Well after walking around Wembley hundreds of times and only managing to buy one ticket (we needed two) my dad sold it to a fellow blue at face value and we set off on the tube towards baker st. Got off the tube and walked to 'The Globe' walked in to watch the match. We sat down next to a couple who were City fans.
(This was around 10mins before kick off)
Just enjoying the pre match build up when i am tapped on the shoulder by a young Indian lad asking if i want to buy tickets. Now being 10mins before kick off i don't believe it for a second. So he pulls them out.
4 tickets in a row, the Cat A tickets (£115)? with 'Sponsor Purchase' on the bottom. Me and my dad having had a proper ticket earlier in the day before selling it on knew these were legit!!!
We offered £300 for all 4 telling him there was 5mins till kick off and virtually worthless. He took the money and then i grabbed this couple who were in complete shock and we jumped in a cab. 20mins later and we were at Wembley. My legs were like jelly but i sprinted up the concourse and we all crossing our fingers as we shoved our tickets in the scanner. We were met with the green ping and then we bolted to our seats.
We missed 15mins of the game but my God was it worth it in the end.
As you can see it is a pretty amazing story and hard to believe but that's what happened and the day will stick with me forever!
We need some diversity between clubs!
) but thay pld the best on the day and won the fa cup congrats to them tbh
