Was Whing on the terrraces?

[Aspinal's Body Double]

At the end of the game, I saw Tommy Elphick come over to the fans and wave for someone to come down. Asssumed he was pointing to a friend or relative and looked away. A couple of minutes later Whing appeared on edge of pitch and embraced players and then walked back to tunnel with them.

I think he may have been on the terraces behind the goal with the rest of us. Anyone know?

 

[Frutos]

I believe he was.

 

[seagullsss]

i wondered that 2 whing appeared from no-where he was also waving at the start

 

[SNOOBS]

Yes Whing was there in amongst the fans

 

[stig]

yeh i saw him

 

[mrhairy]

Yes he was from about 2:30. Watched the whole game from there. Surprised the stewards let him on the pitch. They must have wondered why all the Brighton team were hugging this supporter?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Yes, I actually have a picture on my phone of him standing alone on his own.

Great of him to be in there, could have joined in with the chanting though

 

[Aspinal's Body Double]

Yes, he did appear to be on his own when he came on to the pitch. He was dressed in plain black coat and did look like supporter. Maybe didn't want to draw attention to himself.

Real credit to him for doing this. Thinks it also says a lot for team spirit the way the team came to look for him after game. He seemed as delighted with results as anyone who played. Nice touch from Elphick too, shows his maturity.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Actually come to think of it, he was with his mum I think, either that or his girlfriend is about 50.

He didn't succeed, loads of fans (not including me) were going up to him before the match, shaking his hand, hugging him, and generally making him welcome.

Always good to see members of the team in among the supporters.

Here's a photo to confirm he was there.

Fair enough. Fat chance of seeing that as a Chelsea fan?

 

[Burgess Hill Seagulls]

If I am right i think his family live in Coventry so he may well have been there for easter and came down to watch and got the players coach back. Hat off to him, alot of other players wouldnt have bothered!

Elphick spoke to the steward standing at the edge, obviously telling him who he was, so that's how he got on the pitch.

Remember when Kerry Mayo was threatened with arrest for going on the pitch at the end of the match at Wycombe Wanderers a few year back?

And he was in KIT.

Wayne Henderson got injured just before the Bradford game, so he watched it from the stand with us. When Bowditch got the winner (we won 3-2) he jumped up onto the low wall and was grabbed by stewards and ejected from the ground!!

Wasn't that the Falmer protest sit-in?
