Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted September 25, 2013 I was thinking all British teams but Keelan scotched that idea. Unless he had British Citizenship?Probably way wide of the mark.#clutchingatstraws Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted September 25, 2013 I would have thought virtually all finals were all british back thenmore so the earlier you went backps if you get it, please wait until later to let others have a go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings of a Sparrow 1,415 Posted September 25, 2013 Did you slip a little clue in back there?P being a key word? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sussexyellow 55 Posted September 25, 2013 I recall that tickets were allocated by getting a voucher given out at just one home game (WBA) I think. Can remember having to swap turnstile queues as the one I was in had run out of vouchers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted September 25, 2013 remember the vouchers as there was a bigger crowd and ''fears'' that the WBA fans might get them for Villa fansa clue -73 and 85 no62 yes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted September 25, 2013 well spotted SYso maybe if any others have the answer (not you sus, yet) perhaps we can see who is rightANSWERS PLEASE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted September 25, 2013 Only Wembley final between teams from the second division (no top flight team). Subsequently one can say, the only Wembley final between two teams who were both promoted to the top flight that season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted September 25, 2013 *promoted at the end of that season (you prob knew what i meant anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted September 25, 2013 and City''s opponents in the semi final (Man Utd) also went up with those twoand curiously Villa''s semi final opponents Chester City were promoted from the old 4th division that seasonall four promoted !there is also another strange anomaly regarding the games leading up to those semis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
