Fans Leaving QPR Early

[Skashion]

Doesn't make me any less of a fan, i'm sure the players would not want to do a lap of honour when they knew they had just bottled the league when it was in their grasp.

You renewed yet?

 

[gingerman123]

its a shame to see them leave early, but every club has these people...although i would venture to say judging by the amount of people staying at the back on citytv, a lot were waiting at the back just in case

this is my story-
ive missed so many goals this season i cant count them if its my turn for the beer i go up 5 min from h-t and we score i go for a piss we score even the guys around me in my block tap me on the shoulder when we need a goal and say take yourself for a drink so at 2-1 down i went for a pee and guess what 'its 2-2' walking to the steps to go back in i stoped and said to myself if i go in we wont do it so i stood by the bogs then it was 3-2,yes im renewing next season but i'l hang around the bar area i think ;-)

niced one mate, thats the fans equivalent of taking one for the team!

OK, I need to get this of my chest.

I LEFT EARLY !

I was in the Citizens Suite for the last game and thought the day I had dreamed of for 40+ years was just a couple of hours away.

I'd been to the Newcastle game and thought that it would be difficult to win up there, and our season could end at that game. I'd down played our chances of winning the league all year, especially to the 3 or 4 rag 'mates' that I had been abused by for 20+ years. This approach suited me, as we all know how many times City have let us down in the past.

I kept telling the rag 'mates' they had the experience and the manager. But, when we beat Newcastle, I couldn't hold back any longer and told them all it was our trophy and there's no way we'll mess up against QPR at home (First mistake). They all begrudgingly agreed, but told me if we do f it up, I better take a long holiday to avoid the stick they'll aim at me.

Well, we all know what happened in the game and at 80+ minutes I left my seat and headed back in to the Citizens lounge, not intending to leave the game, but just to drown my sorrows. Gary Owen was in there and said he couldn't watch it any longer. I didn't know what to do, and to be honest, the end of year 'thank you' wasn't even in my mind. All I could think of was the empty feeling that was building up inside me, all the journalists that had said we didn't have the mentality to do it, all my rag mates who would be unbearable, the newspapers the next day, the massive media blitz proclaiming United/20, etc. etc. etc.

It was all too much. I left the ground and got in my car. I even turned the radio off, as I was so depressed. I headed towards the Mancunian way and saw 3 or 4 other cars with City supporters and scarfs.

One car in front of me seemed to be going crazy, and then they suddenly pulled over and turned around. I turned on the radio to hear the last minute of the game commentary after we had scored the 3rd goal.

I couldn't believe it, what had happened ? really ?

I turned around and headed back to the ground. But, shit, the police had already stopped traffic at the Asda and I could not head back to the car park. Instead I drove around the back of the Asda and then came out directly opposite the car park entrance. I drove straight in, waving my parking pass, and then back to the Citizen's suite. The staff looked at my a bit weird, but after showing my ticket and wrist band, they let me in. I got back in my seat just as the last people were leaving the pitch.

So yes, I missed the two goals, missed the pitch invasion, but saw the presentation.

I'm embarrassed by my behaviour, but logic seemed far away at the time and I am sure some of you can sympathise with me (I hope).

I promise, I will NEVER, EVER, leave early again !

No need to apologise, you robbed yourself of the finest moment in 44 years. All future titles will never be won in the same way or be ending such a period in the wilderness. So, you have had your punishment in my eye's. I will never forget the moment stood with my boy as Sergio cocked the hammer and blasted the old City into oblivion. Even out shining Dickov's emotional exhibit at Wembley.

Am I helping ? Are you getting the point lol.

Unlucky, remember, CTID not City til they piss me off

I didn't leave early, but if I did i wouldn't be beating myself up about it. Who's business is it but your own?

And anyway, the important thing is that we won it. If I had missed the goal it wouldn't diminish my euphoria that we'd scored it. You have your own memories and if that memory it sitting in the car or hearing the roar from behind you, that's what you'll take to the grave.

When we beat United 6-1 I didnt go and quite a few non-football fans, who know of my commitment, said "I bet you were gutted you weren't there". Not one little bit. Not being there didn't change my delight even by 1%.
