City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

I've noticed an increase in the odd person having a bit of a go at people as they walk out. I don't know whether that is something to encourage or not really but I do wonder if it was a bit more "en masse" with people getting a proper fucking heckling from a lot of people as they walk out then it might make them think twice about it. I think leaving early is a very selfish thing to do on all sorts of levels. Can really ruin the last few minutes trying to watch a match with people walking around everywhere in their droves, very distracting. And then as you say the impact it has on the team and the club's reputation.

I think the heckling thing is probably unfair, because it would mean those with a genuine reason, get shit. But it is a fucking pain in the arse, when you are wound up, hoping the team get a last min winner, & missing parts of the action because some **** wants to get to the car park so he can watch Strictly Come Dancing.

I think making those who choose to fuck off for no good reason, know that they are effectively turning their back on the team, is important, in threads like this. It's become an 'ok' thing to do.
 
I had to drive back to Oxford and stayed until well after the final whistle.
 
Unfortunately it is a habit which will never change in my opinion. It's programmed into their brains. It annoys me and my son as we are having to move or get up as they are wanting to get through.

It's their choice I suppose, We prefer to stay behind and clap the players off to the tunnel no matter what the result, we don't get many staying to do that as there is a mass exodus as soon as the whistle blows.
 
Is getting out of the stadium that much worse than most other grounds? I rarely see stadiums as empty at around 85 minutes than at City. Obviously each to their own when it comes to leaving, but if the situation is that bad that 20-25% of the fans feel a desperation to leave before FT regardless of the circumstances of the game, then the club has to do something urgently. It can't help the team and it looks shit on TV.

I only go to a few home games a year and have always found walking back to the train station absolutely fine after leaving at FT. Leaving any earlier would have a negligible impact on my ability to catch my train. Presumably it's people who drive to the ground who feel the biggest urge to leave?

I get pissed off with those who come late,constantly going for a piss.However if I have to go for a piss midway through the game I wait until the ball is out of play,thus ensuring that fans do not miss any of the match.
 
a couple of things ive heard about this.
would you leave the cinema 10 minutes to go before the end to avoid the car park queues coming out having paid £40 for your family ?
if you were watching on tv would you fuck off and make a brew with 5 minutes to go so you didnt miss the start of the next program?
it really is bizarre behaviour.
i only drive back to salford (on the few occasions i cant get a lift ) and park up near the gas works and walk round from ss3 and takes me 30 mins to get home max no matter what time i leave so people saying it puts an hour on there day are either :
A. talking shit
B. park in ridiculous places

3-0 down i can understand it as everyone is pissed off.
to catch a last train/bus back somewhere...again fully understood.
to get to work etc ...yes again
but to say its to get home earlier...seriously ..what is the point in going?
paid my money do what i want blah blah blah....yeah i know but what is the actual point?

but to leave after an equaliser at 1-1 when you fully well know we are going attack the shit out of them is a fucking disgraceful way to support the team in my opinion
