i too left straight after the final whistle, when the players look and see us all leaving then they must realise what we are thinking about the game they played

i suspect they just wanted to get off the pitch as fast as possible

Most definitely and seeing the fans streaming out would have let them know we wasn't happy.

I stayed until the end to watch the cup presentation, its the least a spectator can do after those players have given their all for 80 minutes, I find it very disrespectful to change channels before the cup has been presented.

Anyway after that I went into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and had some ginger biscuits with it, gorgeous they were too, when I came back there was something else on.

4 posts - 3 on the Leeds board, 1 on the Saints one and all anti Leeds. I liked him.



What the ..... you mean you couldn't wait until after the Red Button Forum. Disgraceful.

Mine was about 5 minutes after the start of the 2nd half of the 1993 (?) Semi Final humiliation at Central Park ....

I'll vouch for that ... I was with him !

Still, made it nicely back to Wembley Park tube with all the other thousands of Leeds fans and other supporters who'd left before the end.

They pay their money and can support the team or not however they wish for me.

Our team certainly dont need glory supporters...............I'd say a prop forward is far more pressing as well as a decent creative centre and...................

Hahaha. I changed the channel in a fit of rage and went into the kitchen. After about 10 minutes I was over it and invited my mates round.

I foresaw our dread full performance so left directly after the first verse of Abide With Me.

I have attended a similar amount of games to you . Add in the Lazenby Cup game , and a trip to York (both were colder nights than the Wrexham game ) , and several others .
I ALWAYS stay to cheer the team off regardless of the performance or the result , BUT , I left just after the final hooter . I didn't have much choice though . I didn't know where our coach was parked .
I paid for my ticket , so it was entirely up to me when I left the ground , or even wether or not I attended the game at all .

This time I went a few minutes earlier than I normally would . Does it make me just a lightweight bandwaggoner for doing so ?

BTW
Was talking to a family member of one of the Wire players today and she said that the fighting was caused by Wire fans . She also said that after the game she was sat in her car (wearing Wire shirt/scarf etc) and some Wire 'fans' were screaming at her through the windows that she was 'fkin scum' . You really couldn't make it up could you .

*edit..... Just chuckling to myself at what would have happened if Garreth had walked over to get in her car . The looks on their faces would have been priceless , but they were probably so drunk they wouldn't have even recognised him .

I could quite easily have left at half time.

Sadly I found quite a number of their fans to be very 'bad winners' both outside the ground and at the services on the way home. Some were a bit aggressive. A shame but I suppose we can let them have their moment.

Some of them didn't seem to realise however that I've watched enough Leeds no-shows in finals over the years for it to be water of a ducks back by now.

There were some real s on our row. They were Shorpe fans as they were singing about the iron.

They were taking great delight in goading Leeds fans and one of them bared his backside to a lad who could have been no more than 14.

The same one took offence to being elbowed in the ribs as he goaded a Leeds fan as he left. Thing was he did nothing until the Leeds fan had departed down the steps. He then took his shirt off and made to go after him before sitting back down.

How's yer elbow ?

Some "fans" around me were booing at half time and saying " Thats it we have lost " obviously not been to many games and watched us snatch victories when behind, I did stay to the end FWIW

Most of the ones I met were ok . Shaking hands and drunken hugs etc , but there were quite a few that for some reason wanted to have a go . I'd say that Saints fans at GFs are much better behaved .

I'm sure TVOC will have the stats . I think we have been quite good at getting late wins in recent years . Many's the time when I have had to call mates that left early to tell them that we won .

I was in the ground to the end, I spent the last ten minutes going for the poo that I'd needed all day.

I did mine at Wetherspoons at Leeds train station around midnight . After starting drinking at 6:10am , and all those '10p cheaper' sarnies and peanuts I reckon I could have done a reasonable job of pebble-dashing an average sized Little Chef .

Pretty sure they were justified in booing, they paid to go, where not happy with what they were seeing, and as for saying "Thats it we have lost" hate to break it to you but they were right there! seems these fans know more about rugby than you've given them credit.

Yes we did lose this time and yes we were outplayed but to give up on the team at H/T ? WTF ? I dont boo my own team just put it down to a bad day at the office and we did not play anything like we know we can.

Too much info - WAY too much info!!!

I was at my eldest daughter's wedding in Torquay and bood the Bride's Mother.

Does that make me a bad person, or simply an ex husband?
