I was working abroad in 2001 so had to make do with an internet cafe. Got completely oxf*rd that night and didnt get home until 5am. 1995 is still firmly etched in my memory banks.

My advice? Take Tuesday off work regardless of the outcome. You will need it to comprehend the events of the previous day.

My 2nd after 2001. A very teary 12 year old in the back of a transit heading back down the M4.

Hopefully a different outcome 10 years on, this time we've opted for a minibus.

This will be my third.

Can't remember much about '95 other than walking down Wembley Way, and eating lemon bon bons on the tube ride home!

Cardiff 2001, I was in my teens so I remember it well. I remember the feeling of injustice as the minority of the fans walked out of the stadium happy, while our fantastic support was left feeling deflated. Luckily Brentford put any heartache I had from that final to rest!

2011 will hopefully be one to remember for the right reasons. The last two occasions were great days out, but my love for the club has grown so much since then. Add into the mix that I used to live in Swansea and as such there is no other club I'd rather beat in the final, but equally the fear of loosing to them is too much to comprehend!

P.s I'm really nervous about this one! My dad picked up my match tickets yesterday and text me to say he'd got them, but I still had to take a detour past home last night just to make sure they were really there! :?

I missed the game. I was working as a fixed odds Donkey from the back of a 1946 Citroen flat bed. Went to the Dynamo Plopov game in 92' at the PotatoStadt Arena in Gilkesgrad though...


Hobnob humour at it's best. :lol:

Ian Herring I saw the 1991 play-off final against FC Albanie at the Stade Melodramatique in Cannes.

They were selling Simmonds bitter in champagne flutes at the Boules Bar.

Reading lost 4-1 and I picked up eighty grand in Swiss francs from the fixed-odds donkey sellers round the back by the Citroen dealers.

Anyone else remember this?


:lol:

Yous posts are just superb.

My dearest Ian. Now you have made me feel quite guilty with your magnanimity and good humour. (I hope you know I was only gently chiding you for the possibility of excessive spreadsheet use and not being cruel. Love, your namesake x).

Third for me. The '95 final was my 2nd ever match. Was 6 years old, could hardly see anything of the game though!

I've never been any play off finals, I've always been a person.

Herring, I'm quite easy to rile on here if you push the right buttons, but it takes a hell of a lot to make me hold a grudge, no one as quality as you could piss me off for long.

This will be the 3rd with Reading. Also went to Swindon vs Leicester which ended 4-3 in 1993. So always loads of goals. Also went to the Simod Cup truimph 4-1.

My third and yet again as my name implies, a trip from Taiwan to see the game.
I actually came back just before the Leeds away game in anticipation of an exciting run in only to watch some rather tedious stuff up until the two games against Cardiff which were amazing.....I fly back on Tuesday!
(No I'm not Taiwanese...grew up in Crowthorne!)

C'mon you royals!!!

Love your grammatical subtlety Ian.

No riling from me young man.

We are at peace.
