i was on the phone for the 3rd talking to a mate back home and on the phone for the 4th debating when to leave and immediately left.

I stayed to clap the players off. Just the kind of guy I am.

Whilst we were shite yesterday, I refuse to believe that they werent trying etc. I'm as gutted as anyone else but still stayed to clap them. The cup run was so much more than yesterday, these were the same players that got us to Wembley and gave us the pleasure of Birmingham away which is probably my favourite ever away game. Thats what I will remember in a year or too, not the 90 mins of shite yesterday.

We left in the 89th minute. First time that I have ever left before the final whistle in 50 years of following the Wanderers - and I've seen some shite over the years, including the 5-0 at Sheffield Wednesday!

 

It didn't feel right though. I wish that I had stopped and clapped them off for what they have achieved as a team over the season on reflection. I was just too gutted though.

I left on 88 minutes so that I could get on the tube quickly, bizzarely though there were a few Stoke fans who had left early as well. Me and my brother chatted to a couple on the way back to Stanmore, and they were as shell shocked as we were by it all.

Many Wanderers supporters had fled the stadium by the time Walters scored his second 10 minutes from time ? and Davies reckons the sight of empty seats at one end of the stadium will be permanently etched on his mind.

 

?It was one of those occasions,? he said. ?I just felt powerless."

Stayed til the end, simply because I had the young lad with me on his first visit to Wembley and didn't want to ruin it anymore that it was, if that makes sense. can't help feeling if I was just with "the lads" would have been gone when they scored the 4th in all honesty

Till the end. I've never left early. I was under the stands chatting with little Whitt anewman and Zurich White for a bit though

I only left early so as not to get uneccessarily caught up in heavy traffic. It was nowt to do with the score.

I would have thought that was the reason most left early? Any normal game I would have stuck it out, I just didn`t fancy wading through a billion singing stokies on the tube platform with the thought of a 4 hour car journey ahead of us

my lad wanted out

 

had to explain to my eldest - she's 16 - that while we all wanted to go, it was up to her and we mmay never ever return

 

she said 'lets go'

 

i just didn't want to watch anymore

 

i was embarrassed

 

casino

happier losing a semi final than getting relegated

On the 4th goal.

Probably about the 3rd time I've left early in 60+ years. I thought - if the team haven't turned up, why should I bother.

Also avoided the Stoke fans celebrating while I'm trying to push a wheelchair through them, and avoided any traffic too.

I'll applaud the players for what they've achieved this season at the end of the Citeh game ........ and it HAS been a good season overall. Yesterday was just shocking by any measure though.
