City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[mancitymick]

They don't. I'd love to know what they're all rushing home to.

Steak, Chips, Garlic Mushrooms, Onion Rings, Pepper sauce, Bread n Butter, Beer, wine and some fine brandy

Move the family area upstairs in the other stands and they can leave for whatever excuse/reason that they want.
Today was ridiculous - and it was even the end we were peppering.

Ha. Will let you know once my bone idol wife has finished making it for me:)

Correct. It's a ****** disgrace that stand. Club needs to sort something out because it's right behind the goal and in clear view of tv audience. Just another Empihad gimme for them Vile obsessed C***S!

Well I had a season ticket in there until 2 years ago when the club decided I couldn't sit there anymore because I didn't have any little brats with me. Maybe that's the problem.

I'm in the Family Stand and stayed because I wanted to. Could see people leaving in every other stand as well as Family Stand. Got home, watching re-run and lower tier East Stand is equally empty. Looks like it's not just fans with kids that leave early eh? Not sure what the club can and need to do about it, I'd expect if we were still in with a chance of winning the league it would make a difference. The only solution to keeping backsides on seats would be to give a huge incentive for fans to stay, big discount off seasoncard or something similar. Some would still leave early, including me with kids on night games, but you'd have a better chance of getting fans to stay until the final whistle. Better transport links would also help but that's not something that City can immediately fix.

Most fans don't care about missing an entire game, like Boro away last week when we had a third of the allocation unsold. I would guess the majority of critics on here had their 'excuse' why they didn't go, but it is entirely up to the individual, as is leaving early or staying 10 mins after to watch players warm down.

I saw KoolHand Khaldoon arriving today about an hour early. Anyone know if he left early?

Left as soon as we subbed Jesus. Heard the 5th go in as I walked past Mary D's, not too arsed about that.
Beat the traffic (yes!) and got home with feet up, fire on and settled down with a brew to watch the afternoons games on the firestick.
