the final replay tickets we queued over night, we came straight back from the first game and started queueing, hence why the women in our lives brought us over bed stuff and food. My mrs wouldn’t do that now, she’d just say get on with it you silly Sod🤣

Yes monkey it was the final I do apologise.
But for the replay and for me I remember queuing but when I got to the window and asked how many I could have I was asked how many do I want. With the lads around me I turned and said empty your wallets and I think I got about 12 between us. Even got one for my mrs to go. It was a midweek replay as well and only 4 days past the final and unloading the tickets was all they needed to do. Then we wore the wasp kit and got buggered 😳

It’s a shame we blew it, because the replay was much better atmosphere wise, obviously because we had over double the support there
 
I know it might be a bit early , but does anyone know who the Ref is for the semifinal , I f***ing hope its not Anthony Taylor .
