Avoiding traffic is more important than city

I left today on 88 mins cos i had to be somewhere.. 1st time in many a year iv left before the end..
Iv just checked my seasoncard and it doesn't state an arrival time or a leaving time, have i done something wrong ?

Yes apparently it says on half the seasoncards that you're meant to leave between 80 and 85 minutes so you probably left it too late.

If you need to be somewhere you need to leave on about 75 minutes to avoid the crowds.

So am i still in the gang or not ?
 
I wanted to read the rest of this thread, but had to stop at page 8 because I have somewhere else to be. Hope I don't miss any good comments.

It's not only an insult to me and to fans who share similar grievances (of which there are many). It is also an insult to the players who are still giving 100% on the pitch.

Our players stopped giving 100% about 20 minutes before the end too. I don't particularly like the "fire drill" on 85 minutes, but hey it made my 3 1/2 hour journey home, about 25 minutes quicker tonight, so thanks to all those that left early.
 
I'm sure there's already been the 'People have their reasons' argument, but fuck me, 20,000 people all needing to be somewhere? That's a lot of reasons to explain.

Traffic is bad? If you can walk, park in town.

Trams are busy? Likewise, walk to town.

It takes 20 mins max.

It's like people buying a car but being happy with it having 3 wheels.

All this shit about leaving early to aviod the traffic is just that... shit. More people leave 5 minutes early than stay to the final whistle, so I beat the traffic by actually staying to the end then watching the goals on the big screen after instead.

At full time, I looked to either side of me and there were about 10 empty seats on both sides. There were about 20 seats in a row behind me and 20 seats in a row in front of me. I was literally the only person left in about 60 seats which were full during the match.

It is precisely the thing we used to take the piss out of the Rags for, but now we are probably the worst in the league for leaving early.

The people on the defensive about it are probably the ones who leave early, who insist it's a free country, they pay their money and they can do what they want, blah blah, but it makes us look like unappreciative, fickle arsed supporters who are more interested in watching Ant and Dec than giving up another 10 minutes of their time to watch the end of the match.

I'm not at all surprised Newcastle fans were taking the piss.

Why do people get annoyed what time other people leave?

Congratulations, you stayed in your seat for a full ninety minutes and injury time. People go to the game for entertainment and by the 85th minute, if not earlier, the game had become a monotonous, laborious, event to see out time. Nothing was in doubt and the game was languishing towards the full time whistle. I left at 87 minutes to get a taxi and get home potentially 25 minutes earlier than it takes by walking after the final whilste. I enjoyed that pint I may not have had otherwise.

What happened to supporting the team no matter what? Didn't realise we only stay in the ground if there's something worth waiting for.
