Bob Brown mentioned on KTFC Chat the other day that when the Poppies reached the Trophy final in 1979 we started our campaign with a home tie against long time rivals Nuneaton. Just like this season.
Of course Bob would know this. This is the sort of fact you would expect to be at the fingertips of someone who has published honest-to-goodness BOOKS about the Poppies. Not simply tapped a few poorly spelled insults onto an online blog. Actual BOOKS!
But what Bob with his highfalutin book-smarts didn't notice, and this little old blog did, is that there's an even better connection, which means we are certain to make a return to Wembley this season.
Why? You are entirely at liberty to ask.
Think about it. We reached the final in 1979 and 2000.
You don't have to pretend to understand "Only Conect" while secretly just gawping at Victoria Coren-Mitchell to figure out the next year in sequence after 1979 and 2000 is 2021. And with this season (hopefully) getting as far as 2021, surely this is all the proof needed that we are due our "regular" every 21-year visit to the home of English football?
WEMBERLEE! WEMBERLEE!
