iansums Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 Interesting piece here on the final last year: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2011/04/do_you_remember_the_first_time.html#287420 Brings back some great memories from that day. Good luck to Carlisle on Sunday, I hope they win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 What a fantastic read. You have to laugh at the image of Jaidi standing at the front of the bus with a huge video camera, I bet he annoys the hell out of everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 Well found and thanks, that put a big smile back on my face with all the memories, and well done to Paul Fletcher for taking the time to write it up so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronskisaint Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 Thank you...I went with my lad and had one of the best days out I've ever had. Seeing Markus taking photos, Waigo's dancing, PWFG larging the moment, just the whole joyous atmosphere will stay with me for always I suspect!

Junction 9 Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 A good read from a great weekend. I was up at Wembley arena a couple of weeks ago and walked past The Bear pub in the high st. It was absolutley dead, a bit different to when I was last in there after the game last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 Good read - 73K fans - will be interesting to see the attendance this year. Good luck to Carlisle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 What a great day. I remember some on here thinking it was a record number of fans for one team at Wembley - was that true and did any official media outlets acknowledge our support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 Was a great day out. The only time i have seen us win a trophy! Hope Carlisle win as after last year spoke to so many of their fans after the game and they all seemed pretty decent to me. So hope they win it.

jam Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 I feel a bit smug as I always thought the JPT would lead to a good day out. I travelled across on the Jubilee line and can remember how the Carlisle fans were pretty relaxed and in good spirits while the all the Saints I could see seemed over the moon to be going to Wembley. So much for the 'we're too big a club for all this' mentality that Southampton are supposed to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotleySaint Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 As a Carlisle AND Saints fan, I am delighted to be going to Wembley two years running. And this time I don't have to be divided ... although Saints come first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilsburydoughboy Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 I missed the final due to being in hospital after having been rushed in with appendix trouble. Had to listen on the radio with four Saints fans on the ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 OK I know I take the p1ss with my golf stories. BUT one advantage of my working is t hat I got to know the Getty Images guys and how they work. Having read the article it prompted me to go fishing for the Getty Pictures of that day out So gang, finally some ROI for my tales and here are some GREAT pics (59 of them) of our big day out done by the professionals http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?query=z.i.H4sIAAAAAAAEAOy9B2AcSZYlJi9tynt_SvVK1-B0oQiAYBMk2JBAEOzBiM3mkuwdaUcjKasqgcplVmVdZhZAzO2dvPfee--999577733ujudTif33_8_XGZkAWz2zkrayZ4hgKrIHz9-fB8_In7dfLn91etf49f4NX6PX_dskV3kvyb9-pj-_9u_rtbtPFus2mqZnldVO8nKMj0p15Nfc4Q2Nz6m0a-Z1PT2y6zOFs2vrZ_9Wvj_7g5-_c1M-98d__zG9P9f793r6-b0nYHxa3p_87vZufn119TfAe7Xzs6nFi_zB_6PPn_NHe5x0bo33e-_DjUu7Rf2L7z369If9cKCDf_89dF8F3_9evz5xMLo_M2vnYdQ7J8MZcdCOe9AcX_za3UIxf7JUPYslLoDxf1NlMnNS78m_jBTwmTaxW-_oWmLyWDaEk3ylfn01-S_DIzfBJ_sMYB80tg25g8me-6w8X7_tXLX3Pv9125WK_s5_jA9_Vb2xcupe9H9_utUtcc09i_-apL7X5m_8Pzas6ul-f3XNH_8Ovh_s_bGE_z1a-eZw8D_g35f-V_YP37dJoAW_vlrv3v23E0J_WG_yGoPN--P36iZVqv8yXo5Kz0iBp8agD8OOA927uP3X4e4aW2bB3_9OvNa_hAK4S8D4WN88hC_Ebs4AfL_-PVe5Fd50_4_AQAA__8c9xQkSwQAAA..&rid=96780206&rcat=Event&rt=GBR%3a+Southampton+v+Carlisle+United+-+Johnstone%27s+Paint+trophy+Final#1 Oh. and I will kick the krap out of Ian Walton when I see him in December, I never realised he did footie as well as golf, could have got a few proper copies off him - doh!

Al de Man Posted 3 April, 2011 Share Posted 3 April, 2011 Good read - 73K fans - will be interesting to see the attendance this year. Good luck to Carlisle though. 40476. Fair enough, Carlisle have just about the furthest distance to travel to get to Wembley and it's only been 12 months since they were last there, but Brentford? How many tube stops is it?

doubleonothing Posted 3 April, 2011 Share Posted 3 April, 2011 (edited) Glad Carlisle won it. Their fans seemed like a pretty decent bunch last year. Remember travelling up to Wembley on the Northern and Jubilee lines from south west London with some Carlsile fans I bumped into at the ticket barriers. Had some quite good banter with them on the way there. Great day out. Was looking at my pictures from it the other day. Seeing the Saints crest on Wembley as we walked down Wembley way was great. In fact it was a fantastic day out! Was also great to see Markus (RIP) there taking his own pictures.
