this may or may not be of interest to people but anyway.. here goes. yesterday i went to wembley to witness Blackpool beat Yeovil 2-0. the stadium is fantastic and everyone concerned deserves a pat on the back. from the tube station at wembley park and the ground and back everything was well organised. there was a good atmosphere there even with 59,313 in a 90,000 capacity staduim. Blackpool look well organised and quite strong although im sure life will be very different in the championship. I have seen Blackpool maybe 20 times ish over 10 years and ive always thought they were league 2 (maccs league) material, but credit where credits due they totally deserve to go up- and with a best club 10 game winning run as well. I also spoke with yeovil fans who, of course, remember their days in the GMVC, it gives me goose pimples to realise what such a wide spread club we are. commiserations to Yeovil and well done to Blackpool.

also, if anyone wishes to view some pictures I took of the day check... www.myspace.com/jonathanmoore07 and see the slide show. I really hope to be watching Alty at wembley in some sort of capacity in the near future

Glad you enjoyed it mate. How long is the walk from Wembley Park to the stadium? I'm going to the England v Brazil game on Friday night and I've got to rush there after work.

[blackpoolalty]

i'd say ten minutes to the turnstile, i got friggin soaked walking from the station :-)

[Red N White Dynamite]

Cheers mate! I can't wait to see the place. I saw it from outside last year when I went to Wembley Arena to see Madness but due to it being dark and me being severely inebriated it was hard to get a proper idea what it was like.

[blackpoolalty]

enjoy it, is it a sell out ? 90,000 ? if so it'll be rocking, due to the layout the sound echo's round.

[Red N White Dynamite]

Yeah it's a 90,000 sell out.

I firmly suspect that I am in the minority here....but I have to say that the attraction of watching England play in a Friendly International (no matter who the opposition are) escapes me completely!

Give me Cheadle Town v Alty in the Cheshire Senior Cup instead any day....

[blackpoolalty]

I agree upon the fact there is a fine line between a competitve league/cup game (Cheadle) at any level and a friendly game (wembley) which the 'occasion' and not the game/teams playing comes into it.

England-Brazil should be great, the first match at the new wembley with (probably) the roof on and playing under the lights. Should be a great atmosphere and a good game.
