So our local football club, York City, is at Wembley twice in 2 weeks! This weekend it's the FA Trophy final against Newport, and on 20th May it's the play-off final, against Luton.
We're going to the play-off final, and the kids can't wait - we went 3 years ago when they lost to Stevenage and the atmosphere was fantastic despite being on the losing side. Hopefully we'll win this year, I think we're due some luck - having been the losing side against Oxford too last year. The only problem for me will be that if York are promoted into the Football League then my annual chance to Cambridge United (my team) locally will have gone. So our tickets and train tickets are booked - a great end to the season. Of course the kids still have some football to play too - an all day tournament this Saturday and another in a few weeks. My older son's team (U10s) came runners up in their league - so no doubt we'll be at the award ceremony for that - and he got "Manager's Player of the Year" award too, so a good season all round! sometimes I think that the "close season" is but a myth however!
