[Albion] What time did you get home from Wembley yesterday ?

[HantsSeagull]

back to brighton station by 10.50pm and through the door in Hove by 11.15 (i walked). Had forgotten in last 40 years what a cluster**** Wembley is to get away from.
Got lucky by going Jubilee line rather than Bakerloo and then went to London Bridge rather than Victoria. Trains half empty.

 

[DanR]

Used Seagull coach travel, took an age to get there due to accident on the A21. Coming home the driver went east on north circular to Dartford. Got back to near Rye around 22:30.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Train back at Eastbourne station at 10:45. An hour quicker than last time with seagulls travel. Would have been 20 minutes earlier had the train not been so rammed.

You must have been on the same train as me.
Absolutely packed, and very hot. Had to stand all the way to Lewes.
I was so relieved to get back to Polegate and get some fresh air.

 

[kevo]

I got really lucky. I live about 6 miles from wembley and was back by about 8.20pm via tube

Thought I was going to win this. I live in north London and left as soon as the winning pen went in. Straight onto platform at Wembley Central. Home by 8.40.

The one positive from yesterday.

9.45pm back to Brighton Station

 

[Gwylan]

Back in Coldean about 11.40 - but I did stop in the Great Eastern for a quick one before getting the bus home.

Delays on the Metropolitan line didn't help matters

 

[upthealbion1970]

Seagulls travel to the Amex, got to the Mrs place in Bevendean about 10.20pm

 

[Nicks]

Walked in at 12.30am.
Thought I had a result by getting the 8.05 to Woking but once there there were no replacement buses to Andover, so stood about for 90 minutes waiting then had to get a bus that done a mystery tour of remote stations on the way to Andover. Got into Salisbury at 11.45 pm then walked home.

 

[Driver8]

Back home in North Wales at 12.15. Had to endure the arrogant Utd fans at the services which was nice. I don’t think I have come across such an obnoxious bunch of classless fans ever.

 

[AlexG]

8.30pm Watched the last penalty ... straight to Wembley Stadium station, 7.31pm train to Denham and then drove from there back to Ascot. Lucky with the journey if not unfortunately the match.

 

[Blue3]

Getting home in lancing around 10:30 but getting there was the nightmare with 4.5 hours of traffic, what truly awful place to build the national stadium it needed to be on a dedicated slip road off the M40 on a green field site with ample parking and train station.
outside getting into the stadium I saw no one who could help those having problems finding where they should be or having problems with the ticket reader there was loads of people asking the police who were just saying nothing to do with us, the first time you encountered Wembley staff was once inside the ground.
I hate Wembley stadium soulless we were talking coming home about had we won would we bother going up for the final or just stay at home and watch it on the TV

 

[Paranoid Android]

Back home in Guildford for 9:45pm, stayed to clap the team off and was opposite end to Wembley Park station. Friends who were sat elsewhere left right after the final penalty but only got onto the tube at Wembley Park by the time I was already at Waterloo, weren't home in Horsham till 11:30pm. Still not sure how I overtook them...

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Back in South London by 10:20

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Back home in south London by 9.50pm

 

[Guinness Boy]

We were in an aisle seat next to the exit and left as the last pen went in. Straight into Wembley Park, Jubilee to London Bridge, ran like a mad b'stard for a train that was due to leave 4 mins after getting out of the tube station, just made it. Mate had parked at Brighton Station and gave us a lift home. In the door 9.45 and I don't think we spent more than two minutes waiting anywhere.

Other mates were in the tube queue for 90 mins so although I'm a bad fan for not clapping off the players I'm glad we did what we did.

 

[zeemeeuw]

03:10

 

[Gwylan]

I need to make a point here.

THIS WAS A 4:30 KICK OFF!!!!!!!!

Wembley hosts many evening games and gigs etc. How are you supposed to get anywhere at a remotely sensible time if it's taking 4 hours to get out of Wembley and get to Brighton? How are you supposed to take kids to these matches?

Yeah, this is the most relevant point. Four hours for a 60-odd mile journey is ridiculous. It doesn't take all that much longer to get back to Brighton from the Millennium Stadium ... and that's about three times the distance. I'd certainly think twice about going to an evening match there

 

[Pavilionaire]

Back in Steyning 11.30pm.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Sounds like even though we clapped them off, waited for others from different blocks, meandered to Wembley Central, sat and ate some actually nice kebabs, got caught up in various delays, we still arrived on a Thameslink at Brighton by 11pm. Straight on a replacement bus, I was home in bed in Portslade by 11.30pm.

 

[FloatLeft]

I didn't go to the game as was on a stag do in Scotland.

However we did arrive back into Gatwick at 10pm and was hoping to jump straight on a train back to the Hastings, Polegate and Haywards Heath.

Every train was rammed. It was like Lewes to Falmer on a normal match day but on a much, much longer journey.

No wonder there was people fainting on the trains.
