Saint_clark Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 The Morse Crew will be mostly drinking in the Baker Street area before decamping to the Prince of Wales next to Kilburn Park tube. Sounds like Baker Street is the place to go then, just had a look and can see loads of pubs around that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Durman Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 I was 11 years old when I went with my father to the 1978/1979 League Cup Final. This time I will be with my 11 year old son at the 2016/2017 League Cup Final. Win or lose this will mean so much to us. Just to be in that number!

James Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 As a kid born in '88, I've only ever known Saints to be relatively rubbish up until very recently. All the others at school supported the likes of Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool but I never went through that weird stage as a kid (some of which are making up our group of 10 or so lads going to the final, they saw sense in early teens!) I've been Saints through and through though since I was old enough to walk and had a ST since I was 5. Block Q, Row 4 seat 197 at the Dell. Happy times. I can remember crying my eyes out whenever Saints lost, and it made for a pretty miserable childhood watching them, bar MLT. I went to Cardiff in 03 but at 15 I couldn't really do the day as I'd have liked. Having done pretty much every game home and away with the same 6 or 7 lads since L1, this game means everything to us. We are all now at the perfect age to appreciate what this means, and to know where we've been over the last 10 years to get there. Yes it's only a League Cup final, but the fact it means this much is exactly why I pity any glory hunting, armchair sitting big 4 club 'fan' who cheer on another premier league win through their TV every year. It'll be a proud day for the club, our brilliant city and 31,000 other Saints, and I can't wait to experience it with the same fellas who I go with every week. Up the Saints. In exactly the same situation, almost exactly. Well put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5string Posted 13 February, 2017 Share Posted 13 February, 2017 I've never had the chance to watch Saints much (except for '85-'86 season, went a few times). Went to ZDS final at Wembley in '92. Gemmill broke my heart, the barsteward. Was still a great day out. BUT... ... aged 5, I was one of the multitude by the Civic Centre welcoming the '76 heroes back to the city. Dad said I was 'too young' to go to the final, yet we were part of that chaotic throng! Still remember it. Fantastic! I've definitely got a buzz for this final - even though I can't be there.

CWD Posted 14 February, 2017 Share Posted 14 February, 2017 I'm truly devastated that I won't be able to make it. I may not have a season ticket, I may not be an official member, I don't go to many away games but I've followed this club through thick and thin. Many a Tuesday night back in the L1 days I'd forego a night out at the Uni bar to be able to sit alone in my room listening to a dodgy SaintsPlayer, cheering as we beat the likes of Yeovil and Dagenham, or cursing losses to Rochdale. Now I work most weekends so I don't get to as many games as I'd like to, but I'll still be following the game as best I can, rushing out as early as possible into the nearest pub I can find (think I'll be in Colchester of all places). I may end up elated and head into London to join you all for a night out. I may be crushed and head home in silence. Either way I'll be proud from start to finish of being a Saints fan. Sing it proud chaps. COYR (/W) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Mulgrew Posted 14 February, 2017 Share Posted 14 February, 2017 If he keeps up his goal-scoring progression, Barry will score three in his third game for us. MU will have to score four to win. Sadly, that could easily happen. But with our extra desire to win something, anything, versus United's comparative lack of real interest in the EFL Cup Final, it definitely WILL NOT.

forever a red and white Posted 15 February, 2017 Share Posted 15 February, 2017 Changed my mind and decided to fly back for it! Absolutely buzzing for it but sat up in the Gods. I would be great it we could get everyone standing in the top tier and make some proper noise for the whole 90. It would crap to look down at all the noise from coming behind the goal exclusively. It's a cup final, we should be going a bit mental! It happens so rarely! A few of us tried getting songs going Inter away with little success and getting looks for actually wanting to sing. Block 530 etc near the away fans should be able to generate some decent noise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Wembley is maybe 20 minutes from my house on a good day on the North Circular, Cup Final day obviously isn't a good day. In the days when I was lucky enough to get Cup Final tickets, I used to drive to Kingsbury, one stop north of Wembley Park on the Jubilee Line. There is a pay and display behind the shops on the Main Street, maybe 50 yds from the tube station. If you are prepared to walk a bit you'll probably get free parking in the residential streets.

Nordic Saint Posted 15 February, 2017 Share Posted 15 February, 2017 Forster never looking like saving one is a bigger issue. It will be interesting to see if all penalty takers and even forwards with a clear shot at our goal all aim for the bottom corners against Forster in future. This may ultimately work to Forster's advantage as it will make them more predictable (if he can get down to them in time). I still think Forster is one of the better goalkeepers we've had over the years. His clean sheet record is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
