Both finalists got vans, at one time we had a C reg and an F reg mini bus.

I once wrote to the club to ask if i could lend one to take family to a Christening up North, actually I'm still waiting of an answer on that. Bet Phil Neil never even asked.

 

When we won the Sherpa, weren't we presented with the keys on the pitch by Jimmy Greaves, or did I dream it??

Oh i don't remember that bit, I'm not really a van expert but we deffo had 2 .

Wide bodied twin wheel version possible 400 series (i'm not an expert) however, this version was the better looking and was in production in one guise or another for about 25 years. Drivers seat was hardly adjustable at all and very uncomfortable to drive , Army bomb disposal teams had some of these with V8 petrol engines in the early 90s they would have been very rare and probably none still exist, so got me thinking, some geek will know what ever happened to our Freight Rover vans, and will even be know the reg Nos and can maybe trace their history???

Seems it was taxed until 2003, so someone got their mileage out of it!

Bet nobody can list the names this cup has had since then

Sure Blackpool won it when it was called LDV Vans cup

Auto Windscreens Shield for quite a while. When it was the LDV Vans Trophy the top five from the Conference gained entry which was far better than the U21s farce. Leigh RMI 3 Wrexham 4 (AET) was one hell of a game.

Was going to say Milk Cup, but I think that's the League Cup now.

LC was Rumbelows for a bit wasn't it?

Then there was the Simod Cup, which wasn't either of them!

It was called the Associate Members cup in its first year.

An Internet pound to anyone who remembers our 1st game in the competition.

Its Sunday name was the Full Members Cup? So a cup for just the top two divisions, as if that was in any way required.

Yeah you're probably right

City's appearance in the Full Members Cup final was the day after a Manchester derby at Old Trafford.They mostly avoided United that day but Chelsea gave them a torrid time round Wembley the day after.Quite the weekend for Man City

If I remember right Chelsea v City finished 5-4. City were 5-1 down until very late and nearly pulled off the comeback.
