City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[BlueMoonz1977]

Doing one! They are supposed to be City fans, no excuses just stay and support the team, never used to happen in the Kippax

Totally agree i wouldnt leave early unless it was totally warranted. I noticed alot leaving at around the 80min mark yesterday, my lad asked are we going, to which i replied no not at all we stay and support the team till the final whistle. you pay for the 90mins so why not just stay is my opinion.

You totally missed the points I made as to why they do. " Never used to happen in the kippax!" As I said people and in particular football fans have changed massively since those days. Also it DID happen in the kippax it just wasn't as noticeable when it was standing.

The demographics of a football fan has changed immeasurably in the last thirty years. The more they treat fans like customers, create artificial " Match day experiences" clamp down on people standing, swearing and having a laugh you will see this more and more. Years ago football was the main event of people's week. Now it appears it is just one of many things they have to fit in. Modern technology has also changed the mindset of the human being too. Their boredom threshold and patience has lowered. Everything has to be instant and now and holding their interest in anything for long is difficult.

A game that is all but over with the team just passing it around conserving energy to many of them will be a non event, over and let's move onto something else so they do.

The passing it around and pissing about annoys me as well but I stay to watch it just in case the dozy buggers (including the coaching staff) remembers we won the league on GD in 2012 and qualified in 4th place last season by the same criteria.
At the moment the Dippers, Spuds and Chavs have better differences. The Arse are level but they have a chance to develop a better GD as they have two games in hand.
We need a couple of big wins and the next home game would be a nice place to start.

I just cant get my head round why people get a ticket then dont go then about 40 % who do turn up dont stay till the end .a few might have left the kippax early but not the 10s of thousands that now leave early

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.

Did you stop watching the national before they jumped the last fence :-)

Nope!
I’ve got no interest in Horse Racing.
However, when everyone around me, are either checking the Liverpool score, talking about what they did last night, or singing about SWP and Benjani, then it suggests that even those staying till the end, aren’t really watching the game.

Same here. Sends bad message to the players when fans start walking out. Game is not over. I've left on odd occasion and was tempted yesterday as there was a limited train timetable
