Around 9pm, after escaping that Wembley sludge to the tube station.
I've been in quicker traffic jams on M25!

I'll let you know when i get there. Long way to west Cornwall....
10pm. Withdean.
Taxis at Brighton Station were carnage, as rail replacement buses had taken their rank, instead based in the car park queue. Tempers were frayed as queue jumpers strolled to grab taxis before they got to the queue.
So we walked down into the New England quarter and grabbed one there.

Not sure of the exact time but I had already got back to Hove and cancelled my parking for the final by 22:05, when the email pinged through. Left exactly as the winning penalty went in, walked briskly to the car parked about 15 minutes walk away and didn’t encounter too much traffic at all on the way home.

Back in Bexhill at 22:30 thanks to a combination of trains to Orpington and then driving back from there. Using Wembley Stadium to Marylebone after the game reduced waiting times considerably.

About midnight. On the Supporters club coach, which picked up and dropped us off in Peacehaven. We left at 11.00 so a 13 hour day for us.
I dislike Wembley. The worst part of coach travel was waiting for coaches in front of us to leave. It took over an hour to get out of Pink Parking.

1am, but we did stop for pizza and bear at Victoria. Slow crawl on the train and no busses at Brighton, so walked down Queens Road and hailed a cab.
23:45 - Worthing.
Took an age to get out of the stadium as we were towards the back of block 550. Essentially the rest of the block filtered out first before we even got to move from our row. The stadium was all but empty by this point.
The crowds made it a slowish walk back to the car park near Wembley Central and then Waze sending us via all the 20mph back roads with brutal speed bumps to avoid the clogged main roads.
Got to Fleet Services on the M3 around 21:15 for a quick Burger King dinner before dropping my daughter off in Winchester to return to university lectures today, and then continuing on to Worthing.
Cracked open a bottle of red, and had my first drink of the day, around midnight.

Been to Wembley countless times. Both the old and new and that was by far the worst I've experienced getting away from the ground.
We gave up on the queue for the tube and went in the pub by Wembley Arena for 3 pints. We were able to walk straight onto the tube but they were still knackered. Had to change at Baker Street to get to KX only to find the northern line was up the wall. Missed the 10:25 train by minutes so had to wait until the 11:25. Managed to get the last cab off the rank so got home to Crowborough at 12:30.

9.45pm.
Drove up. Slow initially, then relatively smooth.

11:15ish Hollingdean- and I think I had one of the less painful journeys. I got the metropolitan line around 8:50 to Great Portland Street (stuck next to a gobby manc tw@ slinging insults at Brighton fans), it was quicker to get off there and take a short walk to Warren Street, stopped for food and drink at Victoria, took the Gatwick Express at 9:29 and changed for the delayed Thameslink Service around 10 past 10.

Seagull Travel ST26 direct from Uckfield.
Left Wembley Pink Parking at around 8:00 and as every other coach turned left, as signposted, our driver turned right . Somehow we went down a minor road with no traffic, joined an empty main road and wizzed past all the ST coaches stuck going the other way. Through Tottenham and joined the M11 north bound. Then the M25 via Dartford and on to the A21/A26 home. Arrived Uckfield at just after 10:00.

I need to make a point here.
THIS WAS A 4:30 KICK OFF!!!!!!!!
Wembley hosts many evening games and gigs etc. How are you supposed to get anywhere at a remotely sensible time if it's taking 4 hours to get out of Wembley and get to Brighton? How are you supposed to take kids to these matches?

Didn't rush off at the end, wacthed the players leave and was chatting to people, but was still back in Burgess Hill about 9.45 - parked on a driveway off Ealing Road about 25 mins away (longer on the way back due to crowds) which meant missing the worst of the traffic although the A40 was slow. Once off that and on the M25 it was fine. Popped into Cobham services briefly, seemed to be full of Albion shirts.
