How we all feeling.
Waking up to a history making day.

Nerves have well and truely kicked in.
Feeling sick and it's only 9 am, still 11 hours to go.
Don't know how am gonna get through the the day.

Just got to breath it all in and try and enjoy the build up.

Hope the boys arnt feeling like I am just now, I'm like a quivering wreck.
Can't wait to see the ground packed, and what an atmosphere it's gonna be.
Bring it on.

Butterflies the size of Albatross
Nevous Excited and trying to keep busy until I leave work and start the countdown
The buzz of the walk down the lane
Anticipation as you finish your drink and hear that familiar clunk of the turnstiles
Walking up those weathered concrete steps
The sight of the lush green manicured "postage stamp" size field. All illuminated by lights
Watching the old girl fill up with fans
And the cheer from the princess street as they see the boys filter out and come warm up.
Talking to friends about what we reckon
That buzz of 7.55pm and the players get the knock on the dressing room door

Time to make history

we are setting off early like a lot more will be doing, may have a quick pint wonder down Weldon RD amongst a throng of CAS supporters with a sprinkling of our near neighbours, anticipation of a good match and hopefully a win, after the game Sweet Caroline belting out, lets hope its a night to remember for the right reasons, I still have flash backs to that aeroplane with the banner , HAVE NO FEAR ITS ONLY KEAR

We can't set off until
4 pm earliest and just hoping the M1 is clear
The last home game we came to the first 20 miles took 90 minutes!

I've heard we've shortened the pitch by a further 10 metres just to make sure we win. ;)

Yeah, he's actually not a bad ref now. Amazing what happens when someone learns from their mistakes...

I honestly can't describe how I feel in these hours building up to this. Like many on here I've had my hopes dashed and dreams become nightmares so many times it's like I want to get excited but just daren't take the risk.

I wouldn't mind running the ball in first time like although that would most likely result in me missing the rest of the game/season...

I can not understand all the tension. We have won the LLS. It might not be presented tonight, but it will be sometime. Does it really matter when - this week, or our next home match or the match after that. What difference does it make. We would need to lose every match by 30 points or so, and Leeds will lose tomorrow anyway to confirm it.

I think most of us want to see it finally over with, and tonight's context is as good as any. It will be an anti-climax if it is decided at 10 pm tomorrow with me in my armchair watching Leeds!

It will still be the first time and will be fantastic for everyone , whether tonight or our next home match which may also be a full house.

really really would like it tonight, at home, local derby, house full of cas fans barring a mini bus full from wakey and in front of the SKY cameras this would be real justice for how well we have performed this season and the presentation atmosphere the Team and coaching staff deserve Come on Cas would be a special night

Just to let anyone know who are heading into cas, there are traffic lights on ponte road close to Oxford street. It's bad enough through day, so tonight it will be mental.
Set off in plenty of time.
