there's a good facebook page showing food from different football grounds. Some are worse than us, many are much, much better. I'm not talking full Emirates gentrification food, but just selling really good burgers or whatever. They seem to sell what they have well enough so maybe it's just not necessary but I feel like maybe this is an area where the world is moving on a bit. Again, all depends what the notional "new customer" will want.

I think you're thinking of "The padded seat", I see it as well and there's a lot the club could learn from it.

CornishShot - is Wembley not what modern audiences want/expect from a stadium now?

My opinion is the modern audience wants authenticity and community. With that beautiful mix of chaos and exhilleration. Ask a Hammers fan what they prefer, Olympic Park or Upton Park.

Modern stadiums are just clones of one another, void of all the things that make going to football important. The Rec has personality!

I will say, I'm not totally against a new stadium, but I also love the Rec. And if the East Bank didn't exist, in one way or another, I would struggle to go again

Can anybody tell me, was there an official programme at Wembley. Or was it a team sheet for both finals.

Thanks SS, if it was only a teamsheet, I wouldn't bother buying 3

Programmes were difficult to get with “Club Wembley” selling out before our game kicked off. However they got a few more which were being sold on a strictly “1 per customer” basis at Half Time. I manage to get one but there were only about 5 or so left.

I bought 3 at the end of the game. He said he had loads left so might be worth calling them.

They did. £5. Covered both games.

Sold out from the booth in the section I was in so I went to the main merchandise section and they had none either. So I went to the help point and they called up someone to deliver more and they arrived within a few minutes thankfully. This was about an hour before kick-off.

Pretty good programme - worth the fiver I thought. Jack talking about his team mates and some words from Tommy. Same sort of thing for the other clubs.

Lovely and emotive BBC piece on Spenny manager Graeme Lee and his wife's battle with brain cancer. Keeps it all in perspective....
