Quote ="Redscat"I think the halcyon days of "A great day out" have passed lampy. I've been lucky enough to see Wakefield play there in 1960, 1962 and 1979 ( I
would have gone in 1968 but I got married a few weeks later and spare money was scarce).
A day or weekend at Wembley was certainly a big occasion particularly in the early Sixties when a trip to London was the equivalent to going half way around the world these days. The shops in town were all decorated out in red, white and blue. Everyone was talking abut the game in the pubs and the streets. On the morning of the game Westgate and Kirkgate stations were thronging with men, women and kids decked out in the club colours wearing huge rosettes. All singing and shouting. then the icing on the cake was to see the team travelling through the city on the way from Westgate station to the town hall on the back of the Beverly's brewery wagon. You couldn't move for the crowds in Wood Street.
It wasn't quite like that in 1979 as we obviously lost, but there was still that element of a great day out, and, because the occasion is totally alien to us Trinity fans, I'm sure that if we ever happened to get there again Trinity fans would make it "A great day out" again.'"
Were you on holiday in 63 when we beat Wigan?
