Here now & I think something between 100 & 150 people in front of me.

Wish you all the best; I'm sure I read somewhere they thought tickets would now last the day/criteria, but I know I'd be uber anxious in your position still.

I can't help but think as this is so much rarer for us than arsenal, the shear will of our fans, combined with if we keep players fit, our hitting remarkable form as 'underdogs', what a strong position we are in. It's our year...

[Eurochamps82]

Definitely so! Sun shining at VP as it will be at the end of May!

Still hoping to get that elusive client ref no.....is there's a claret and blue God up there?

[amfy]

A daft question probably - but have you booked all the games to the end of the season?

[Eurochamps82]

Yeah. I'm sorted but this one's for my Son.

[amfy]

I meant for him?

[Eurochamps82]

No, he's no chance with his history this year due to working in London, of all places!

Just reading some of the above about the time and effort that each person has taken to get a Final ticket are truly amazing

I think that they ought to be printed off and hung in the team changing room at Wembley and they can then be shown to the players what this Final means to us supporters (and Tim can tell them not to let us down!)

All I can say I hope that no one is dissapointed and best of luck

Lets hope that all the effort and waiting are worth it at about 7.30pm on May 30th! when Fabian lifts the cup.

Well said Sid - TO opened 8

Had a dream it was final day. Put the match on but felt too sick to watch so turned out off. I checked score at HT and we were 1 up. Checked at full time but there was still 20 mins added time to go. Lucky I never shit the bed. I remember watching it but I bet it didn't really resemble football. I'd take that for the final if it stays 1-0.

My best mate just got one from the ground. By all accounts there going to go very soon. 400 ish in queue.

After a mini panic when it turned out Mike had 2 different booking refs & didn't seem to have enough games, this went unbelievably well! We got all our tix together in the same block as Jane & I got on day one of sales! I am actually shaking! Never expected such a great result in a million years - feels so worth the effort now!

Got mine yesterday, three and a half hours went by pretty quick, thanks to the chatting and banter in the queue...just like the old days!
Actually really enjoyed it, and topped off by being interviewed by the Birmingham Mail reporter...it's in today's Mail!
The look of joy on people's faces as they left with thier ticket invoice was a picture.
Good luck to everyone today....
If anyone has a spare client reference can I also put my hat in the ring...
Got to go on my own as my son only has four, but like so many, we only gave up our season ticket last season in protest at Lambert's uselesness.
Go get those tickets H&Vers...

Just got a ticket.  So happy!  Good luck to all those queuing today and thanks also to those who have posted advice and information.  I told myself if I outran the 154 bus on the morning run we would win. Cruised home with 50 yards to spare; it's our year!:)
