Got to the stadium at 2.30 to see the boys leave bit they had all ready left, did anyone else miss them? Thought yhey was going to leave at 2.45?

Here's a resume for all who didn't make it

2.17pm Team emerge
2.18pm to 2.28 James Clark appeals for supporters to get off the road and on to the embankment (few brief words from Gareth Ellis and a chorus of Happy Birthday to Miller in between Clarkys pleading)
2.29 Team bundled onto coach out of sight of 90% of the supporters who were there.
2.30 Coach departs
2.31 Fans disperse, with people still heading towards the stadium expecting a 2.45pm send off

Bit of a shambles, hope FC's organisation for the actual match is a bit better

fair enough they left early but what was you expecting?
today was to wave the players off not meet and greet them

I wasn't expecting to meet and greet them.

I expected a bit better stewarding and a few barriers to stop the ones who were treating it as a meet and greet.

Was a great send off, 100s there clapping and chanting.

Anyone got any photos?

Cheers chaps

look out for calendar tonight as they were there, didn't see anybody from look north

Look North might have missed it. There were a couple of guys with cameras and microphones rushing round towards the shop at 2.30 when I left, presumably anticipating a 2.45 departure.
