Wembley Not Guaranteed

I've been hearing and reading a lot about our 'day out' at Wembley. I've been following City for so many years that I know not to take anything for granted. I remember these ties, I was at the home games for all of them and all three Walsall games. Does anybody recall any others?

25/9/1990 League Cup 2nd Round 1st Leg Sunderland 0 Bristol City 1
9/10/1990 2nd Leg Bristol City 1 Sunderland 6

A year later
25/9/1991 League Cup 2nd Round Bristol Rovers 1 Bristol City 3
8/10/1991 2nd Leg Bristol City 2 Bristol Rovers 4

30/1/2002 LDV Vans Area Final 1st Leg Cambridge 0 Bristol City 0
19/2/2002 2nd Leg Bristol City 0 Cambridge 2

and one in our favour (until you get to the replay)
25/5/1988 Div 3 Play Off Final 1st Leg Bristol City 1 Walsall 3
28/5/1988 2nd Leg Walsall 0 Bristol City 2

 

We are a sleeping giant,success would pack AG to the rafters,just needs un corking.

 

Nothing is guaranteed.
I have a suspicion that the Gills may put out a weakened team (as might we)

 

Nothing should be taken for granted at any time and if we want a Wembley trip then everyone has to be focused on the prize.

 

We also lost a semi (L1 ?) playoff to Brentford in the 90's ? Cant remember the away score but I believe we lost the home leg 1-2

 

Gillingham won't beat us by 3 or more. We booked our place at wembley when we beat coventry. Gills are ****

 

I was at all those games.

 

Yep we lost both legs 2-1, another play off nightmare!

 

"I have a suspicion that the Gills may put out a weakened team (as might we)"

AS MIGHT WE! I shouldn't think so.. Wembly is the cost of a new player..and who is weak at the moment in our side? we haven't got that many anyway

 

We should make a pretty penny out of a day in the smoke with ticket sales, and TV rights plus all other associated commercial activity this sort of thing generates
The only slight downside is that it's on a Sunday

 

Hereford away we lost 2-0 and then beat them 3-0 to book are trip to Wembley v Bolton

 

They only need to win by 2 goals. Game would then go to pens.

Tie isn't won yet, if we were 2-0 down, we would still fancy our chances, but being in front does give us a good advantage. An early goal by them would make it a different game, an early one for us would, kill the tie off.

 

I support both sides, definitely off to Wembley regardless of result

But I'd rather be going there to support City

 

support both teams..................................................eh?

 

Gillingham is the family team with City being the local more watched team.

 

I truly cannot see Gills equalling or bettering our result down there. I think Imread somewhere our 3 wins there are more than the Gills themselves had won there in the same time between the 1st and 3rd games, so would be a major major shock we if we f**k this up.
