Early Leavers

[BluePurgatory]

I bet the "Tourist's" dont leave early!

I have a bloke sat next to me who arrives atleast 10 mins into the game, goes to get food/beer atleast 5 mins before half time and returns atleast 5 mins late into second half and then leaves atleast 10 mins early! That is 30 out of 90 mins he misses on average which to me is just fucking ridiculous! I don't give a shit that he misses a third of the game tbh but what does piss me off is him ambling down the row blocking everyones view because he's too bloody ignorant to get back to his seat!

Paul at 4:41pm you were posting about the New Testament in the Cellar.

And your point is?

You missed many of the best years in our History.

Youngsters like you and many will never learn.

I just find it ironic when you come on this thread when you do not attend matches and weren't even arsed enough about the game to find a pub to watch it in so instead you lectured on the New Testament in off topic.

A bit ironic?
More like fuckin sacrilege<br /><br />-- Sun Dec 23, 2012 11:52 am --<br /><br />

I left early yesterday for a number of reasons.

1) it was twatting down and I was full if a cold, really didnt even want to go as I felt rough.
2) roads were going to be closed after the game, something to do with the metro link test?
3) we were looking like it was heading for a draw
4) due to the rain, i had parked right near the ground so wanted to get away before the traffic.

Does this make me any less of a blue than others? Does it fuck, it just means when you add everything up, yesterday it made sense for me to leave early. Am I gutted I missed the goal, slightly yes. But as I got home to Worsley within 25 minutes whilst thousands of others were still queuing to get out of the car park, and inwas at home drying out with a lovely warm brew.

is this a reverse-double xmas clarkie ??

We leave after 80 minutes most home games and that will never change until staying to the end does not add 1 hour to our journey - I am simply not prepared to sit in the car park for over half an hour till they open the roads. End Of. If we miss the odd late goal, so be it. We were still there for Aguerooooooooo though!!

eva thought to let a proper fan have that ticket of yours. i would stay to end deffo.

The people that moan about people leaving early piss me off a lot more than the people that leave early. Each to their own. Someone mentioned earlier the old "what kind of impression does it give to the team, we are meant to be the 12th man". Well I'd worry more about the atmosphere in general than people leaving early. Yesterday it was like a library. Oh and as I've said before all these people moaning about people leaving are probably the same people that turn up late for 1st or 2nd half because they are having another beer. What's the difference? Actually we don't get endless threads about latecomers do we???

It depends on why you go to the game and how you see yourself

Are you a customer or a supporter?

If you are a customer, then there maybe good reasons to stay in the concourse or go home early. If you are a supporter, I hesitate to say there are none, but there's certainly an obligation to be there when the odds are worse......the Division 2 effect when City fans showed that we are a special club

An obligation? LOL

I repeat the points from earlier.

Does this then mean you are not a true supporter if you :

• Don’t watch the team get off the coach and clap them on arrival. Pre-match motivation you know.

• Don’t get in your seat early to applaud them in the warm up.

• Don’t get in your seat before kick-off and sing the boys on to the pitch

• Don’t buy your pre-match beer/food etc from official MCFC outlets...FFP and all that

• Don’t wear a full City replica kit for every game.

• Don’t attend games when you have a season ticket. More than usual empy seats today and it’s no excuse that it was only Reading and the saturday before XMAS

• Don’t sing non-stop for the full 90 minutes showing how much you care

• Don’t ever go to an away game and show your support

Does this mean you are not a true supporter if you:

• ever go for a piss during the game

• ever leave your seat early before half-time to save time in the beer/food queue

• ever slag off a City player even though they are trying their best

• ever boo a substitution (and effectively Mancini) as happened the other week

• ever turn your back on the team when the game is in play i.e Poznan


Leaving early is only the same as any of the above. It’s a personal choice and who cares if anyone leaves early.

I said earlier, your comments genuinely reflect the opinions of a certain type of forum poster- usually the angriest ones with the biggest mouths. That's how they define their support of Manchester city: as part of mancini's squad.

It's understandable for kids to feel that way but when it's adults...you have to worry what went wrong in their lives.

paul in unreal more important than real shocker!!!

 

[stonerblue]

I left work early to go and watch in the pub if that counts.

 

[bluestevei]

, make our ground look empty 10 minutes before the end of the game.


to be honest, most games there are empty seats b4 the final whistle, not just city games

 

[mindmyp's_n_q's]

I left early as I would have been late for work if I had not done so. I got called in just before the game and was contemplating not going to the match at all. In the end I thought me in my seat for 85 mins is better than an empty one for 96.
