City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[Harvster]

I wonder if the early leavers are early leavers in other walks of life too. Arsenal have a lot too.

Interesting point Spidermoggy, people might come on here and clear off before they've even finished th

Queuing AND traffic

Do you think I want to stand in queue of 70 people at HT when I could go 6 minutes earlier and walk straight to the front?

If i’m not having a drink why would I want to queue to get down a set of stairs to sit in traffic and get home late when I can leave 5 mins early and be in my house 30-45 mins before if I stayed for the final whistle.

I leave away games early to beat the rush for the car/train

It’s really not a big deal

I do prefer everyone else staying in though makes me leaving early all the much easier

I know you couldnt give a toss but it would appear Pep thinks its a big deal.

Got to say I can understand it more when we are 5-1 up if you have somewhere to get to than 1-1 for example. Don’t do it myself and I have 240 miles to go. But each to their own

The club should put a sensor on the gate. Anyone leaving earlier than 5 mins before the game finishes gets deducted loyalty points. If its from supporters club allocation, they get less tickets next time

Pathetic (if serious)

People arriving late and those moving to and from the bars 15 minutes either side of half time are a bigger pain in the arse than anyone drifting home early when the score is 6-1.

I leave on 86 minutes every game and drive like a lunatic to get back to Lincolnshire for 7.30pm as other commitments call. If I don't leave when I do my travel time increases exponentially. I don't centre my day around beer and can guarantee that the 86 minutes I sit clapping and cheering our team is probably 15 minutes more than half of those who stay until the end but spend most of the game drinking beer or smoking in the bogs, but somehow assume this match routine makes them better fans.

This all day long

To be honest I think the further you have to go the less likely you are to leave early, if it takes 4 1/2 hours to get home instead of 4 it's no big deal. When I go it seems to be the regulars who I presume live locally that leave early makes it worse because they have to do all their goodbyes as they leave.

Fair point and probably right. But nothing more depressing than not getting to Preston until 2 hours after the game finished and still having best part of 3 hours to go!

Ouch. We went back into town, grabbed a bit of nosh then left Water Street (quite central) at 6.20pm was back in Edinburgh Blackhall house at 10.20pm.

How do you manage to get to Water street so quick ?
Edit forget that I was thinking 4.00 kick off.

That Sané goal at the end yesterday was our 100th goal after 85 minutes in a game in all competitions since “Agüerooooo”/93:20.

There are people who leave religiously on 85 minutes every single game.

They’ve missed a century of goals in six years!
