Bad planning means I'll miss both legs. But think the second leg might be on TV. Will any pubs be showing it though?

Second leg is on Sky. Five oclock kick off. If you dont get to see it i could post an unbiased match report on here for you if you want.

I'll look forward to it.

This one's for Chelsea as we've spent long enough picking on the ManUre fans!

You can never spend too long picking on ManUre/Scum fans!

All the best to Leeds Utd as they head into administration....

I'll look forward to it.

Not much to report from last night. The game was played at 100mph with little quality on view. Morecambe seemed to set their stall out for a draw. A few missed chances for York and only one clear cut chance for Morecambe when Curtis put it over the bar.

If you are desperate for score flashes on Monday PM me your mobile number. Tickets for Wembley will be £20 behind the goals and £25 on the touchlines, but only one of us needs to know that.

Here is a piccie of me from last night.

Morecambe 2 York City 1. Just back after stopping off for a few celebratory lagers on the way home. Another mediocre match this evening but i suppose the result is all that matters at this stage of the season.

The turning point was the penalty when Morecambe's keeper Steve Drench clattered Donaldson to give away the penalty. Could easily have been a red card but as he had dislocated his elbow in the challenge and was being carted off on a stretcher the ref must have taken pity on him. If we had gone down to ten men as well as a goal down it could have been all over.

Not sure what the York keeper was doing so far off his line when Curtis equalised just before half time

Curtis got the winner with a lob soon after half time and that was about the end of the action. Crowd was 5,500.

A turning point indeed.

Cheers for the reports and pics RH. Managed to catch most of the match yesterday on the wireless. Very disappointing.

...little quality on view.

Sounds about right. What was our keeper doing?

Hope you enjoy Wembley. Passed it twice on the train at the weekend. Looks magnificent. Thats about as close as i am getting for now.

Cheers

Looking at travel arrangements already. Train is not an option from the North West on a Sunday. There is no car parking at Wembley so if we go in the car
it would mean parking up at a handy tube or rail station, otherwise it will be on the coach.

Cant say i was too impressed with the way the local police welcomed any coach travellers from York yesterday. They were all held at Forton services on the M6 then brought into Morecambe with a police escort and herded straight into the ground.

Having been on the receiving end of 2 dodgy refereeing descions which cost us the play off match against Hereford last year i know how you feel.

All quiet on the Liverpool front..... Maybe one day, you'll win one of these.
