But before hopping on board the team coach he briefly spoke to the gathered media.

Asked for a message to the fans, Gary said: "My message is it's all going to be worthwhile. I get the feeling the boys are up for it and when the fans get their tickets and are assured of their place at Wembley then they'll be relaxed like the boys are.

"The whole club will show how big it is on Saturday. To the fans - enjoy it, you deserve it."

The coach is now destined for the team hotel, before an afternoon visit to Wembley for a ground tour.

Tomorrow City will train in a secret location before spending another night at their hotel. Then it's on to Wembley for the big game on Saturday.
