City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[Eccles Blue]

@sky tot take a plastic blow up 'person' wearing a Manchester City top and jeans and leave it in your place, those TV bods won't be able to tell the difference. After all they can't make out a referee from an opposition player................ because the ref is always playing for the opposition!!

Apologies accepted by this stay until the end, fight until the end fan. :-)

My first game this year due to family commitments. Was amazed at how empty the stadium was in certain areas at 90 min. Tbh am still here 40 min later trying to get on the metro, but..

Maybe the ground would have been a bit fuller had you turned up at one of the 7 previous Home games in 2017. I go to every game at home and plenty away and frankly get sick of getting told about my shortcomings as a fan by those who usually watch on TV

I've a 75 year old dad I watch the match with in the pub whilst I wait for my 4 year old to grow into footy and the season tickets we put deposits down for 3 years ago. The lad has a fear of large crowds atm which we're trying to deal with before he attends a packed stadium. Apologies that my circumstances don't fit you criteria

If they play the last 20 minutes like a testimonial it`s no wonder people leave early.

due to health reason i get to about a dozen home games a season , i was there today but in quite a lot of pain , hope that's OK with you , and i also stayed to the end do i get any bonus points for that?

The result was decided, and the substitutes were trying too hard to impress. The crowd were singing about Benjani and Kevin Horlock, and the Grand National was starting at 5:15.
Don't really see a problem with leaving early.

Let's be honest, it's embarrassing the number of empty seats from around 80 mins onwards. The ground must have been less than half full at full time

I don't usually notice that much but today the last 20 minutes was so boring, tip here, tap there, go backwards, go across the pitch etc. that I was looking around me at L3 and 2 in the South Stand and both levels in the Family Stand and I could not believe my eyes! It was like watching a set of fans who were disgusted with their team because they are losing!! The 3rd tier of the SS in particular, they were just streaming out! For once I managed to get up the stairs of CB quite quickly so they must have also been emptying but I hadn't looked behind me.

As I have said on previous occasions, you pays your money and you makes your choice but boy did I get a surprise today. I'll just have to have a word with the players to keep up the tempo and stop playing around and instead play football. Then I'll be too interested in the football. :-)

Take him into the family stand then. But then again, he might start suffering from agoraphobia by the end!

Haha go on....75 with a 4 year old son.

Assume you've had a typo but sounds like a nightmare ;)

You must have misread it. It says 75 year old DAD.

He thought it was I'm not I've.

Not even had a beer, well one pre match.

Must be getting old myself.

Not acceptable mate. Many of us die hard true blues give up 90 mins most Saturdays to watch a dodgy Asian stream of the game. To see glory hunters like you bailing out before the end disgusts us.
Shame on you ;-)

LOL!

Sacked it on 70mins today. When the weather is like that and town is rammed with minge,who wants to see us pass the game out?

Those lucky ladies must have been enchanted to meet you.

 

[bluemc1]

Yep left on 76 mins today, to be fair that's the earliest I've ever left but 3-0 up, cruised home in no traffic and back in time to watch the National

Simply lovely

I left early had to catch the 5.15 to Glasgow for a night shift.
Due to the northern rail strike think a lot of folk left early to catch the same train.
Never seen a train back up north so busy until Preston.

 

[The Ledge]

Have to admit to leaving at around 89 today for our trip back to Edinburgh. Had a real end of season, summery feel today.
