You make a good point dam, I suppose as long as I'm there to clap vinny off that's all I'm bothered about . It's them that are missing out though.Damocles said:

The few fans shown 'leaving early' were dashing out after the last 'title clinching' goal at the end of extra time and are likely to have been running out for a piss because they'd held off for the last 50 minutes so as not to miss a moment.
I was in the CB L2 and it was more of a full house at the end than is ever the case in a normal league fixture because those that might usually leave just before the end, to get to cars etc., stayed on to cheer the lads regardless of the result.
I think that some on here try to judge others by their own poor emotional standards - glad it isn't typical of the vast majority of true blues.

My 14 year old was crying his eyes out at 2-1 and begging for us to leave, I spent most of the time before we equalised sat in my seat wondering how I was going to cope with him, with City getting so close and fluffing it, I was proper upset myself but he was in bits, inconsolable.
We stayed put and we don't mention him wanting to go now, I don't think it needs bringing up, we still watch the goal every single day, it's like a drug that never wears off, I've never experienced anything like it, lots of people are sick of me gushing about that moment, I've got goosebumps now fucking TYPING about it, it's absolutely mental, the whole thing, I'm so proud of our club and of our fans and I don't give a fuck about sounding like a fanny. C.T.I.D.

The title win was another of those truly great moments in our 118 year old history .... moments that , in truth , you could probably count on the fingers of two hands .
I've been going since 1969 , and there have undoubtedly been some great feelings over that time ........ especially after the notable 4-1 , 5-1 , and 6-1 derby wins .... the 1981 Villa Park triumph over Ipswich ..... Newcastle at Wembley in 76 ..... the Gillingham play off win ..... even Maine Road cup wins over Middlesborough (LC) and Everton (FAC)
but that title win in May was , for me , THE greatest feeling of the lot ...... the sheer emotion of that day will live with me forever , as will the sheer pride i felt in a team that just didn't give up.
All i saw from the moment Agueros winner went in , until the early hour of Monday morning when i finally retired , shattered , to bed , was jubilant City fans absolutely everywhere .... in pubs , in cars , on the streets .... it was just brilliant!

Same with my daughter mate. She was crying, deep down I couldnt cope. I walked up to the concourse for a quiet moment alone to confronted by several also wanting to be alone. I walked back in on 80 mins. then prayed. Kept thinking we need three things. 5 mins and two goals Gillingham,,,,,,,,,,yessssssssssssssssssssss

At the Sunderland game at 3-1 down around the 75 mins mark I took an unprecedented *** break on the stairwells to feed my habit and to get a break from the despair surrounding me. Got chatting to a Blue I had never met before whilst watching scores of folk leaving the stadium. We both agreed 'that you never know' and returned to our respective seats to 'take our punishment' for the remaining 10 mins or so. Hey presto a precious point was salvaged, and being superstitious, a precedent was set.
The QPR game found me taking the the extra beta blocker I had brought with me after the 2nd QPR goal but around the 75 mins mark again I found myself unable to take the tension and much to my shame left my lad, with his head in his hands and took off for the stairwells once more. Saw a number of folk leaving via the perimeter fence gates and was both saddened and consumed with guilt to see so many Blues waiting patiently (presumably for an unlikely lap of honour) outside the fence who would probably have given anything to swap places, even at that time with folk leaving or ME. Got my arse into gear and returned to take the punishment once more.
In truth though I never lost faith .................... until Balo had that header saved c88 mins, I think. Then redemption and the rest as they say is history.
If folk want to leave early that is simply their choice as we all handle things (or don't) differently. On a personal level the only one I don't understand is where folk would leave a game that is in the balance just to get an early bus home.
ps only left stadium early once iirc v Forest in the cup at 3-0, but did contemplate doing likewise at half time v rags in the cup this year as found that almost too tough to handle at the time. If that makes me a lesser fan than others, then so be it.

I'll hold my hands up, I was on my way down the spiral pissed and teary eyed but my dad caught me (he spent the whole second half on there smoking ha) and stopped me 'you can't leave son' so I turned round and sat back in the concourse with my head in my hands. Just couldn't bare the thought of being there when the final whistle went and we'd fucked it up. First thing I did when Aguero scored was run straight to my dad for a hug and probably the most beautiful father/son moment I'll ever experience.
