Fans leaving

[Jonnoj]

What is it with some of our fans.
Almost all stayed for the trophy but by the time the players did the slide the majority around us had left?
What have they got to go to that's more important or more fun???
Some people are odd.
On a separate note how classless were some of the villa fans, women being called slags, dads with their kids having guys shouting in their faces - brave huh?? Never had a problem with them before but the ones I saw deserve no more than they got with the result

Some people had trains/coaches to catch, I'm sorry what was so important about the players doing a slide, this was well after everyone had experienced some great celebrations of players dancing running around enjoying it with the fans, i certainly don't have any regrets that I missed it.

[Holders]

I thought everyone stayed, unless you mean Villa.

[snarks]

I left after the photos on the podium on the pitch, by that time I had to get home, I do have other responsibilities as a grown up goddamit

[Jonnoj]

I couldn't leave until I'd rung every last drop out of the experience.
Too many awful experiences.
I can't imagine what else you had to do on a day like that, maybe I'm a worse grown up!!

I can only talk from my view. I was soaking it all in. I was too young for 75, was a bit pissed in Hamburg and made a point that I was going to take and remember the whole day.

The first I saw of the slide was on the net. I was gutted as I had left. I was watching TC sitting in the centre circle and the players seemed to be drifting away. It was only at this point we left. I thought it was all done.

I'm sure I was not alone in that. Behind the goal seemed to be more packed and livelier. I was somewhat up in the gods

I spoke to a dad carrying his son on the way into Wembley, asked was his son having a good day and he said everything was fine until he got off the tube at Wembley Park got abuse shouted at him and some of it directed at his son he was 7, I really don't understand this level of support they think they are giving to their team is shouting at a 7 year old and his dad going to help villa in some way, and about 20 yards from watkins folly after the game there was a villa fan out of his head drunk swinging at Fulham fans if it wasn't for his mates keeping people away from him and explaining how drunk he was who knows what could have happened.

Walking to our coaches  as a 77 year old I saw a 10 year old Villa fan with his Dad and he was obviously very disappointed. I ruffled his hair and told him that he would not have to wait as long as I have had to see his team play at Wembley again. His dad took it in good spirit and said that Villa would have to rebuild getting rid of their old players.
I saw no trouble and there must have been more than a few drunk Fulham fans after that match.
I hope they behaved themselves.
Finally, I Spoke to an elderly Fulham fan (probably older than me!) sitting on a wall some distance from the stadium and looking unwell. He was struggling after a day in the heat to get to his coach and I do hope that he made it.

There were a few idiots outsde the Ibis hotel and some in the  queue for the trains at Wembley Stadium station goading and  looking for an excuse to pick a fight.  Someone did throw a beer into our queue which was largely Fulham families getting the train towards High Wycome but a larger mainly younger bunch of freindly Villa fans threw a beer at their own supporters. I don't think the idiots would have been quite so mouthy had it not been full of families and people  obviously not in a position to retaliate . I spoke to Villa fans before and after who were pleasant and met Simon Morgans Sister and Dad on our train .I suspect there were a few Fulham idiots around but I honestly didn't see any .

I hung on for about 45 minutes until most of the celebrations had been done but had to call it a day then.  If I hadn't had my 7 year old daughter with me + a 2 hour drive I would have stayed longer.

Disappointing to hear of some Villa fans reactions (particularly when kids were around); the ones I spoke to after were very gracious and accepting the better side won.

Mrs Mince and I are still in there,can you get hold of someone who has  the key.😂😂😂

[Fulham Tup North]

My son and I went to The Torch before the match and as we were going in some Fulham fan was in handcuffs being dragged out to a Police van. Why go all the way there just to get yourself nicked before kick off?? Crazy!! The pub atmosphere was superb, especially when Villa coaches went passed 😃  Excellent day. We stayed at Wembley until after the 'slide'. Great memories 😁😁⚽⚽  :yay:

I had to get back to the Midlands, due to travel chaos and not being made of money to afford a hotel for the night I had to ensure I was back in time for my coach back - which was full of Villa fans so I had to keep myself on mute  :005:

[Rhys Lightning 63]

I left once they did the main trophy lift from the royal box. After that, everything else is just filler

[Southcoastffc]

Hey, we played very well, we won, we are promoted. Why the sad face?  It's not a time to quibble. Enjoy yourself.

[Jonno]

 I stayed and loved every minute but completely understand that people had to get home. The good thing about staying was that there weren't many Villa about and we saw no trouble but reading the Villa forums, even they were annoyed with some of their own support who had far too many and acted up, even with their own.
Personally I didn't see many Fulham that bad - maybe we wanted to saviour the day more.

I think I am a bad grown up too, because I felt the same as you and I stayed until after the slide, after which most players and supporters called it a day (approx. 7-40pm).  Even so, if I had not been with my sons, I might have stayed even longer. I was that reluctant to leave the scene of one of the greatest days I have had in supporting Fulham for nearly 50 years.

To be fair, it looked like the celebrations were winding down before they were revived by Mitro's on Fire and the slide, so I can understand why some left, even if they didn't have particular coaches or trains to catch, families to look after etc.

Yes 44 years for me and too young to go in 75
No complaints about fans leaving just find it odd. when you go through so much crap got to savour the good stuff and Mitros on fire will stay with me forever

45 years a supporter and like you deemed too young to go with Dad and Uncle in 75.  I savoured every moment of Saturday.  The day was one of those "life time memories" for me that I did not want to end.  I took a call from a friend at 1946, he laughed when I told him I was still in Wembley stadium.  Still grinning like a Cheshire Cat now
