Fans leaving early.

Only time it bothers me is if I spend the last 10 minutes standing up/sitting down to let early leavers past instead of watching the game. Other than that I dont really care what people do.
 
The first 5 or so pages of this thread will be anti early leavers and the next 25 or so will be early leavers strongly defending their right to leave early.
 
I sit in the family stand and it's worse in that stand this season.

I'm with those who want to want to enjoy every minute of this fantastic team's performances .

I suspect more are leave because the result is never in doubt by the end.

This has probably been covered before but it has now got to a point where I think it's getting embarrassing. When the whistle blew yesterday, I looked around the stadium and I bet there was probably less than 30 000 still inside. I find it disrespectful to the players when applauding them off, they look into the stands and see that many can't be bothered to stay till the end. I can accept some leaving, but when it's near half empty, there is no excuse.
This is the best and most exciting football we have seen since the Mercer Alison era, so why thousands decide to leave with upto10 mins to go is beyond me. In the 9 goal thriller v Arsenal, 3 goals were scored in the last 5 minutes , yet many had already left the scene.

It never used to be like this, and I remember when we got thrashed 5-1(I think) at Maine road v Arsenal where most stayed till the end chanting "We're gonna win 5-4!." We have seen some awful football in the past where leaving early could be excused for. but I cannot understand why so many choose to leave early nowadays...

In all my years of watching City I have left early twice to my recollection...1 Leeds away early 90's as we were 4-0 down (4 of us got beat up outside going under the motorway). 2 wembley v Gillingham 2-0 down so left at 90 mins had to leg it back in for extra time & pens....moral = LESSON LEARNT..

I've left twice. Once v Blackburn when Distin gve away the pen for pushin' Dickov - the match Dickov was cheered and finally booed(!), and I missed a goal v The Dippers. Not the Musampa goal but another one. Might have been Fowler for us - just on the spiral when the cheer went up. I make up for past sins by staying to applaud the players off, (least yer can do with these players) AND watching the highlights on the big screen. As Monkeyspanker says, lesson learnt and even learned!
