Anyone bottling the final?

Going, driving straight down and straight back, people have been warned whop are coming with me. Not giving up them now, can't really blame the players for us losing the rest. Although I doubt we will win, I would hate to be anywhere but Wembley if we did
 
Swore I'd never go again after Burnley, but can't resist it now. One thing's for sure, after sitting in that piggin car park for two hours afterwards being mocked by the Burnley fans, it's train all the way. Que sera sera
 
I'm not a Blades because we win.

Therefore, I'll be there.
 
Said I wOuld never do a play off final again but after last night I really want to go
However looking at the cost and the state of my finances I might not have any choice .im sure it's a dilemma that I'll be twoing and forint over for the next week or so
 
TV for me i think, due to have surgery tomorrow.

That must be some TV, we normally just get a repair man in, but usually check the battery in the remote first :)

Edit: Oops, just read your later post where you mentioned heart surgery, apologies, wasn't making light of such a thing.
 
I couldn't bear to not be there if we did win so I'll be getting my ticket tomorrow.

Exactly what Trig Jnr (TY) and I have said.

At this point, I'd say my expectation level is so low, I'm not sure I'll be too upset if we lose again. I really beleived we were going to win in 1997, 2003 and 2009, this time I don't have that optimism.......
 
I was adamant I wasn't going to Wembley, just like I was determined not to go last night as it was our own fault we were stuck in the play-offs.

Anyway, about two minutes after leaving the ground last night I was on the phone to my non-season ticket holding mate asking if he'd like to be my "plus 1" and join me and my STH mate to the final. We're getting the tickets tomorrow! No willpower, that's my problem!
 
If I'm going I need 3 tickets together so I have no option to wait until general sale on Saturday, will wait and see what's left then.

I rang the ticket office about the same thing and was told that once logged in there's a box where you can log in family/friends customer number and order further tickets, thus I assume giving a block booking
 
Watched us against Palace and Wolves and said I wouldn't go to another Play Off final. Stayed true to my word and watched the Burnley match in the local boozer. However, I've caved for this one as throughout the morning of the Burnley match and most of the match itself I was bricking it that I'd made a mistake in not going and being there should they win.

This time I've convinced people to stay over in London on the 26th so at least we can drown our sorrows after the match and not face the journey back immediately. Or... be in a boozer straight away to celebrate victory!
 
I struggle to get into the mindset of someone who wouldn't go.
I couldn't do it.

I'm not confident in the slightest that we're going to win, infact walking round town before yesterdays game, I felt sick at the thought that we'd beat Stevenage and then lose (again) in the final but no matter how much I lack in confidence, I don't think I could ever not go to the final. The thought of me not going and us actually winning would be unbearable.
 



We've (over) done losing. So witnessing another one wont really change your life. But witnessing a victory........

UTB
 
I committed myself to join a choir visit to France quite some time ago and said all along I would not go to any playoff final. First we had to cancel our flight due to Ryan Air changing the schedule, so we organised a coach. Then, tragically, sometime over this weekend our musical director died and now the coach has fallen through. I was told some members were making their own travel arrangements and some were not going. I'm getting my Wembley tickets in the morning.
 
I'm going. I said I wouldn't, but I'm a Blade, so being fully prepared for crushing disappointment is par for the course.
 
We're going to Paris to take my daughter to Euro Disney and we had the weekend of the 26th pencilled in as the date to go. I then realised it was the play off final but judging by our league position at the time (this was in mid-February) I decided the play off final would not matter to me. We then realised we couldn't go that weekend because it isn't half term so we're going the following weekend :)

Sorry to hear the circumstances, but I'm sure you'll be able to aid the vocal backing at wembley :)
 
I'll be there. I hate it when we lose and love it when we win. If I did not go to this match beacause I'm scared of being too disappointed if we lose, then I'd never watch United again.
 
Had I not already booked hotel and train tickets for a stag do in Newcastle I'd have been going (Despite saying after the Burnley game I wouldn't do Wembley again).

If we lose it's gonna be an awful day, quite a few piggies in the group.
 
I'm gutted I can't be there, got my final uni exams in Leeds on the Friday/Monday either side of the match. I'll be sat watching a dodgy stream on Sky, hopefully missing what may be our only chance of a Wembley win for years to come! Not missed a big match in 12 years, absolutely gutted. We need all the support we can get! UTB!
 
Said never again after Burnley and meant it.

But this could be the only time I see United win at Wembley or in a big one off match in my life time.

I've put in enough shit for this club over the last 35 years to deserve a win at Wembley and I'm buggered if I'm going to miss it.

I said same Tuns and I'm not changing my mind. It wasn't just the defeat at Wembley and the awful journey home, its the place itself as well. Over hyped, over rated, and a national embarrassment IMHO
 
Can't afford it, can't really spare the time as i'm doing a post graduate part time and got 2 assignments in over the next couple of weeks plus after the disappointment of the last one I swore i'd never bother again.

So 0800 am coach down to London with a carrier bag full of tins a week on Saturday it is then.

Carry on regardless

Completely agree. I hate Wembley, I hate watching United in big games, I hate the way football has changed, I hate the greed of it all.

But I just can't help myself. Feel like an abused dog limping back to its evil owner for another kicking.

I respect the Blades not going but I feel it's one of those days every Blade has to be there if they can.

Being a Blade is a special affliction and we should be together at Wembley to yet again show our passion and then suffer together. We should be quite good at it by now.
 
I was sure we would get beaten by Stevenage and I was gladly very wrong. So since my negativity resulted in a victory and a trip to Wembley I will remain negative (I don't wish to upset ziggazagga now). I will be taking my two sons as they have not seen the Blades at wembley and it will be a treat for my older lad who will be in his wheelchair two days before another major op to sort out his bilateral talepese.
I know the form now, srtuggle to get down there but get down very early, bite nails throughout the long gap between arrival at North London and getting in the Stadium, get caught up in the atmosphere of the fans before kickoff and start to believe, but having turned up spent loads of money I can't afford, we don't turn up, leave at the final whistle gaining the advantage of getting to the transport before the opposition, recriminate for the journey home as to why they didn't turn up, commence thinking about which players we are now going to lose and how we will play lower league teams (used to be Champ teams now its Shrewsbury our perenial bogey team) Not sure what happens if we win. It would be great to find out. One day maybe.
