City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[MarsLlama]

Because Manu Garcia in the EFL Cup. Because Kolarov against Bournemouth away. Because Kevin De Bruyne against Sevilla. Because Iheanacho. Because Dickov. Because Aguero.

Because, whether the game is already lost or won, sometimes it's just too good to risk missing it.

Staying until after the final whistle is the fastest way out of the stadium, there's hardly anyone about.

Haha so funny and your so right..

I just move seats when the board goes up so i'm nearer the exit, stay till the end, applaud the players without being stuck trying to get out from midway in CBL3.

Simples.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I leave about one game a season early on average. I think that's within the bounds of tolerance.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Aguero 93rd minute, need I say more

It was the 94th minute.

 

[schfc6]

Never understood why people go and leave early.
Maybe those with kids in the week.
But fans were leaving early Sunday, anything could have happened, why go to miss the conclusion.

I always stay till the end!

 

[Mike N]

Looks like Pep is even a bit bewildered by it

He's got every right to. It's absolutely bizzare.

 

[Bozo]

Facebook has just reminded me I was at the 1-0 win over Reading 4 years ago today, Barry scoring in the 92nd minute. Stay to the end!

 

[bluemc]

Wembley 99.

Aguero 2012.

And mainly because I'm going to watch a game of football, not 8/9ths of a game of football. If I left ten minutes early every home game, I'm missing two games a season!

Yes it can be a ball ache getting away and home, especially midweek. But I accept that's part of committing to go to a game. Same as if I went to a show, theatre etc.

In my own feeble way I trying to show how much I love this club and my support for the players, even Navas who frustrates the fuck out of me.



Well why do you

Because as a kid my Dad used to make us leave on 85 minutes every game no matter what just out of pure habit (no real reason) and i hated it. I wanted to stay and watch the end of the game (Dads who make your kids do the same, think on...) so i now stay 'til the end no matter what to give my full support to the players.

Imagine if the players started walking off the pitch with five minutes to go like half the fans do just so they can beat the traffic, i bet you'd all have something to fucking say then! Well what's the difference between them and the fans doing it? This club is not just the players, they are just part of it, the fans are 50% of the club and should show a togetherness as one with the club and the players at the games.

Leaving early shows we are not together, we are fragmented between those who want to be fully part of the club and those who want to get home in time for Strictly Come Dancing.

 

[meeesh]

I was up and gone when Skrtel scored Liverpool's 4th,last season,as did 30,000 others and you are a lying twat if you think you stayed that game

 

[Dogtanian]

I stay to the end to avoid the rush to leave

As long as it's not at halftime!

Is your Xmas rendezvous with Russ still happening?

I'd forgotten about that. I've been a little poorly this week which has fucked up my plans a bit. I'll give him a bell later.

I stay till they've shown the highlights. and I want to see Mangala score a hat trick!

OK mate. Get well soon m.

Anyway, I've left one game early at the Etihad vs Watford in midweek. Needed a lift due to a dodgy knee and ankle.

I left one game early at Maine Road when that c@nt Franny Lee came on the pitch at half time like the Messiah. Me and some mates got a few pints in at the Kippa bar and stayed there for the second half.

Sounds a bit fishy to me.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I stay to the end as I sit in a good spot for getting away!

Never stay beyond the whistle though. Off like a robbers dog as soon as that goes.

I was there as were quite a few thousand, this leaving cos were getting beat is utter bollocks, we'd have had no fucker there between the late 80's till early 2000's!!

Sounds like a raggish thing to do, we're supposed to support through thick and thin............

 

[Nelly's Left Foot]

Why wouldn't you stay till the end? I just don't get the leaving early stuff. Move nearer an exit maybe but I just don't get paying to go to watch a football match and not watching all of it. Would you leave before the end of a film or a concert? Just seems crazy but there are so so many nowadays who just don't seem arsed. The same people go to the loo , go for drinks while the game is on and then leave early! Don't know why they bother at all.
