City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[Worksop Blue]

Left early for the first time in many years, missing the Fulham goal, so my lad could catch a bus from Meadowhall back to University (east coast mainline closed). Because some twat thought it would be a great idea to shut the M67 this weekend we still didn’t make it back in time so I had to chase down the bus (Managed to overtake it on the M1 !! and he got on in Nottingham) Finally Got home about 9pm. Travelling between Sheffield and Manchester is the worst it’s been in over 40 years. Two major City’s connected by a shite rail network and a couple of country lanes. Hey Ho, still better than doing that god awful trip in the 80’s and 90’s to watch us lose to Stockport etc.

They should have a raffle at end straight after final whistle
Draw the seat number. If your not in seat you don’t win
£1000, players signed shirt, match worn shirt

It would get embarrassing after nobody had claimed the first 1,000 numbers drawn as they'd all fucked off.

Left my seat at 93 mins half way up SS3, (home for 19.45 due to animals supposedly on the M6 and masses going to watch fireworks at Blackpool clogging up the M55) there were that many going early I knew I'd still be on the steps on the whistle, had time to clap Haaland while waiting.

This is why our support is so poor.

I went to the loo at half time and a great chant was going on. Odd because there’d been no support during the first half!

Concourse singing = the most pointless shit in football.

Concourse singing = the most pointless shit in football.

It's basically just to try and get something for a video on twitter.

So yeah, the most pointless shit in football.

They don't give a fuck about us. The end.

Who ?

Spent the last 5 minutes and injury time letting people out and not being able to see.Some of them the same ones that arrived late ,went for half time early then came back for the second half late getting in everyone else's way. They can do what they want but they’re annoying bastards. They must miss at least 10/15 minutes of every game.

Fans that treat football matches and supporting the club as a form of "social gathering" or "chit chat" are annoying.

Don't come to the football if you're just treating it as a "day out" while stuffing your gob on the concourse, go somehwere else like the cinema so that spare ticket goes to someone who actually cares about the football.

This phenomenon seems to be mostly common in this country, match-day goers who attend out of habit or routine rather than for the reason of actually watching football.

You the fan police?

This thread needs locking - going up & down & round and round in circles. To sum up, we get full stadium but many fans arrive late, leave their seats before half time for a drink; return late & then leave early for another drink or to catch their team home
zzzzzzzzzz


Forgot to say - majority stay in their seats & chat to their mates they’ve been sitting with since the Kippax days but hey ho. Let’s not talk about them

It might annoy you but it’s not going to change the fact that for a lot of people going to the football 20 odd times + is their entire social life for the year.

Meet mates, have a beer, have a catch up and a laugh and then back to their mundane lives for two weeks.

The football is the excuse, not the whole purpose of the day.

And this thread can reach 20,000 posts of people not understanding it or telling them to do something else instead. But it won’t change anything.

In a few weeks, about 20 of us are doing a 3,000 mile round trip to Portugal for a football game. And I can absolutely guarantee that half a dozen won’t make it anywhere near the ground. It makes no sense. But it’ll still happen. And no amount of moaning on bluemoon is going to stop it. So you may aswell just accept that everyone is different and don’t all see things the same way.
