Dad on one side and another bloke on the other who appeared to have absolutely no time for any albion player or consider any of them any good at anything. It made me very glad for my spec at the Amex. Surrounded by people who don't have an entirely unrealistic expectation of what a human body is actually capable of and don't come to the match solely to rage against their own inadequacy.

[Football] Who did you sit with?
- Thread starter Hovegull
- Start date
Sat on my tod for the 1st half but noticed a seat in front was empty, so sister sat with me from the 2nd half…
Ronald was also in my block at the front.

You must have been close to us. Sidders seemed like an absolute gent. Less so the lad who was sick and his mates, and then the group of stewards taking about 15 mins to clear up after him who seemed not to be bothered about who's view they were blocking!
Additionally blokes needing p1ss breaks every five minutes around us. Must have been some significant beer consumed in Wembley yesterday!

Well he was in the bar with his family so I just assumed he was staying there

Your support is not that great
Yes, block 141. Very good seats I thought, especially the ones that weren't spattered with vomit ...
Sat in front of some guy in his 50's who spent the entire game bellowing f*** f*** f***ing f***. Literally every two minutes. Bit awkward with my 7 and 9 year old with me. I went in the lower tier and knew it would be a bit rowdy and I don't mind people swearing at football when something happens, it's part of the game. But when it is incessantly bellowed every two minutes at trivial things (like, for example, the "REF BEING A f***ing CHEAT"- despite him putting in a good performance) it's just irritating, and completely unnecessary. However drunk I was, and whatever happened, I don't think I could ever bring myself to swear that much in front of two young kids. Mainly because of what I'd think everyone else around me thought of me.

How soon is now?
Sat up in the gods with my son on one side, and a fandom fan on the other who may have benefitted from a shower.. Could hear the singing but it was quite muffled and difficult to join in with.
Getting out and home wasn't a barrel of laughs, and has put me off going to Wembley again(although I reserve the right to change my mind if we get there anytime again soon). We got in at 11.45 after a train delay and having to stand from Clapham to Burgess Hill, but there were others with younger children than my son who will probably have got home a lot later....

Hopefully on a lower level. Up in the Gods the inclines are seriously scary. Wouldn't take very much at all for anyone to skittle about ten people in the rows in frontThere was a guy about three rows in front who was barely able to stand upright …staggering up and down the isle

I’m sorry I’ll reprimand my secretary for her slap dash work
People get to Sheffield United for a big event. Lads drinking from 07:30 and it all wears off 20 mins into the game.There was a guy about three rows in front who was barely able to stand upright …staggering up and down the isle
Sat behind Colwell's family of 20+ all the adults wearing his shirts. They weren't much interested in the game and kept getting up and down to the concourse.

Think yourself fortunate you didn't encounter him at Tottenham away!

My 2 daughters and mostly die hard Albion fans. Bloke in front with his Mrs and 3 kids was worse for wear after a couple too many sherbets but he was pretty tame.
Tried to go to the loo at HT but the que was massive so I nipped out 10 mins into the 2nd half and there must have been 30-40 blokes drinking still and chatting away on the concourse (was up in the gods) in small groups. Why go to the expense and hassle of going to Wembley and not watch the match?
Chicken and chips were pretty good tbh.

Chelsea fans I guess and without him on the pitch, no interest in the game.

Two dutch guys on my right...(one of whom stunk of BO ). Neither showed any real interest in the game. A guy to my left just listened to music and three Japanese, Mitoma fans behind me.
I was up in the Gods in 531.
A thoroughly unenjoyable experience.
I'm hugely grateful to Solly March , so I don't have go through all this shit again on June 3rd.
