Fans Not Staying To Applaud The Team

Wrong question.

People explaining their actions on here are only doing so because sad needy online trolls are criticising their actions to make themselves feel better about their own lives.

Your question should be why are the needy wannabe superfans criticising other blues ?

Doesn’t happen in real life.
Who are the needy, wannabe superfans? Sounds like it's a negative to clap players off by your logic...

Making an observation and sharing on a forum is what this place is for. It's certainly not trolling. You're getting very defensive and taking it as criticism so seems to touch a nerve.

Anyway, you do you. I've made my point and don't have anything else to add.
 
I leave dead on the final whistle.
As I’m on the isle seat I’m almost out of the stadium before the stair way fills up, a quick walk back to the car and away. If I hang back to applaud I get stuck in the traffic and it literally puts 20/30 mins on my journey home so it’s rare I bother to stay to applaud cos I want to get home to be honest, more so on a week night.
That's fair enough mate and your decision, it's the same for every club all home fans get stuck in traffic and our away fans don't exactly glide home.
What confuses me is; football fans who attend games with 50000 plus are surprised they on occasions get stuck in traffic.
The best policy is to stay and applaud the team that way you avoid the rush.
 
I just park on Ashton new road on double yellows . Back in Stockport 20 minutes after final whistle . I stayed and applauded for about a minute
Never been done for that?

I noticed that a lot of the parking restriction signs have disappeared in side streets just off the road that heads back into town opposite the mitchell arms (Every Street?) Have she restictions been lifted or just moved/been made smaller ?

I’m playing devil’s advocate to an extent here, I’m a live and let live kind of guy.

I mean emotionally needy in the sense that in their own little minds by staying to the end they become more valuable as fans in comparison with the early leavers who they point out and criticise. Who over the age of 12 actually compares themself to other fans ffs ?? One dafty actually said that staying to the end makes him a better fan than somebody who doesn’t.

It reminds me of being 12 yrs old and arguing on the playground about who had the biggest away support.

If I stay and applaud the team I get caught in it and end up home much later.

I stay till the end and then I leave, I don’t leave early.
Nor do I hang on after.

I never said I was surprised about the traffic? On the contrary, im very very used to it and know if I can scoot as soon as the whistle blows , have a good walking pace back to the car, I can then just about get away just before the build up starts,

If I hang on, im looking at being home 30 mins later at best , and considering im up at 5am it’s a big deal on a week night,

If im attending an away game I go by coach so theirs not much I can do timings wise so I plan my day accordingly, rarely go to midweek aways and as im dependant on the coach anyway usually stop and applaud at away games.

If that’s ok with you
 
tbf this is something new that previous players/teams havent done post-game at home (Unless they are saying goodbye to the fans! haha). I'm assuming this is something more he's used to in the German games but after last night i can imagine people arent going to want to leave as early, especially the younger supporters who's parents are hauling them out. Was great to see him doing a solo lap last night. The kid is a superstar.
He’s trying to form a bond with the fans immediately above and beyond anyone I’ve ever seen for a long time, maybe since Zaba… Rösler… maybe ever?

He’s scoring the goals and staying to do laps around the pitch to say thank you to the fans, and I think he deserves the fans to stay and show the aporeciation for him.

You can see after a handful of games he’s going to be a club legend but, not only that, he wants to be a fans’ favourite. He wants to be a Zaba and Rösler in the hearts of the fans yet has the talent of Yaya and Kun rolled into one.

Calling the fans that stay, 'emotionally needy' is a bizarre defensive mechanism. As is saying fans, like myself, have little minds for seeing things differently to you.

The fact is it looks shit to Pep/ the players when people leave early. You're lying to yourself if you disagree.
 
We should be employing "Jazz Hands" because clapping as we all know it a micro aggression.
