Before the Game

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Travelled from the IoW. Great time on the train, with can you believe, a load of Arsenal fans. Stopped off at Marylebone, police everywhere as it kicked off big stylee in/outside a pub, Globe(?). If anyone on here was involved, you should be ashamed of yerselves. Swerving the chaos, back on the train and up to Wembley and into the Bear. Good atmosphere, next door in the Moons(?) seemed noisier, so into there. 15 deep at the bar, so back into the Bear. Short walk to the stadium, lots of noise, lots of banter, lots of hope. Dissapointed I didn't see one 'SKD Wanderer T shirt'. Saw lots of signs for 'pie & pint-only £8.30!!! Or alternatively, a sex aid in a roll for £7.20. Saw a guy thrown out for having a crafty fag in the gents; (no pun intended). Into the seating area, I was impressed, teams out, singing, shouting, laughing, jumping. Then something happened which I do not want to think about for a very, very, long time.

I saw a Jay Jay 'so good they named him twice' shirt, I was well impressed with that! Must be 6-7 years old. Shout out to whoever that guy was.

My friend saw a legend tshirt.

I didn't wear mine, I went for wearing the home shirt simply because it was white.

I'm tempted to do a white shirts in the future, its just that they look cheap.

Did anyone else film any footage of anything yesterday? I took a few videos on my phone-most of which turned out to be crap. But this is a good one to capture the atmosphere pre-match inside the stadium. Puts a smile on my face anyway.

BTW, I've no idea who the two random guys are singing in the video they just saw me filming and went for it. :D

I took loadsa phone pics of the outside and inside of the stadium. I remember thinking the entire place was really f*cking spectacular.

I can't bring myself to look at them yet.

And to give you some idea of how long it'll take me to repair enough to look at the pics - I still have not watched highlights of the 2004 Carling Cup final. feck all idea what it looked like on telly.

Just a quick note about after the match. To the complete shower of w4nkers in the coach next to ours, particularly the ape with the number 9 on the back of his team shirt and the guy in his 40's with the white polo shirt on who decided to attack every passing random Stoke fan and had the astonishing bravery to push over a 15 year old kid who was minding his own business, you really are a set of ar5ewipes and cowards. Your own kids were crying because you were off on one and they were scared shiteless. No doubt you'll use that as an excuse for running and hiding when the cops finally turned up, leaving 2 young lads you'd wound up to get locked up.

I'm only gutted I couldn't get my camera out quick enough to film you, cos trust me, it would have been a joy to hand the SD card over to the Met.
