Fans Not Staying To Applaud The Team

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I will be leaving 5 minutes early tomorrow because if I don't leave early I will have to wait an hour and three quarters for another train if I don't get the 10:03 one.

How long does it take you to get to Piccadilly? Match will finish about 9:20.

Early kick off for an evening game tomorrow. Should make staying an extra 15 mins a doddle. :-)

I'm really glad you pointed that out, got a lot going on and had completely failed to register that!

Yeah, you automatically assume it’s 7:45 or 8.

More like 9:35 mate, wife isn't too clever walking these days and we need some wiggle room.
As I said if we miss the 10:03 the next one isn't until 11:29.

Wasn’t having a go, didn't know if you’d factored in the earlier finish time.

Hope things improve for you and your wife. Life’s rubbish at times.

Unless a Derby, Liverpool or big CL game, if we’re 2 or more up on 85 minutes im off, it’s great, saves me 1hr 30 getting home and time to pick up takeaway and be back for late KO on TV or whatever

Great day out

I would say you were a miserable fuck if you left early...each to their own

Wow!

My two teenage boys never leave until the last player leaves the pitch, proud of them for that loyalty and respect. Caused a big problem after the Villa game as the last player was still on the pitch when the stewards told us to leave. My eldest refused, the steward asked me to tell him to leave, I said he never listens to a word I say, so we stayed til the last player went off. Good lads

Ah, but were there still groundsmen tending the pitch? Part-time supporters, if so…

A little detail. When we played the F.A. Cup semi-final against Arsenal at Wembley in 2017, I stayed well beyond the final whistle. I was in no hurry, and was myself dazed by the result and needed to collect my thoughts. The last man off the pitch from either side, by a long way, was Kev. He stood for long moments in the middle of the pitch, staring down at the grass, and I watched him. Nobody else seemed to notice. His mates had all disappeared down the tunnel to get into that bath. He stood there and he was clearly saying to himself, “How the FUCK did we just fuck that up?!” I felt like going out and putting my arm round his shoulder. I should have, in fact, except that some officious steward would have rugby tackled me, I suppose.
Kev has good games and bad ones too (mainly good, it has to be said, sometimes downright unearthly) but I will never hear a word said against him in relation to his connection with the club. His connection with MCFC is a deep one. And it matters not one jot if he one day moves on. He will have earned it, a hundredfold.
