Just to remind the Wolves travelling over on Saturday - MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS (ESPECIALLY DRUMS) ARE NOT ALLOWED IN CRAVEN PARK STADIUM. Please save your effort carrying them, you won't get them in

Safe journey to one and all.

Setanta, fella.

Build up starts at 9am. What the hell are they going to be showing at 9am, I have no idea.

I hope it's a throwback to the FA Cup Final when I was a kid, watching the players have breakfast, take a stroll, get on the team bus etc. It felt like such an occasion, easily the biggest in English domestic football, somehow, all that has been lost.

I used to watch it all, soaking up the whole atmosphere.

Totally agree, I used to love the build up to the match. They even used to have a 'Mastermind' between the two sets of fans.

Don't forget the "It's a knockout" between fans too!

Out of interest, Setatnta are actually unencrypting their cup final coverage, so if anyone can be arsed watching from 9am carry on.

Personally , i'll tune in about 1ish, raise a toast when Phil Neville lifts the cup, then quickly tun over to the BBC for the Wire game.

Good luck to the blues and the Wire.
