Oi, I was with my bride and daughter in Covent Garden on the day before the match and after the match. They loved it locked in the Nags Head. Never stopped laughing.

Think I'll just be down on the day. Think Covent Gardens will be a massive let down, too many trying to recreate the night before the league cup final (especially those who weren't there) and it'll all feel very forced when it's just the night before a checkatrade final. Hope everyone there enjoys it like

Got to agree. I reckon the Met will be more prepared too. Things are never as good second time around.

Could be forced, don’t think anyone expected to be quite like it was last time

We hired a tuck tuck and were just getting driven round the area drinking cans and singing, was so good

Aye that's the thing. For those of us that were there Covent Garden was one of those memories you'll take to the grave. Hell, I remember being told everywhere had sold out of alcohol, ended up at a (I think) Tesco, ages away and even it had almost nothing left. The singing all night, the atmosphere, it was amazing. But that was the night before a (fairly) major cup final. If we won against that city side it would have been similar to 73, it would have got us into Europe which most have never experienced. It was a one off, you can't just turn up there for a checkatrade trophy final, get pissed and expect it to be the same. It won't be. Like I say, hope everyone there has a mint time, it'll be better than a night in the house I'm sure, but it seems forced and it won't be like the fairly spontaneous madness in 2014
