Fez of Mahrez Posted 12 July 2014 Posted 12 July 2014 I'm on a train approaching London Euston. The sun's out, the sky's blue, it's warm outside. The train has just shot through Harrow and Wealdstone station. This time, as opposed to pretty much all of the other times in the past ten years, I didn't have that frustrating feeling that I didn't know when I'd next see Leicester City play at nearby Wembley. Matters less at the moment because I've equated Wembley with play-off finals rather than cup finals for the past decade or so, and we have no need for a play-off final next season. A cup final would be nice though. In the meantime, it's just pleasant to equate Leicester City with success and contentment. Enjoying that while it lasts.
Fox92 Posted 12 July 2014 Posted 12 July 2014 FA Cup winners next year. You heard it here first lads. The amount of teams that have played there, and we haven't. Still a bit disappointed. Still think the semis of the FA Cup shouldn't be played there, either.
LCFC FOX Posted 12 July 2014 Posted 12 July 2014 You have an expensive day out at wembley it should just be for the final, not winning in a semi final and thinking we have to do this all again
Nalis Posted 12 July 2014 Posted 12 July 2014 Possibly within the next 2 years. Probably within the next 5 years.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 12 July 2014 Posted 12 July 2014 Wembley is just about eighteen minutes on the train from High Wycombe, and as I pass it, I always remember the 61,63 69, F.A. Cup Finals, even though the current stadium is new. Memories that never fade, albeit we never won any.
separator Posted 12 July 2014 Posted 12 July 2014 Willesden Green tube station, just a few stops from Wembley, used to have a couple of programmes or posters (can't remember which) of Leicester at Wembley in the FA cup finals from the 60's displayed in the ticket hall. Think it was some sort of Wembley historical society display, Been a few years since I worked at that station so no idea if there still on display.
Dan Posted 14 July 2014 Posted 14 July 2014 It truly is criminal that we haven't played there yet. No side has come closer yet not actually done it. Bit of a pattern forming here...
Nalis Posted 14 July 2014 Posted 14 July 2014 Can anyone locate a list of teams who have played there so far? Could we be the highest ranked team who haven't played there? Cant remember Villa, Newcastle or Southampton playing at the new Wembley but I'm willing to be proved wrong!!

Cant remember Villa, Newcastle or Southampton playing at the new Wembley but I'm willing to be proved wrong!! Villa did against United in a FA cup semi?

Cant remember Villa, Newcastle or Southampton playing at the new Wembley but I'm willing to be proved wrong!! Aston Villa have played their a couple of times. They lost the league cup final against Man United 2-1, when Vidic should have been sent off. Then they lost to Chelsea in the Fa Cup semi final.
Corky Posted 14 July 2014 Posted 14 July 2014 Can anyone locate a list of teams who have played there so far? Could we be the highest ranked team who haven't played there? Cant remember Villa, Newcastle or Southampton playing at the new Wembley but I'm willing to be proved wrong!! Newcastle haven't, Southampton played there in the JPT final

Cant remember Villa, Newcastle or Southampton playing at the new Wembley but I'm willing to be proved wrong!! When did it open? 2007? So that's 7 years of play off finals and domestic cup finals. Can't be bothered to look through every one of those finals, so I've put together a list off the top of my head... (will be missing loads if anyone wants to add more...) Arsenal Aston Villa Barnsley Blackpool Birmingham City Brentford Bristol City Burnley Cambridge Cardiff Chelsea Carlisle Crystal Palace Crewe Derby Doncaster Everton Fleetwood Grimsby Huddersfield Hull Liverpool Leeds Luton Town Millwall Manchester United Manchester City Peterborough United QPR Rotherham Scunthorpe United Sheffield Utd Southampton Sunderland Stevenage Swindon Swansea Torquay Tottenham Watford West Brom (unsure about that one, though they did lose to Derby or was that in Cardiff?) West Ham Wigan Yeovil Suppose the obvious choices of never to play there include ourselves, Norwich, Blackburn and Newcastle.
Soar Fox Posted 14 July 2014 Posted 14 July 2014 WBA lost to Derby at Wembley in 2007 I think. Can add Stoke & Bolton to that list, Stoke battered Bolton in the FA cup semi final, then Stoke lost to Man City in the final.
Banks Posted 14 July 2014 Posted 14 July 2014 Us and Newcastle must be the biggest clubs to not have played there yet... Have Wolves?
NeilLCFC Posted 14 July 2014 Posted 14 July 2014 Fez were you attending the Eminem concert? That Hilton, right nx to wemberly is spot on The Hilton is bang on point. Nice little complex they've built there with good choice of restaurants as well
