On my way to Wembley for Coventry City v Manchester United for Emirates FA Cup semi final. Can't believe My Road to Wembley is almost over. Two more games. I never thought I'd get this far. It's been absolutely incredible to date. Hoping for another enjoyable day today.
Heading back to Bearsted Football Club v Lordswood Football Club π§‘π€, two clubs I've been keeping a close eye on after making some good friends on my Emirates FA Cup journey on My Road to Wembley. Hope to catch up with some friendly faces! I'll be the one trying to keep a football-obsessed toddler in check!
Saw both of these clubs on My Road to Wembley this season, watching Ramsgate three times. Fantastic people. It seems criminal that one of them won't be champions after the seasons they've had while both also had incredible Emirates FA Cup runs. All the best to both!
Popped out for a walk with the kids. Stumbled on a lovely memory from the beginning of my Emirates FA Cup journey. Bringing them back on Saturday to see two of the sides I met early on for Bearsted Football Club v Lordswood Football Club π§‘π€. Hope to catch up with some friendly faces. My Road to Wembley
I also met @jamrat back at Wembley FC v Bearsted Football Club on this journey. I'll be gutted if he can't get a ticket for himself and his son. Lovely people. If anybody can help out, please do! The Sky Blue Hub (everything & anything CCFC) All Things Sky Blue
And, typically, I forgot one! I also had the pleasure of my first live VAR at Chelsea FC v Aston Villa. Just so many fantastic games on My Road to Wembley in the Emirates FA Cup!
Two magical trips with Maidstone United followed. An incredible victory over Ipswich Town before defeat at Coventry City. My most recent trip to Manchester City v Newcastle United FC brings us up to date. Now just two games remain to complete a magical journey, both at Wembley. What an experience!
I stuck with Ramsgate Football Club as they hosted Woking Football Club and followed them again to AFC Wimbledon. Maidstone United v Barrow AFC was also in the second round ahead of a long trip north for Middlesbrough FC v Aston Villa.
It's been such an incredible journey so far. It began with Wembley FC v Bearsted Football Club, then Lordswood Football Club π§‘π€ v (C)ray Valley PM FC. Next was Flackwell Heath FC v Farnham Town (C) π and Ascot United FC v Lewes FC Men. A trip to Norfolk for Gorleston Football Club v Hemel Hempstead Town FC ahead of AFC Totton π¦ v Ramsgate Football Club.
Quarter finals on my own personal 'Road to Wembley'. Can't believe I'm still going.
Only two more rounds left on My Road to Wembley.
Need Simon Wilson' help on this one I reckon. Where's good to take cover in Manchester while waiting for my bus home? Somewhere warmer than the empty bus terminal! π€£
