Fighting at Wembley in Block 534

The whole stand up/sit down situation is a mess! And causes more trouble than anything else at Wembley, in 139 we were on the edge of everyone standing in 138.
A father and daughter next to me wanted to stand up however the guy behind with his 4 year old wanted to sit and enjoy their first visit to Wembley, after a bit of an argument, they sat down but never returned after half time leaving 4 empty seats on our row as they must of squeezed in somewhere else in the standing area, which from my past experiences can also end in trouble.
Blue on Blue should never happen, it ruins the day for so many.

We’re the only set of fans who sit down at Wembley. I know some people can’t stand for long periods or can’t stand at all, but no other set of fans sit down at all so how do they manage?

They all sit in those Cat 1 seats. Watch the highlights for 10 secs and Chelsea are too.

You got to Challenge Cup Final and everyone is sat down.

I will never understand blue on blue. I’ve always regarded it as an unwritten rule that you look after each other and that you would never hurt one of your own. It’s very sad to hear this and those dickheads throwing punches are a disgrace.

Yep, I agree ..... it's pretty sickening to hear about City fans turning on one another.

The whole demographics of any section is messed up at Wembley and always has been, piss heads next to families next to tourists next to geriatrics, it’s a recipe for disaster and a powder keg for trouble and abuse.
Standing creates a better atmosphere for all, no doubt about that.
But I also get why families with kids and the elderly that have been watching us for 50 years, want to sit down and should not be subject to a torrent of abuse.
 
I had the seat next to stand up man in the stand up sit down battle of 126/7. Nice bloke, with his son. Had all the City chats with him and stuff about the game as it happened. He wasn't pissed or on anything. He was stood up no more than anyone else in that area; I don't remember ever being sat down while he stood. Sit down man on the other hand - while I can't say whether/how much he'd drank/sniffed, I can say that I've never seen anyone that angry - like tears of rage angry. Some on here joking about barm vs muffin, but yesterday this man would definitely have fought you over what bread's called. Regardless of what he may have drank/taken, I reckon there was something not right in his head - a few loose screws.
Anyway, having said nothing all game (as far as I know), he just exploded on my guy - 'If you don't effin sit down I'm gonna effin rip your...etc'. You could hear in his voice that he was on the edge of crying. Stand up man thought it best to wind him up a bit more and a low punch-count melee began. Sit down man's mates got involved and a couple of random plonkers made a journey over to get involved. Then a Lot of stewards (no police) came and removed sit down man (with a tiny bit of blood on his mouth) and a few of his mates + plonkers.
The battle was won by stand up and his son.

In the seating section or safe standing section…

Seating - right at the back of 127 on the bottom tier (me 127-43-123)

Exactly my point that it’s a complete shit show! Seat guy gets twatted by stand guy in the seat section, it never goes away.
Over the years I’ve seen people punched, kicked, spat on and kids reduced to tears.
Until Wembley/FA/City get it sorted it will continue on.

I was a few rows infront of you and saw all the commotion. Something also seemed to happen as a young guy was removed between him and another fan who was nowhere near the incident, not sure what that was about. However, it helped a very tense final 10 minutes go by much faster!

Quite a serious issue, but found myself laughing throughout that tale of the adventures of 'stand up man' and 'sit down man'. Sound like arch enemies in a child's comic strip.

I was in the pub at 10.30am, i managed to meet and share City and Life with a couple of ex Manc blues, without getting falling over pissed, unfortunately there were quite a few young City fans who were leglessly incoherent.
After the game near Wembley Central one hit a young Chelsea fan from behind, he picked on the wrong lad.
Drinking needs a little bit of timing, no use spending all the energy in the first hour, I had a brief chat with some young pissed up lads early yesterday and no way will they have any memory of Wembley, or in reality enjoyed it. Yes I am FOC, but we were so much better at drinking back in the day, I am sure it cannot be just drink to get in that state.

Part timer. I was in the pub about 6.30 for a refresher, bottle on the coach, couple at Uxbridge and a pre-match gargle at the ground. Never felt even the slightest desire to punch anybody.

You just get a different demographic at the big games.

Sounds like it will go down in history as the Legendary Battle of Stand Up, Sit Down Man. :-)

Yeah, it was behind us but then it carried on as he was being escorted out, think a guy spat on him so the young lad lamped the bloke, and it all went crazy again, lol.

Sad to say a couple of very lively and noisy blues were “lifted” as soon as they got through Wembley Park station as the sniffer dogs were all over them . Police snatch squads appearing from nowhere !

"Sad to say" why?

If anyone (blues or otherwise) are out & about off their faces on drugs or carrying drugs, then it's their own fault if they get pulled for it. Can't fault the police snatch squads in this instance if it means less nob heads inside Wembley starting fights.
