Did you leave early?

[Stuka]

I was out with friends in New Cross, I stopped looking at my phone when we were 2 goals down. Does that count as 'leaving early'? In a modern way I think it does, and I apologise for my fickle support.

[Allyh84]

I didn't leave early but I was moaning for the entire match.

We don't need your sort thank you very much.

[rob the royal]

Can we also get rid of all the fans who only woke up and starting supporting the team after 80 minutes?

Then we'll have a home attendance in the region of zero next game.

Obviously coming from someone who left early...

[Maguire]

Yeah the North Stand sang you don't know what you're doing at McDermott when he brought ALF on. Seriously, you people are absolute dickheads. Bet you didn't boo the three points.

Also "oxf*rd of back to Russia you useless PCUNT" was priceless.

Yeah alright don't tell everyone.

I wasn't feeling great so I thought I'd nip off early seeing as I wasn't going to miss anything... oops.

[RobRoyale]

Sometimes I stay until the whistle because I want to.
Sometimes I leave early because oxf*rd you.

[Born 'n Bred Royal]

Whoever sings these idiotic things are probably the very same people who left early. Makes me sick that people would sing stuff like that - especially considering the quality of opposition we were up against and that we always look far better when ALF is brought on.

[windermere_royal]

i think the booing was much more to do with jem coming off TBF. i think the idiots wanted POG replaced, just goes to show hat they know.

[MeMeMe]

There is an old guy who sits near us in the East stand, he always leaves early and we have nicknamed him 'Mr Livearly'.... yesterday he left after 80 mins saying "see you in the Championship"..... priceless !!

I must be very lucky where I sit as you don't really hear people slagging the players off too much. They are generally quite a good spirited bunch around us. But I agree it absolutely can ruin the game if you are near these total dickheads. Certainly ruined Spurs away for us.

If football is that painful for them, then why the hell do they go?! Or is it bravado & trying to look 'hard' in front of their mates? Cannot understand it.

and they probably rape babies as well

The trouble is that they block my view by standing on the stairs. If you want to go early then go early, not gain a better view than those very happy to stay to the end. There was a whole family that left just before Kebe scored and came scurrying back when they heard the cheer They were really barrated by the loyal fans sat around them

Exactly! All these people saying "it doesn't effect you if somebody chooses to leave early" seem to ignore that, it's even worse if they block your view twice by coming back in.
I bet those same people blocking my view would moan if I stood in front of them all match.

If people actually move at a normal pace it's not so bad.

[Ian Royal]

So you'll agree that everyone has their own quite valid reasons for their actions then?

Yes, I'm sure they do. Doesn't mean I'd understand them though. But well done on your complete failure to make a good point.

I'm struggling with this. What is your need to understand why people leave early? except that they have their own particular reasons, which really aren't your concern - unless (in my case) you're interested in my domestic situation? Listen I could use a baby sitter.

ftr I understand why you don't even go, you have a low paying job and can't be arsed. Fair enough.

I never said I did need to understand. I said I didn't, that's it. You're really failing with this points scoring attempt.

[Kitsondinho]

My stream went a bit dodgy after the second goal, so I just kept Reading Player on and listened to it. As soon as I heard leaves goal, stream back on. In my six years as a STH before moving up to Manc, I might have left early at Bristol Rovers - school night and horrible score - but otherwise I can't recall going before 90 minutes, though I may have gone a few times during extra time when we've been losing by 2+ goals.

Hahahahaha!!! If you mean the Bristol Rovers 0-6 game, you must have gone to private school as it was on a Saturday!!

For the first time I was in the south. Big mistake. Full of yummies and jnr hoorays. Ignorant, inane and braying chatter. Up and down to the loo. Up and down to the food. Leaving early in droves. Stopping mid-exit to watch, so blocking everyone behind them.

If people need to leave early then make like the cringing embarrassment you are; duck low, move fast and get the xxxx out of sight.

Do not venture into the south stand people. It's how I imagine a matinee for Les Mis might be.

[Gunny Fishcake]

What a load of bollox , this isn't North Korea , if people pay money to go and watch the game they do exactly what they like when they like , it's a free world . At least they've gone to the game in the first place unlike all the many other " so called " fans who rearely if ever go to a game then rant and rave from the comfort of their sofas .

[Focher]

Having seen the large number of "fans" who decided after 80 minutes it was time to leave and stop supporting the team, could I just say "don't bother coming back"!

We really need supporters who follow the team through thick and thin and not people who need to get out of the car park or an early place in the bus queue. Over the years matches like this stick in the memory. If you can't be bothered to stay and support...F u c k right off!

[Gav]

Can we have some hating on the late arrivers please? I'm nearly always five minutes late into my seat at both kick off and half time (not by design, mind), so despite staying til the bitter end I miss ten minutes of action too, and I feel the early leavers are getting all the attention
