City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

7 and a half years and nearly 5,000 posts.

The Mystic Meg in me is thinking there’s probably never going to be agreement reached on this topic.

Everyone to their own , but i stop unitl the end and wait for the players to applaud and show their appreciation to the crowd and i return that applause with a few fist pumps a la Klipperty thrown in , other fans want to beat the traffic or queues with the achievement of getting home a little earlier.
But my memories will be of Haaland and Co. showing their gratitude even thought the stadium is 90% empty , if i get home half an hour later , so f*cking what ,and no i am not a bigger blue then the early leavers.

You are mate. If you're missing 10, 20 or more minutes every single game it's poor. No sugar-coating it.

If it's the last game of the season and the leagues still in the balance late on nobody would leave early. It doesn't seem to matter to people that the preceding games required to take it to that last game were equally as important.
 
I’ve left before the end twice, once in the 60s v Leeds at Maine Rd, score was 0-0 as my friend and I got out of the ground a huge roar went up and we ran back in god knows why as there weren’t any big screens then Colin Bell had just scored the winner, the other times was at the Etihad a few years ago v Forest in the FA Cup we were absolutely dire, think I left on 70minutes.
 
The evacuation yesterday was once again a testament to how truly spoiled we are, some possibly the same people who moan about price rises for a world class product which is the envy of the rest of the football world. Haaland, Dias ended up applauding 150 or so blues next to 3k Luton still shouting their managers name, it was a pathetic spectacle and now the norm.

In a fucking nutshell.

Sometimes you can go 3 / 4 weeks without a home game yet some are desperate to get out early.

I'll never understand it, pay a fucking fortune to watch the best team in our history and leave early.

Fucking weird!

It's currently a close run thing whether people are more bothered about the title race or some people deciding to bugger off before the game ends.

Can’t even blame it on tourists. At the derby a few weeks ago some bloke next to me who was from the Greater Manchester area, extremely vociferous then fucked off with about ten minutes to go. Last seasons 6-3 was embarrassing, when the rags got their consolation goals the place was half empty. Wonder what the players and Pep think.

Genuinely odd.

If these guys are scientists getting home early so they can do 20 mins extra in the lab to find a cure for Alzheimer's, they get a pass.

If not, what the hell are you doing with that extra 20 mins?
 
I'm usually there to the end. sometimes sneaking out a minute before to avoid the crush for a late train back to Preston. Don't get the 80 min part timers, but there's a reason for a lot of it. Shite publis transport back to town.
I'm 68 and like walking but for how much longer, in the p.ssing rain I don't know.
ps.
If someone can tell me how to get these italics off, i'd be grateful
 
Most clubs have fans that leave early.
Today at Arsenal was worse then the Etihad. If the home team is comfortably winning its always gonna happen. The streets around Maine Road were crazy busy ten mins before the final whistle.
For the record I've never left early since Wembley 1999. CTID

When you open a reply, you'll see a bar at the top, starting with B (bold). Touch the I (italics) and you should lose them - you probably touched it by accident.... easy done, says a fellow 68 year old!!
 
Pretty poor that on a great day for City many of the usual posters decide to criticise match going blues for leaving early.

It’s none of their business why others leave early. Maybe they have important matters to attend to or maybe they just have happy lives at home which judging by the neediness, spite and delusion in their posts many of the moaners probably don’t have.
 
I don’t give a fuck if people leave early but it does amuse me when we score a goal or two in the last ten minutes and they miss it. Imagine paying £60 for a ticket and totally missing the best parts of the game.
