Okay I am not going to add anything new as such but 'fans' leaving early really is a bugbear with me and I have to admit I have had one or two arguments with people - usually mind when I have had a beer or two. I just think too many have it too comfortable these days. Blimey they should have tried standing on the terraces 40 years ago and being unable to see two thirds of the pitch. That was maybe a reason to leave early if you could have squeezed out of the crowd. If it takes a long time to get out of the car park, then find somewhere else to park. Might mean having to walk further but so what. Likewise so it takes 20 mins to walk in to town. No problem - rather do that than stand waiting for a tram. It started in the 82nd minute where I sit on Saturday and to be frank it's embarrassing. Too many are too blase these days hence the shocking turnout for the semi final - a lad near me isn't going to bother going to Wembley for the final (if we get there) because it's only the league cup. Says it all really. Others would rather spend 20mins on the concourse drinking and eating. I got home after Watford at 4 am and after Bristol City 3.30 am - try navigating the motorways at that time of night when junctions are closed and lanes are coned off, then you might realise what traffic problems really are. Sorry, but whilst we may all be blues some of us are more committed than others. Best fans in the world? Not as a whole we're not. Yeah it's your prerogative to go early or not bother attending a semi against a Championship side but christ even when we were crap I stayed to applaud the shirt if nothing else.
