What a cracking day (well, that's if you're a Burnley fan ).

My first (and hopefully not last) visit to Wembley - what a stadium. Shame about the car parking and facilites outside the stadium, but the stadium itself is a sight to behold.

I took quite a few piccies and videos - I won't put them all on here but here's the last few minutes of the action - right up to the final whistle.

My condolences to any Sheff Utd fans out there - but at the end of the day, there can only be one winner, which thankfully (from my point of view) was Burnley.

It still hasn't sunk in yet - 33 years since we were last in the top flight. Hard to grasp the idea that teams like Liverpool and Man Utd will be coming to Turf Moor .

Bring it on .

Forgot to mention - we had an accident in the coach on the way down, which makes the day even more memorable.
There we were, minding our own business, in the middle lane, when all of a sudden "BANG" ....... and the coach starts swerving from side to side. I thought we'd had a blow-out - but it turned out some plonker in a BMW had just crashed into the back of us.
We had to wait about 45 mins before the police turned up and allowed us to continue on our way - as they wanted to inspect the coach to see if it was safe to drive ......... the poor BMW was a write-off lol .
Anyway we pulled into the next service station so that the driver could patch things up (good ol' masking tape - where would we be without it ??).
No-one was hurt so everything turned out okay.

If you were driving south on the M6, on monday morning, at approx 8am, somewhere near Birmingham (ish) and you saw a coach on the hard shoulder with about 40 people on the grass verge ....... well, now you know why .
