Spennymoor Town fans gather ahead of Wembley final

Spennymoor fans Sean, Alan and Claire gather on Wembley Way hours before kick-off

After a huge amount of anticipation, Spennymoor Town FC faces Aldershot Town at Wembley for the FA Trophy final.

Spennymoor beat Rochdale AFC 5-4 on penalties to secure their place.

Supporter Claire, who had travelled down to Wembley Way, said she felt "awesome" and even happier to be at the match because of the sunshine.

"If they lift that trophy it would mean the world to me," she said.

Life-long football fan Ian said he was at the venue 12 years ago and was feeling excited.

He predicted Glen Taylor would score on the player's 35th birthday.

"I feel nervous because we are a bit more the underdogs and it depends on the day, we've had good matches and bad ones," he said.

"But I think they'll win 2:1 - Taylor to score on his birthday."

Another fan, Sean, said a win "would be unreal for the town".

Manager Graeme Lee has said his wife's attitude to cancer would inspire him and his team during the game.

The club had asked Spennymoor Town Council to help pay for coaches to take fans down to London. It refused but lifelong fan Gary Finley offered to pay transport costs for more than 65 supporters.

He said: "It would be fantastic to see as many Moors fans as possible to see their heroes play, and hopefully win, at Wembley."
