The lads have participated in some team-bonding over the last couple of days, after they sealed their place in the '£60m' game in midweek with a victory over Preston North End.

Kevin Blackwell and co took the lads to Wembley Stadium on Thursday afternoon and looked around the facilities, had a stroll on the pitch and also a walk down the famous Wembley Way.

Boss Kevin Blackwell said: "It's a new venue to most of the lads, they have never been and it takes some getting used to. It is about preparing the players - we don't want anything to surprise them when we come back here for the final.

"We are trying to arm them with every bit of knowledge we can and want to cover every possible angle to acclimatise in order for them to be ready.

"It is a credit to the country (Wembley Stadium), it is a marvellous building but it will only be a great stadium if we win."
