Well I've just returned from Wembley in North London to see my tream , Bolton Wanderers FC, play in the FA Cup Semi Final against Stoke City at Wembley Stadium.
I cannot put into words how poor my team played today. We were awful. The words "You're Not Fit To Wear The Shirt " spring to mind. we lost 5-0 (YES FIVE), we were so inept and gifted Stoke all their goals.
This picture is taken from my seat in the West Stand ...SOCC...it was the last picture of the day. As the goals started to go in I could not motivate myself to take any more pictures.
28,000 Bolton fans made the long trip to Wembley, so a lot of people left the stadium very dissapointed.
Wembley is meant to be the showpiece stadium of the English Football Association. Well it might be a nice stadium inside, but the surrounding infrastructure of road, rail and tube are a disgrace. I'm never setting foot inside the place again !
Ah hard luck Phil ! So disappointing for you , I was hoping good old Bolton would win..a good northern team who deserved the chance ! Good picture though !
Bad news - I was rooting for Bolton (well Preston North End aren't going to get there) but my Staffordian husband is sitting around like the cat who got the cream :0(
great shot - sorry your team didn't do so well. I've never been inside the stadium but have driven around that part of the A406 many times - it's not the best it has to be said! I guess the roadways and that were all there before there were so many cars in London. There's not a lot of other space to build roads - we need to go Back To The Future and get flying Deloreans!
Oh Dear! Good shot of the stadium though. Ive never been to a football match. Have been to the stadium for gigs in the past but it looks totally different for football...
oh mate, as said efore - gutted for you.
Know something of this dissapointment having lost play-off finals with Leeds at Wembley and Cardiff..
Such a great day out uo to 3pm - then utter, utter crap.
And same here- lots pics upto 3pm....! Ka sera sera..
Having recently read your profile I thought of you yesterday. Sorry about the result :-( and sorry for how you thought of Wembley. On Saturday my 2 Man Utd supporters went into deep mourning too! I secretly smirked :-) Great shot of the huge stadium and sorry it wasn't your day.
So sorry it was such bad news for your team - what a shame! A wonderful photo of the stadiun though - I love the angle and the way it makes me feel like I'm there.
ALL - I hope you don't mind a group reply. I don't wan't to stay on this page too long as the image of 11 Bolton Wanderers players attempting to play a football match still upsets me 24 hours later. The words shambolic and disgrace spring to mind all too easy after the team failed to deliver any kind of cohesion and passion. So thanks to you all for your kind comments :)
This is a gorgeous shot of Wembley Stadium - what a pretty place. I wish the game's outcome had been a little bit more pleasant for the Bolton fans. :)
@meredithwb Thanks Meredith, you've now seen the inside of what is meant to be Englands best stadium !! I think many fans would disagree though , because we have some fantastic football stadiums, but not many as big as this
That's the beautiful game for you! I did a really strange Nike10k run that started at the staduim everyone wore a red nike tshirt and the route was grim but I kind of liked that it lagged it down all the way and there were hundreds of runners doubling back between the metal guide rails all the way along it was surreal. Paula Ratcliffe was coming in after I finished (I am rubbish - she just went in a much later wave of red runners!) I looked out for her but it was impossible as all the runners looked the same and I did not spot her!
BTW - Great pic...
