    Whole family going today - really looking forward to it. Want the Fleet to win, but have always had a soft spot for Torquay. Ever since a few of us went to Barnet and sat with Helen Chaimberlain to watch Garry Nelson in action for the Gulls.

    Well done, not only a lifetime ambition for players to play at Wembley, and fans to see their team play there - but they won a trophy!

    Does that mean Webbed Feet have had a more successful season than Charlton Athletic........?

    ;o)

    Cracking day - great to see 29000 people give Helen Chamberlain so much grief - She briefly appeared on the screens to a chorus of boo's.

    Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

    Me too, cracking day out. Spotted John Snow (the newsreader) at half time. Didn't know he was a fleet fan.

    Same here, good day out all round. I knew it would be 'our' day when that Bristol City goal went in just before we went to our seats!!

    Torquay were the more polished side and a very strong performance from Fleet to keep them at bay. Super result, well done to all connected with the club. And watching Chamberlain's face when that goal went in worth the ticket price alone - that little Sky/Chamberlain love-in made me quite sick, well done to Fleet for bursting their little bubble!!!

    As for Wembley, the stench of corporate influence is everywhere at Wembley and at times you feel quite segregated but it wouldn't be what it is without the corporate money, what a stadium it is. Hugely impressive and something for the country to be very proud of - all that's missing is a lack of history, here's hoping that's quickly remedied!!!

    On the back of the day out at Wembley, i received a letter from Fleet asking if i would be interested in purchasing a season ticket.

    Of course the answer is no, however they are offering 5 and 11 match mini season tickets. £42 for the 5 one and £92 for the 11 one if purchased before 10th june. £50 and £110 after that date.

    Good bit of marketing there, in my opinion.

    Their marketing is excellent.

    Took my boys to a half term football camp couple of months back

    There was a slight balls-up with 2 of the coaches not appearing, didnt matter to me as the kids loved it.

    Anyway week later, got an apologetic letter and 2 free tickets to the next home match.

    Quality.
