WemberLeigh Here We Come : Sat Jul 29, 2023 3:44 am  

Ok it’s time to flush Wellens and co, and look forward to our grand day out.
For the Vancouver Leythers, there is myself and Junior VL arriving down in London on the Friday afternoon, and staying in The Fox & Goose Hotel 3 miles from Wembley, until Sunday morning. We are sitting in block 113, row 11, and I have just received two Leopard print bucket hats from Amazon Canada Right now we plan to wear the Centurions shirts that had the fan names as the background on the rear of the shirt. My Dads name is there, with my own and VL Junior’s. My Dad supported Leigh for over 70 years but never saw them play at Wembley (best man at a wedding the same day as 71 !). This will be my way of taking him there this time, along with my own son. He always felt bad for not going but that was for me, not for himself. Despite the tinge of sadness, I will be celebrating the day to the fullest as he would have done
If anyone is heading down on the Friday, or staying the Saturday night, I would love to meet up for a beer if possible. Or if anyone has heard of where any Leythers are gathering on the Friday evening or Saturday pre-game, I’d appreciate that info.
Win or lose this is going to be a bucket (hat) list thing for me. I honestly think we have the team to win this, and I’m literally vibrating with excitement already.
Look forward not back Leythers. We are going to WemberLeigh

Flipping heck, as a Rovers fan, if you win, I'll look at this post and it'll make me feel better.
Obviously I hope your dream doesn't come true, but if it does I'll be made up for you.
Good luck, safe journey.

Thanks Sandro. Less than 24 hours to jumping on the plane. Absolutely buzzing.

Ok Leythers.
When’s everyone going down and has anyone heard of Friday and/or Saturday pre and post game good Leyther locations ?

Have a safe trip VL. Just wish I could have been there. Bring it home boys. I have every confidence in this team to step up when needed. Have a great day everyone. Come on Leythers.

Hope you have a safe journey V.L.
I know a few are going to the Boxpark on Wembley Way, they have three bars and food, check the website.
You can prebook a ticket £11 to make sure you get in.
Hope this helps.

I've no idea about what time the coaches are expected to get down their or when they are going to leave again. At this point I don't rightly care so long as I'm in the ground come 1500 hrs. In the meantime I'll just rewatch Mr Latham talking about the 1971 final on repeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niG91Tjr568
