He has said he can't bear to watch Hull get beat at Wembley again. Everyone has been telling him to go and that this year we could win it at Wembley and how gutting it would be to not see us win at Wembley, but he will not go and said he would just be Happy for us to win their. Can't believe what the club can do to some people.
Well I'm hoping that lucky 7 will strike.
My losing Wembley finals are 1980,82(draw),83,85,2008 and 2013 so I'm banking on a lucky 7th attempt.
One thing I was saying last night though - at least this year if we lose we should still have something else to play for - the season wont be dead and buried there and then. But if I'm truthful a Wembley win will always be top of the agenda until (and if ever) we actually achieve it.

I'm hoping 3rd time lucky, 08 and 13 are my Wembley defeats just too young for the 85 final. I really want that Wembley win too its already consuming me. I keep going through all different scenarios in my head thinking if we have beaten them twice we can do it again, then thinking Wire wont loose to us 3 times in the same season and they will win when it matters most. So excited for the final but at the same time nervous as hell already!!

Saints and Cats have lost to us 3 times. Wanting to beat us doesn't seem to help teams much. Rovers lost all 3 too.
It all comes down to how we play. If we're on it we win, if we're not we lose. It's on us. Which is scary. We need to make Wembley sound like a home game.

there all my losing finals as well I was 15 in 1980, I didn't realise until you posted there was as many but 7 is my birthday and has always been my lucky number so that's another good omen for me, works buzzing every one who even has just a casual interest in the club are going so we should take a massive following can not wait to wave the team off from the KC stadium onto Wembley all part of the experience for me

.
I'm the same (although I saw us draw in 82 so maybe you left early?) and I said in 2013 I wasn't going back until after we'd won there but obviously I am

Where do you reckon the best place to drink is, the last two times, haven't been very successful finding decent pubs, want ones with good atmosphere, but not too busy that to can't get served.
We are parking at Stamore so anywhere around there or on the way to Wembley.

Any ideas?
I'm thinking of parking at Stanmore. Is it in the train station itself that you can park? I'll be heading to The Torch near the ground. Or the premier Inn was good in 2008

I'm parking on someone's drive using just park.com, thought it better to pre book cost £9 for the day, 2 min walk to station.
