Saturday confirmed the first FA Cup finalist due a return trip to Wembley, as Premier League Portsmouth made the best of few chances in a lacklustre encounter to beat West Brom by a single goal - Pompey and renowned manager Harry Redknapp as a result presented with a chance of glory in May for the final.

From the television pictures at least, as much of a concern as the lack of goalmouth action was the lack of noise or singing generated. To that end it's our collective mission to make sure we all perform our duty and to stay on song for the City for the full duration of our Wembley adventure.

For the official coaches travelling, the media department have prepared DVDs of FA Cup and League match highlights, a special FA Cup message from Roger Johnson and some of our best bits as supporters from the Middlesbrough match.

The DVDs have been handed to Vince Alm of the Cardiff City Supporters Club to distribute - Vince also telling us that a hardy 700 road regulars are all together at Wembley to play their part in orchestrating the mighty Blue Army!

We know that this match is a different situation to most, with many making the trip not our usual travelling fan base. Wembley will also disperse many of the hardcore singers, where normally they are all in the same stand.

Our job is to come together as a 33,000 strong blue army and to sing the boys to glory. Make some noise for the boys at Wembley!!!

Come on City!!!
