Its Guinness time any day of the week.
This was my first visit to the new "Wembley" having been to the old stadium more than 15 times watching both City (1968/69 Leicester) onwards and on numerous occasions watching England in the old European Finals.
I took a gamble and was fortunate to get a ticket (being disabled) on the basis that maybe City fans would help out an old disabled twat like me.
Not so and OK I hold my hand up that maybe I wasn`t quite expecting a "fuck you I`m alright Jack " attitude from my fellow City fans.
I was in ENTRANCE C ,Block117 ,Row 159.
As I sat down being disabled all and sundry were stood up in front of me and I could see fuck all.My son asked the City fan 5 rows in front would he mind exchanging seats with me,as he had an unrestricted view as he was sat down for the entirety of the game.
Not only did the person decline, but he told my lad to fuck off. My son who is more tolerant than me had to hold back and hand on heart he could have ripped his head off.
At the end of the day all I was asking for was to move 5 seats in front,as all and sundry were stood up,blocking any view that I had.
Doubtful that you are reading this and sincere apologies if you feel I`m being a twunt.However I doubt I`ll be going back to Wembley and maybe its time to give up on our near yearly visit to the capital and concentrate on our PL home games.

My lad was very polite and asked would he mind moving back another 4 rows next to my lad (next to me) so that I could sit down and have an unrestricted view.The bugger was stood up all through the game and its not as if he wouldn`t be able to see the game himself had he moved back.
Sorry to be a narky twat but I thought that maybe a Blue could help out another Blue.
Felt like a sack of shite having stood up for near on 3 hours !!
Hope the twat got a good case of cat aids. ;)
 
I get where you are coming from and I don't mean to seem like a dick when I ask this, but what were you expecting when you bought tickets in the lower tier at Wembley?

errr i think he expected to see the match?! I'm sick of the attitude that the people who may find it hard to stand for 90 minutes or pregnant women should sit in the gods on the top tier (who by the way stood for the bloody 2011 final)
I know behind the goal is expected to stand, i don't know if this is where the man was sat, but the dearest seats on level one down the side of the pitch has been sat down in the past, but no not this time - everyone from row 6 back wanted to sit, they had rows with the twats in the front rows, but they wouldn't budge so everyone had to stand. I'm all for standing when we're attacking that end, but the whole match was visibly too much for many around me to take, i could see it in their faces, and when they pretty much collapsed down into their seats whenever the ball went out of play.

(i am delighted we won btw, don't mean to sound a meany!!!)

I don't think you're being narky at all mate. I would have swapped if someone asked me. All he had to say was no. Fuck off is just ignorant.
Anyway, quit fucking whining you old ****.

But if we've been to wembley 6(?) times and every time we've been everybody in tier 1 stands up, it's not rude for me to ask if he was going to expect it any different. I'm not suggesting he should go up in the god or anything like that but he might have taken it into consideration that everybody stands and founds a more suitable position, like on the front row or on a row where there will be no obstructions

We've been 8 times. And for all 8 i've been in level one, 7 of which down the side of the pitch. 2 the whole block i was in stayed sat down, the 2 FA cup finals everyone was up the whole match, and semi's people were half and half - depended which bit you were stuck in. For the league cup final 2 years ago people in the front 5 rows stood, rows 6 to 8 got stuck in limbo land cos everyone behind stayed sat down (again i'm on about the side of the pitch here, and yes it varies block by block anyway), and this time my block got made to stand (103), yet across the aisle was sat down, and on the opposite side of the pitch were sat down (at least for the first half anyway). It's not a straightforward "we've been to wembley enough times to know that on the lower tier everyone stands" - they don't (not for the half city attack the other end of the pitch anyway..)
 
Sit down. Stand up when excited. Simple.
had the same problem myself as i have a joint condition which means standing up for small periods fucking wrecks me. Luckily most of the time i was either in the gods, at the back or everyone sat down.
Would be hilarious if the prick was one of the thousands who cannot go 2 fucking hours without a drink/smoke/snort. If you are lucky enouh to go, dont fucking spend all your time in the concourse! Bellends. Rant over :-)

Very bad form from that blue reacting like that, could have said no I don't want to, no need to react like a thug. Like most blues I'd have swapped, what's the big deal, we're all blues together, I don't think your lad twatting him is good advice though, why should he have his day ruined by probably being ejected from the ground. Don't let it put you off going to Wembley again though, you were just unfortunate that you happened to ask a twat.

Sorry to hear that Oakie. Most Blues will help each other out but we do have a few numpties in our fan base!
 
Completely agree and to be honest I'm not sure if I can put up with the Wembley experience anymore.

I had some Supporters Club occupying the complete 4 rows in front of me in 517. Everyone of them was pissed and fighting broke out amongst themselves after only 5 minutes.

At half time the crowd numbers on the concourse behind 519-520 were Hillsborough like and utterly dangerous. This being caused by selfish twats completely blocking the toilets just so they could smoke, subsequently causing large numbers of the City support to miss our goal as they tried in vain to access the toilets.

One of the drunks in front of me, when he eventually returned, spent his 1st 5 minutes recounting how his drink was one of hundreds of pints of beer being tossed around with scant regard for who they hit.

I also had some spotty face urchin try to grab my phone at H/T. I was lucky he couldn't get away in the crowd before I wrestled it back from him. He was lucky I couldn't get my arms moving properly or else he'd still be unconscious!

I just don't get why people are obsessed with alcohol to the point where they are that drunk they don't get to see or have no recollection of what happened anyway.

With regard to standing in Level 1 it's the same every visit. Even though we had an 83 year old man amongst our group we decided to opt for Level 5, just to ensure he didn't have to spend the whole event stood up.

I think I'll leave it to the next generation now to be honest as 8 visits in 5 years has eroded the novelty and it is clear that issues like those above have now become the normality.

It can be luck of the draw who you're around, I've done all the 'new' Wembley games some up top and some down below, I was happy pissed at the raggy semi and ended up falling about 6 rows in the 500's as I overbalanced shouting ( I put this down to the lack of seat support from the row in front.... Rather than leaning against backs of seats in 117 at home).

If you discount that as unfortunate ( it was for me ....hurt like fuck), the only other issue I've seen was some knob offering everyone out after the Wigan game as he thought we should all stay and give applause to Dave's broken leg.

Oh report and the supporters club they should be brought to account.

The main reason I decided not to go, to be honest, Oakie. I've been to the old Wembley, twice, & seen bugger all each time. Get plonked in the wrong place, or in front of some unfeasably tall people, and you're totally f*cked... Ask em if they wouldn't mind exchanging... Or, God forbid, to sit down on their seats, and you get absolute dogs abuse.

Still look on the the bright side mate. At least you didn't have to watch the (unbiased) tv coverage... Kelly Dalgish, David James, et al.... Even Stuart Pearce (Looking more & more like Slur Alex with every passing day) was doing his very best to emulate Nial Quinn's, anti City, rants. (albeit with a cockney accent)

Stuart's defineately after a job with sky, with all the other City haters, if I'm any judge
