I visited the
new Wembley for the first time at the weekend. My home town club
North Shields were in the
FA Vase final and therefore it seemed a great excuse for me and little-Hamil to get the early train down to London for the game.
In recent years I've not had much to cheer from a football point of view [ref
1,
2]. You can sometimes question whether it really matters as much to those making the decisions and those playing as it does to the fans. But watching a small, local club,
close to your heart win a cup at the national stadium makes for a pretty special day.
