Diss Town and the FA Vase Final, Wembley - 15th May 1994
Nosher's not much in to the whole "Footbollox" thing, but when Diss Town ("The Tangerines") made it to the FA Vase Final at Wembley, it was pretty much an obligation for the whole town to turn out. In fact, so much so that the local news ran a piece on how deserted Diss was on the day of the final - more people turned up at Wembley to support the team than the actual registered population of the whole town. As it was, Nosher scammed a lift with Steve-O (meeting in the car park near the Angel Cafe in Diss), and we met up with Kenny, Sarah, Theresa and co. at Wembley. And it was quite an event - if all football was like that (decent crowd, no red-neck lager-drinking knobwits) then even Nosher might go more often. There are also a few photos here from a trip shortly afterwards with Roger, Pippa, Graham and his girlfriend to see a game of cricket: Northants versus Middlesex in Northampton. Time for a picnic, a few beers and a bit of a chill-out. Most relaxing. By the way, Diss Town beat Taunton Town in extra time, 2-1.
