To be fair, if we had a house, it might well be full of FC fans.
I think we're putting up a couple of fans in our shoebox though ;0)

| A bit of a slight spin on the topic. My friends Dad who has been going 40+ years has no Holiday arranged no work commitments but will not be going to the final. He has said he can't bear to watch Hull get beat at Wembley again. Everyone has been telling him to go and that this year we could win it at Wembley and how gutting it would be to not see us win at Wembley, but he will not go and said he would just be Happy for us to win their. Can't believe what the club can do to some people.

My dad was the same after Friday's game - "I don't want to go back down there again to see us lose, i cant do it"
Saturday - he has bought 5 tickets and booked his hotel!

Well I'm hoping that lucky 7 will strike.
My losing Wembley finals are 1980,82(draw),83,85,2008 and 2013 so I'm banking on a lucky 7th attempt.
One thing I was saying last night though - at least this year if we lose we should still have something else to play for - the season wont be dead and buried there and then. But if I'm truthful a Wembley win will always be top of the agenda until (and if ever) we actually achieve it.

I'm hoping 3rd time lucky, 08 and 13 are my Wembley defeats just too young for the 85 final. I really want that Wembley win too its already consuming me. I keep going through all different scenarios in my head thinking if we have beaten them twice we can do it again, then thinking Wire wont loose to us 3 times in the same season and they will win when it matters most. So excited for the final but at the same time nervous as hell already!!

Saints and Cats have lost to us 3 times. Wanting to beat us doesn't seem to help teams much. Rovers lost all 3 too.
It all comes down to how we play. If we're on it we win, if we're not we lose. It's on us. Which is scary. We need to make Wembley sound like a home game.

there all my losing finals as well I was 15 in 1980, I didn't realise until you posted there was as many but 7 is my birthday and has always been my lucky number so that's another good omen for me, works buzzing every one who even has just a casual interest in the club are going so we should take a massive following can not wait to wave the team off from the KC stadium onto Wembley all part of the experience for me

I'm the same (although I saw us draw in 82 so maybe you left early?) and I said in 2013 I wasn't going back until after we'd won there but obviously I am

| Where do you reckon the best place to drink is, the last two times, haven't been very successful finding decent pubs, want ones with good atmosphere, but not too busy that to can't get served.
We are parking at Stamore so anywhere around there or on the way to Wembley.
Any ideas?

I'm thinking of parking at Stanmore. Is it in the train station itself that you can park?
I'll be heading to The Torch near the ground. Or the premier Inn was good in 2008

I'm parking on someone's drive using just park.com, thought it better to pre book cost £9 for the day, 2 min walk to station.

As pointed out 82 was a draw. Was there but missed the replay. Also did not get to the 2005 final so have never been to a Hull CC win.
This will be my 7th attempt to see a Wembley win and definitely my last...... 1959,60, 80,82,83,85.

| Probably one of the shorter journey's of Hull fans, 35-40 min drive and a 20 minute walk. Makes up for the journeys up to Hull in a small way.
The sacrifice some fans are making is outstanding, let's hope that their efforts are rewarded.
7th time lucky for me (80-2013) but classify the '81 & '86 finals I attended as a sweet result watching the red & white sh 1 te welling up in dissapoinment.

Saw Rovers lose in '64 and win in '80. Team I have seen win most at Wembley is Wigan(6) followed by Wakefield(3). All between'50 and '85.

| For those thinking of parking at Stanmore it gets quite busy. Drive down to the next station on the line Cannons Park (about a mile) and there is a Car Park with almost no one on it.

That was pretty much me. 4 Wembley losses and one draw has my stomach churning. When I think that my grandfather never saw a Wembley win and my father never saw Wembley win it starts to look like a seriously large achievement, and historic event. I must be getting old.
Also, opted for the alcohol-free driving day to enable us pick up a friend from Sheffield on the way as her husband's already booked the full weekend in London with his brother.
