City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

It’s fair to say Pep and the players got the support they asked for.

Which is exactly that, priorities not laziness as you first said. If leaving 5-10 minutes earlier gets people home to their families anything up to an hour earlier than staying then no problem. People wanting to be home earlier to get to bed for work the next day, even some might want to be home earlier to watch highlights who knows. The people leave to save themselves time as they might have a life outside of football.

Why not go after ten minutes then?

I live same distance away as my mate. He leaves early but parks near the stadium as he can't be arsed walking. I wait till after the end and walk to my car. I am home quicker. He is lazy. He even admits he is willing to miss the end rather than walk. He is not on his own.

I know this is a Man City thread but early leavers are by no means confined to yourselves.

On Saturday at the cesspit, Burnley had equalised. On 80 mins thousands were streaming out at 2-2. I get that people have things to do places to go but it was an exodus. 4-0 down or up, do as you please. You know the result. But at 2-2 ? Just don't bother going. Worried about the tube queue or traffic? Have a pint (or soft drink) somewhere ffs

I love the way the fans really get behind the team when we are under a media siege.

Everyone’s circumstances are different but I am sure plenty on Blues went the extra mile to get to the game last night to cheer on the lads.

Absolutely not but it's what everyone is doing and that's my best guess from the little I can see of the situation. Nobody knows for sure...unless secretly they are all sheep.

Or put your hand up and ask teacher if it's OK to go to the loo.

Perhaps they've seen one person get up to go and thought, while everyone is standing up, they'll nip out too.

Anybody over the age of 14 who gets worked up about people leaving a football stadium early needs to have a long, hard look at themselves.

If it was just leaving early that's fine. its a constant flow, arriving late [last arrival 35 minutes late last night] going for an early beer/piss/pie from 35 minutes; returning from said beer/piss/pie at up to 60 minutes, followed by early leavers starting on 70 minutes. Watch the full match again on TV and look at the east stand lower tier, there is a constant rotation from seats, 50% of the ground must have missed the third goal, God knows how many missed the final two.
