Got up this morning, watched Gus speaking on BBC East whist we were drinking that first mug of tea, and wham, it hit me for real for the first time, we're at Wembley this Sunday Sounds just a bit special when you say it, regardless of where you are.

i just want everyone to remember with Sunday that the victory is just being there. a year ago we didn't know if we'd have a club to support. we do. being at Wembley is a bonus.
so the pressure is all on them, so let's smash these two bob northern mugs

BBC East TV. It was shown on the half hour several times this morning.

I hope my 8 year old lad agrees.

We went up to Wembley for the first time last year to see Great Wakering Rovers, and as we were on the coach he was saying, this is the best day ever!

When they lost, on the way back... "This is the worst day ever" fickle much

Keep telling myself this, but can't say I won't be gutted if we don't win. Now we're here, why the **** not eh?

Have gone into every game knowing we’re underdogs and just being glad to be in the playoffs after where we were at Christmas, and this is no different.

I’ll be gutted if we lose but not heartbroken, Oldham are a proper club and due some good times, hopefully just not quite yet.
