All covered Theo, emailed Robyn Deegan at the start of the week and as I suspected because my flag is under 250cm it's ok, besides that it has a fire certificate.
Expect to see it hanging up under the big screen somewhere.

Mr and Mrs Hoyle have just set off for Wembley. Going on their pushbikes, which says it all about modern rail prices when even somebody that rich has to go on his bike rather than the train. Whistle

Anyway, Harry Gration was there if you want to see the grand depart on Look North tonight.

So that's 3 finals and 3 final defeats. Let's make it 4 out of 4.  Smile

Their finals have all been goal fests as well, whereas ours tend to be 120 minutes of drabness, settled by a penalty shoot out. We haven't even scored a goal in a final since Chris Billy's goal in 1995, but we won't let that worry us. Whistle

With our goalscoring record....I don't see it being a goal fest.
My only big worry is with our defence. We seem to always make a mistake....and very rarely keep a clean sheet.
If we can keep it tight at the back, there is no reason why we can't do this.

I'm not going to the game....couldn't really justify the expense of flights/hotel/ticket/trains/beer when I'm trying to save for a holiday of a lifetime for me and my 18 year old daughter.
Instead I've booked out an area in a pub in Glasgow city centre with at least 16 people going...all supporting Town. Most of these are Rangers or Celtic fans normally. It'll be a nervy day!!!!!

My nerve levels are currently 8.5/10 and its 3 days to go. The more I think about the implications and consequences of what would happen if we win, a different part of me is visualising the hell that we'll go through if we lose. Madness. Don't know how DW is keeping the players calm.
