APPEARANCES AT WEMBLEY STADIUM

We've played 12 games at Wembley Stadium since our first FA Cup appearance in 1959. We have a pretty good record of eight wins, a draw and three losses.
The victories are obviously the ones that count and our four League Cup wins in 1979, 1980, 1989 and 1990 are the highlights. Tucked in there are two wins in the Full Members Cup (aka The Simod Cup and the Zenith Data Systems Cup).
