Arrived middle of the arvo today
WOW what a weekend, a trip with so many ups and downs, is what being a leeds fan is all about.An awesome night out with a few aussies from my hotel on saturday, followed up the next day, hitting the pubs early on, green man was chockers from about 11am, nicked off elsewhere for better queues.
The singing on the streets, the walk up wembley way, just amazing experience.
Had awesome seats and the atmosphere was something il never ever forget, 50,000 leeds fans singing MOT all at once is something you never forget, shivers up the spine and all that, amazing feeling to be apart of.
Fans were dead queit the 10 minutes following their goal, but apart from that were brilliant, so proud to be leeds
the result, well lets be honest was devistating, the final third was poor, i love prutts but he was all at sea out left, continually cut inside and left johnson isolated.
To be honest i thought johnson was one of our best, considering how isolated he was, he handled it well and was the one of the few to give us something going forward, glad we've signed robinson as width is clearly an issue.
In the last twenty, their was almost a resignation amongst the fans it wasnt going to be our day, still sung their hearts out full credit to em.
The walk back was devistating, yet so proud, at wembley central station, thousands of leeds fans on the platforms singing their hearts out.
Flight then got delayed 5 hours at heathrow meaning i missed my connection, but oh well
Spoke to a bloke on the train afterwards, told me id now been iniated as a leeds fan, to experience a loss in a final (something we've done so many times) first hand is all about being a leeds fan, all about the ups and downs
got some pics and vids, although alot gone due to my SD card being damaged on the way home (fucking hong kong security ), will post later
so proud to hear of how things went down here, full credit to dave
so proud to be leeds. MOT
P.s dave, sorry about dragging that phone call out, must've been costing you a mint..i was peaking

It really was the most amazing afternoon, but all I keep thinking in my head was that walk out of the Stadium past all the Donny fans who were celebrating (but thankfully not being a*holes about it) and down Wembley High Road to get the bus back to my sister's place... I'm just glad I only had a 45-minute trip to mull it over in... would've sucked for it to have been longer.

I was highly disappointed in the way they played. They didn't want it enough. It's almost like they'd already played their final in the 2nd game against Carlisle and didn't want it anymore. The worst image of the day was watching someone.. I can't remember who it was, and was realistically too far away to work it out (2nd back row of Level 5 at Wembley, but man it gives you a good view of the field!) lying on the floor in agony and it took Gary Mac coming over to talk to him after several other players had tried, before he stood up and started moving. That was probably the most depressing point of the day for me.. (or maybe it was the guy standing next to me who was snorting coke for half the freaking game).

Best moment of the day was seeing Gary Kelly as he stood outside the ground waiting to get in. Didn't manage to get close enough to him, he had a crowd of about 200 people all trying to get in and get a photo or say hello, and everyone around was standing chanting, 'There's only one Gary Kelly!'
The other amusing thing was all the guys who kept asking me if I was actually a Leeds fan. No, I'm Australian and I'm wearing a jersey and I'm waiting in the line to pick up members' tickets but I don't actually go for them, just thought I'd pop along to Wembley for the afternoon.

All in all, I'm glad that my sister decided to get pregnant when she did so I was here for the game, lol. And going to Wembley is one of those things that you just don't realise how big it is until you get there..

Here's two videos I took, hope this actually works.. You can't really work out the chanting in the first one, sound on my camera isn't great..

Great videos Liz. Such a disgrace seeing those empty seats up the other end.

Good to hear it was worth it Pat. Can't wait to experience MOT live for myself. Phone call was fine mate, well worth it to hear what was happening over there and to hear a bit of noise in the background.

hey pat, sorry i missed your texts mate, i didnt have my phone with me whilst i was over there. got back very early this morning.

some pics are up on facebook, too gutted to post much tho. fucking leeds...

so only found out today, my dad actually recorded the game on fox..so i put myself through the pain and watched it
Im glad the noise came through on the TV as it was at the ground..so bloody loud, amazing experience having 3/4 of the stadium singing marching on together at the same time..some absoloutely great chants came through loud and clear..especially the your support is fucking shit..haha, even the commentator had a giggle
one thing that stood out from watching the replay, was just how much we struggled with tracking runs from midfield, time after time donny midfielders got to the byline with ease..

anyway, cant believe i watched it..but the support sounded as amazing on tv as it sounded at the ground...would love to experience another day like it in the rest of my life..watching it bought back some fantastic memories, mainly about 10 minutes after we conceded...donny fans taunting us..until a massive chant of SING FOR LEEDS STAND UP..erupted, and then 70% of the stadium were on there feet in defiance and proud to be leeds...fucking love leeds...ON ON ON
