Because it normally happens like that for big games. It did at Old Trafford '14.
We didn’t do both at the Checkatrade. The atmosphere at Wembley was crap
Nah ,we had moments but not the thunder I expectedIt wasnt shite at all, we were just as loud as Pompey who had not been on the lash for 24 hours.....Deffo some bleary eyes in our end like but fuck it, it was epic.
Couldnt believe how naive you were so quoted it twice
The tickets will sell out no problem manI'm not convinced we will even sell the tickets never mind Trafalgar invasions
It's a fair point mind. I see this being a more business like trip rather than a daft free weekend like in a normal cup final. Serious match this and we should be right up for it on the day.Hope not or it'll be another shite atmosphere from our lot when it matters most.
Well said. Once the game becomes more important than the provincial boys jolly up is the day safc re enter the big time.
I agreeSo was I. Plus I was in corporate on half way line. They made more noise.
I can tell you now there was nothing staged about Trafalgar, what you read on here was that people were in two minds wether to Covent or Trafalgar, it was hard to tell if it was gona happen at all, then that night was incredible, absolutely thousands took over, I’ve seen nowt like itMight get pelters for this but it just seems like a load of pre arranged shite to me, the league cup final just happened as far as I can recall, now people are trying too hard to copy shit that was organic.
I've no problem with people who didn't make the cup final trying to sample the buzz but it's not for me. I was on the south coast before the last final, yes some great images but a bit too staged for me. (fire away, I'm in two minds if I should even post this now, sound like a right grinch)
We didn’t bring the centre of the capital to a standstill !I mean that's just not true. All the talk was whether people should meet in Trafalgar square or Covent garden or both.
As for saying it was alright for an hour or so you guess. I'm not sure how you know not having been there. Just about everyone there said it was incredible. And it was. We brought the centre of our capital to a standstill.
As for the match I remember reading posts from you saying you weren't sure whether you could be arsed with going to the game or words to that effect. So to get the hump with half of our support being hungover and quiet is a bit rich.
Anyhow, it's all a mute point for this game as it wont be repeated.
This theory was prevalent after the final and it was probably right. I thought support was a bit muted on the day. (On 65 minutes, a guy near me in the gods chanted, 'I'll sing on my own').Come down see the sights and go nuts AFTER the match. Don’t get so fucked up that you’re feeling less than 100% on match day morning. If the players went out and got bolloxed the night before the fans would be whinging like mags on Father’s Day. Real twelfth men/women would be more responsible. Charlton certainly will....it’s their inbuilt advantage.
I tend to agree, marra. I prefer spontaneity to stage managed happenings any day, but it's each tivizarn, as per....Might get pelters for this but it just seems like a load of pre arranged shite to me, the league cup final just happened as far as I can recall, now people are trying too hard to copy shit that was organic.

It's becoming more important to some than the actual game ! As long as we can show the media how we can party in London rather than how vocal and passionate we are at the stadium ! Baffling but I suppose considering a lot who don't follow the team at home and away will go to London and Wembley it's not a surprise1. They’re not famous.
2. More interested in the novelty of us actually winning at Wembley than whether or not the met love us.
