The East Midlands travels to Wembley on Saturday to have a look at Box Park, park cars in North London football clubs car parks and pay for private driveways. Whatever happens - can there ever be any other place to win and partake in the national game than Wembley?
15:30 kick off at Wembley tomorrow.
Just like Michael Carrick says: "Tomorrow, we start again from scratch"
County have won nothing yet - other than being in the final - and being 23 points clear and seven wins better off than Chesterfield!

Notts have sold their allocation and Chesterfield are expecting 15,000+
Its likely the stadia will be just under half full - but for the fifth tier, thats better than some EFL clubs can muster.
Notts have only been able to procure 14 coaches.
Forest are travelling down to Chelsea for a Premier League game at the same time!
Chesterfield are all going down the M1 along with Notts.
The service station at Watford Gap will be interesting
No trains.
Every hourly service bus is almost sold out and people are travelling down by the car load.

Chesterfield have spent money building a fairly decent squad and a loss tomorrow might mean a major overhaul for the campaign next season. They have a nice neat Stadium and a history which includes a Cup Match against a certain North East team from North Yorkshire and a bloke with a voice like hot gravel! Notts face a similar dilema in the worse-case scenario: its highly likely Langstaff, Rodrigues and Palmer will be off if the Magpies dont go up. All three are definitely EFL standard. Blackpool were allegedly sniffing around Rodrigues before Christmas and it is rumoured Langstaff has been "sounded out". Its all rumour of course, but its more likely than not. Often wondered if Langstaff could play for Boro - but its probably too late for him to take such a big step up?

Its been five years since Chesterfield were dumped out of the Football League. Its easy to get forgotten, but their is far more to English football than three leagues and the "Big" league. Money doesnt drip down as far as Chesterfield, Notts, Southend, Oldham, Scunthorpe, Torquay, Aldershot and Rochdale. Its building from the bottom up with small investors, prudent player buying and tightly managing finances. It takes nouse and organisation to get out of the National League.
