It was a funny old day for me and i'm grateful for all the video and TV coverage to fill in the blanks. Started the day in Reykjavik at 5am, temperature -3°C. We flew over the Ricoh at 11ish but multiple delays and jobsworths meant that I finally got into the stadium a few minutes after Geddes had made it 2-0. So it was a bit strange to join the party at that point, having missed most of the important action, but the atmosphere was great and I started to get into it towards the end. Seeing gobsmacked and elated friends after the final whistle was great but I'm glad that I will be at the whole of the Scunthorpe game to watch it all unfold.

Sorry you missed that Niels: it was a great day and, as you probably felt from what little you saw, the atmosphere was electric. That cauldron of noise will stay with me for a long time to come. Something to savour for the bad times.

Having held my breath for 7 minutes whilst peering into the gathering darkness I can utter the words "I WAS THERE" as too young for 1959 and away from the area in the 70s and 80s it does not get any better than that. What impressed me was the line up where we had 3 strikers at all times together with an attacking midfielder so there was never a question of parking the bus. Hope that a DVD of the day can be produced.

Hope that a DVD of the day can be produced. I was thinking the same. This FA Cup run can be the gift that keeps on giving. The coverage on the Sunday afternoon BBC Final Score was excellent - they gave us lots of air time (understandable as the afternoon progressed as it did). If anyone hasn't watched it, it's a must see. If there's any chance of Final Score footage being incorporated in an FA Cup run DVD it would be fabulous. I watched the video the club did of the Rushden & Diamonds run recently - that was good, but this run/DVD would be different class. Jason Mohammad announcing that there was FA Cup history in the making at the Ricoh, as GOAL flashed up behind him - it's spine tingling. The screen then switches to our game & as Jacqui Oatley is saying "Quite incredible......Sean Geddess scored with a penalty....& now...." Worcester 2 pops up. Poetry.

He has got a point
We were magnificent
But Coventry were pretty atrocious.

Caught up with this on Iplayer, really positive comments from the guys in studio. Still online for the next 25 days or so

On harley's recommendation downloaded this, and it was fascinating to watch history unfolding, and of course it was possible to fast forward till you saw those green shirts. Well worth watching; helped re-live the day all over again.
The comments from Kevin Kilbane and Jason who? were so complimentary.
At one point the match statistics that flashed up in the right-hand corner showed City having had 62% possession and 6 corners to their 1.

The goals we scored at the Richoh formed part of the report about the sacking of Coventry's manager last night on Midlands Today. More publicity!

Thanks for giving me an excuse to stop and relive my most favourite day!
No matter what happens in the future to our club, we can all fondly remember the day that we showed up the big boys. I was half convinced my two grandparents were going to collapse from all the excitement.
The support we had that day was unreal, only showing that there is a demand for football back in Worcester!
Lets hope there's more days like this to come!

Footage of that day still gives me goosebumps.

...also great to be able to savour these moments on video.
I have fleeting memories of the day we beat Plymouth, almost beat Newport - and when we went to Coventry in 83 (ish). Wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to re-live them also!

coventry 83ish, i still remember a little, Newport about the same, but still gutted could not get to Coventry in 14 all because of TV messing around day & times & not being able to fit with work.. but my greatest matches are the two Scunthorp ones of 14, we played brilliant & were so unlucky not to get the win..
