Wembley is actually pretty decent as a gig venue. Sound is ok, and the facilities are ok I don't mind it all. Obviously leaving with 80-90.000 other people can be problematic but as long as you are patient then it's alright.

To be fair, I left Upton Park with ten minutes to go once and it was a 3pm kick-off on a Saturday. The sixth goal had just gone in though.
You did better than quite a few around me that day. They left when the fourth went in!

Bozza, when was the last time you started a positive or even 'neutral' thread? Every thread or poll you have started recently has just fanned the flames of negativity on this board. When did they score their second goal - 87th minute? Wembley is an absolute pain to get away from, especially midweek. Were we going to stage a dramatic comeback in the remaining seconds? No. It doesn't mean we are all on the verge of slashing our wrists. In fact, it doesn't really mean anything.
The possibility of doing a QPR (against Brentford) or Palace (against Watford) always keeps me in the ground right up to the final whistle.
The chances of a come-back are slim but last minute equalisers or win are one of the best things in football. Better still if the opposition fans are giving it large, which was presumably the case in these two matches but wasn't last night.

I always stay to the end for weekend games but usually leave 5 mins early for night games.
Last night wasn't too bad as the crowd was only 42k or so vs a 62k low for our other premiere league games so far.
Like most Spurs fans I detest Wembley with a passion and cant wait to get to our new place.

I am massively Albion positive.
My one personally held negative viewpoint is that I think we have failed to maximise the opportunities we've had at home, but that's about it. Four months ago I'd have snatched anyone's hand off for 13th place mid-December.

I suspect the advertising revenue for Nsc is getting low, so start a few clickbait threads after a loss, and you get lots of posts. He even got one of the moderators to start one which hitony rarely does.
Of course, Bozza could just like starting threads.

Definitely wrong on your last sentence. The fans are together as one. Last night was a strange one-off. None of us had seen a league match at Wembley. It was an 8.00 pm kick off, therefore a late finish. No one really knew how the travel arrangements would pan out, whether we would be stuck forever queuing for tubes or trains to get us back to other train connections in time. So leaving just before full time in those circumstances was justifiable. If, on the other hand, it had been a 3.00pm Saturday kick off . . . .

I just don't understand what the point of this thread is unless it's to get all the bedwetters to come out yet again. It was a late kick-off, most Albion fans not going to get home until well after midnight, the queues at local stations would be horrendous, the game is lost. With only three minutes plus added time left, of course people are going to leave.
Which I think is what's got NSC in all of a tizzy recently.
My guess is instead of (all of us) snatching hands off for 13th, you'd have assumed we'd be 4 points off a relegation place by mid December.
Meaning with the false position has come false hope, and false 'delusions of greatness'.
I'd hazard a guess the team is about where the majority thought they would be in terms of the relegation places, but are actually more surprised by the amount of dross keeping them company.

I'm so cross.
I stayed until the final whistle as I was certain we would score three goals in the last three minutes.

True.
Swansea adding TA, Bony, Clucas and Sanches were seen as more than decent.
Stoke and Palace spending fortunes again, on already expensive squads.
WBA and Pulis secure.
Everton and West Ham on huge spending sprees.
Southampton and Bournemouth established, always able to win plenty of PL games.
The reality of 17/18 has been 11 poor teams by and large.
The January transfer window presents an opportunity for a club acting quickly to pull away.

Jeez...
I have no idea on current ad revenue. I won't get a report for 1-31st December until the 31st January.
No I didn't. I've never asked a single moderator to start a thread, including that one. As it happened I didn't even know he was at the game until I read one of his posts this morning, which is disappointing as I'd have arranged to meet up.
Well, yes. In this case it was only because the bloke behind me shouted something like "where are you all going?" that I really noticed and, as I say, I thought it unusual. It wasn't passing judgement on anyone. I don't think I've ever posted on the "People Leaving Early" threads other than, possibly, just to say that it goes on everywhere.

I was in the Spudz end with a customer of mine. I left after second goal. Parked at Ikenham but issues with M25, dropping some pals home, resulted in me not getting back home in my bed much after 2am. If I was in the Away end I'd probably have stayed but it was hard enough being in the away end during the game.

That is not a positive thread! You are inviting people to question the ability of one of the best managers we've ever had. Presumably because we really should be beating the likes of Liverpool and Spurs.

I’ve explained twice on that thread why I started it because I knew that it would show all but complete support for Hughton, and so it proved.
If you don’t understand that it says more about you than it does about me.

I have been to half of the away games this season and also noticed the exodus which I thought was unusual based on my limited experience. I left on the whistle as I had a coach to get to , not sure what I would have done if I had been using the tube/train route but the reason I got the coach was to avoid that situation. I got back to the AMEX about 00:30 having had a bit of kip on the way back. I am surprised more people don't get coaches...
