As you can see, Sundays are my busy day and so I just made it to the coach, by the skin of my teeth! LOL
What a day!
And a very long day at that!
Setting off at 8am ; arriving home at 11.30 pm.
That's over 15 hours ...for only 90 mins of football!
Who'd be mad enough?!!! ;-)
Moi! And Moi's son!
Mr Snippets sensibly stayed at home...
...as the 'yellow army' hit road.
We got there with two hours to spare!
I must admit, that being a lover of things old, this brought a tear to my eyes as I remembered the old Wembley and its towers.
The new Wembley is one monstrous beast!
A larger than life Bobby Moore stands in his rightful and proper place.
One wonders what he would have thought of the new surroundings.
No photos can do it justice..I walked in... and was gobsmacked.
He's smiling now..but would he still be smiling at the end of the match?
And so the scene was set.
The players lined up.
And we sat down to enjoy.
Cambridge played well and they must be quite sick of the sight of Devon teams. They also lost last year, to Exeter City.
But we played well too and it is as I always say...'balls in the net that count.'
We scored two brilliant goals... even Alan Shearer would have been proud to score them!;-)
***
The players received the trophy from Martin O'Neil...the manager of Aston Villa.
We laughed and said that's the only way he would get his hands on a trophy this season!
( And I thought of blogger Kitty!)
And then we laughed again as we joked that Torquay now need a trophy cabinet!
After two years of Blue Square Premier League football, it's back into the football league for Torquay United!
Tears of joy followed.
I would not have missed this day for anything!
It was a day about determination, character, fortitude,unity and passion...all the things which I admire and love!
And the 'ups and downs' of a football supporter of a little club from South Devon , continue!!
