I'd like to say yes I would go but travelling long distances with my illness is not really easy for me. for now I will stick to getting to as many home games as I can.

True. We’re Chester, things like that don’t happen to us. We’ve got through the 1st round. On penalties. Can’t believe people are talking about Wembley. ... against a virtual reserve side.

In my book this already qualifies as a cup run. Will be digging out the cardboard and tin foil to make my FA Trophy replica. Anyone know any local bands who might be up for doing a cup final record. Diary cleared for May and already in touch with open top bus companies.

In fairness, you were the one who said, "We’re 100% not getting there". I only pointed out that it was indeed possible. Highly unlikely, but possible. Look at North Ferriby a couple of seasons back.

Been to both grounds and I thoroughly enjoyed my day out at both. Went to Wembley for a Championship Play-off final as a neutral, and Millenium Stadium as a neutral for Chelsea v Liverpool League Cup Final, roof was shut which made the atmosphere even better.

We’re 99.9% not getting there & talking about it seriously after scraping through the first round by the skin of our teeth is embarrassing.

To be fair some on here were already talking about it before we even played Fylde!

A great day out. To see your club walk out at Wembley is the stuff of dreams. Don’t let anyone tell you different. The build up, the hype, the media interest. Love it.

I'm not embarrassed. North Ferriby United won it - why can't we?

I am really not that bothered about wemberleeee, it'll be overpriced, 3/4 empty and overrated. Maybe I'm am just weird but it just doesn't do it for me. I would much rather they played internationals around the country and keep semi finals away from the place, it's just a money making machine. You can buy tickets now for £20 and £10 (concessions). That's for the play-off final. The Vase and Trophy will be together on a different date.

Yonks ago I posted on the pros and cons of playing at a 15-20% full Wembley or a 50-70% full PL ground like Villa Park in terms of atmosphere, sense of occasion, cost etc. To be honest, I'm still in two minds which I'd prefer but, of course, that option doesn't exist at the moment so I'm hoping we can go all the way and, to hell with the costs, I'd be there

I went to a play-off final as a neutral at the new Wembley for the L2 play-off final between Rochdale and Stockport about 8 or 9 years ago. Stockport won 3-2 and went up to L1. The crowd was around 35k, but just had 2 pockets of supporters. We were seated at the top level and you couldn't make out who the players were even if you knew them. It was a great experience but difficult to get too excited when they are not teams you support. The project was not a part of a successful period for Stockport and they're still trying to recover.

So true as you have obviously witnessed it. I always said that I would never go to Wembley without Chester. Well, in ‘95 I was working in Cambridge and as I was playing for Marshalls Aerospace footy team, we got free tickets for England v Brazil. How could I say no? Regarding fans jumping on bandwagons, I’d expect thousands to jump on for the day. Clubs like Chester and Wrexham rely on attendances. If 500 became new supporters after it, how can that be bad? As a part time overseas Exile, I would definitely be making the trip via trains, planes and automobiles. Being a member of the 409 club, to name one occasion I think I have had a part to play in supporting old and new Chester FC.
