W. People must go to a different game to me or watch it on the telly because for a game we totally controlled we hardly stopped singing. Granted if people were near the Leeds buggers they were bloody loud I'll give them that. That's because their end was jam packed with lads, old heads and young. They have nothing except defiance as they fight the drop. We've been there.

Those near the away fans sang but as has become the norm now they sang the songs that don’t spread. It was just a muffled noise to the rest of the stadium. That new song was sung about 50 times but nobody else knows the words because you can’t hear them.

It’s mainly season ticket holders who are leaving early out of habit. It doesn’t happen really in the champions league when season ticket holders don’t attend

That’s a bit of a sweeping statement.
As I 49 years season ticket holder, and I sit with a least 10 other friends who have also served similar length of time, I think I left once early in all that time. And a relative had died. That was at least 20 years ago.

Similar to the copenhagen fans last year who sang even when they were 6-0 down

They had a capo (not watching game) and a drummer (albeit the drummer was pretty good - rather than a monotonous skin bashing).
They also had a good line in bouncing up and down in time.

There were some going around the 75 minute mark. I think the Leeds fans spotted them and started singing 'your support is fucking shit'. In any game I think it's poor but given the context of where we are in the season it almost feels like a complacency and entitlement. You're probably watching the greatest team you'll ever see in your life in potentially its greatest ever season. There's thousands of fans being priced out of going and witnessing this and you're that indifferent about seeing the lads secure the 3 points you'd rather head home.

Let's be honest, Leeds didn't pose any real threat going forward but I don't believe it would have made a shite of difference and they'd have left anyway. I think we are too hard on ourselves with regards to atmosphere but the early leaver syndrome is harder to defend.

And on top of that we get the half time early leavers who yesterday were starting to go for their half time pint after 36 minutes near me.If they are the same ones who leave early they must miss around 30 mins each game !

They are always doing that, some don't even make 30 minutes. Then there's those late to their seat for kick off and the start of the second half (some coming back almost at the hour mark).

The above would be difficult to change but those that leave early every game should maybe be the ones that get penalised with season ticket rises and everybody else's frozen. If they're happy missing at least 10 percent of every single game then their season ticket goes up by that much until they either change their behaviour and stop doing it or realise it's no longer worth it and surrender it to somebody that would appreciate it more.

Easy to solve

allow alcohol to be drank in the stands

Leeds outsang us for pretty much the whole 90 mins, other than right after our goals :( Honestly, we have to be better than this, considering what the players are fighting for. Our players are handicapped not just by the officials at times, but also by our home support in games like this. Our support is honestly shite. It’s all well and good singing against Arsenal, but tbh they don’t really need us in those games. They need us on days like today.

They didn't at all. I was in 110 opposite them and we definitely out sung them. Where were you?

Agree with that part but we all know it won't happen.

Mate says it happens at places like Twickenham too. Apparently they've introduced a self-service type bar down there this year on level one to speed things up and see how it goes.

Even if the bar staff became more efficient and service was quick I still think people would go for their pint at 30 minutes as its become routine. As has the exodus on 80 minutes.

The bars need to be larger, or even have contempt staff behind serving people.

They could do what they have in the Arena, and other major music venues and have pop up stands for people to get food and drink.
