Are there any genuine local Shrimpers that cannot make Wembley.

[DTS]

Wow amazed by the numbers that cannot make it.

My dad!! His dream has always been to watch the blues at Wembley but over the last few years he has battled Cancer 4 times. I was so excited when we got to Wembley I phoned him straight away and said that 65 years of him supporting the blues his dream has now come true and i was going to take him!!!

His response was that he is not well enough to travel and would rather watch it on the box.

Am gutted but is health must come first and I will ensure he gets a shirt,scarf and flag for the big day along with a programme which will be on sale from club shop a week before.

Mum has said that she is doing hot chocolate and hot dogs for him during the game so he feels like he is there

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

A Shrimper who lives in Romania - his parents are out visiting him for a week and he is making his dad fly back to London for the final then back to Romania for the last couple of days then back again to Canvey. If that makes any sense.

My youngest son, who bleeds blue blood, will be attending my eldest sons wedding in New York. He had already booked his flight, accommodation etc before realising the date of the final. At least he attended both Orient games, and had a couple of good nights at those.
And me, their father...... i will be at Wembley!. Yes there is a story, but its personal and my eldest son understands.

Me, Neil and Gav will be having a NYC party for the game. At 7am...

Had already booked a holiday in Malaga between the 4th and 15th of April, but managed to wangle a return flight on the 6th. Taking the luggage to Wembley and then flying straight back to Malaga via Luton on the evening of the 7th. :smile:

Love it! Well done mate

Sadly wifey has been battling a very rare form of cancer and has been receiving both chemo and radiotherapy in order to shrink the tumour leading to an op to remove it. After months of treatment we have been advised her admission date is April 1st which being a bank holiday means I assume the op to be carried out a day or two later.

After much juggling and planning I have decided to give Wembley a miss and just clear the decks and make myself available.

I hope this in no way leads to me being thought of as neither shallow or a loyal supporter. Really hope all that go will have a brilliant day out if any one deserves to its you lot:thumbsup:

As reasons go, I think that is more than acceptable.

Best of luck to your wife, hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.
