Home Fans Leaving Early

Luckily I stand in complete silence with my arms folded all match so people leaving early just walk behind me. I'd be pissed off if I was sitting down.

On another note, I had to leg it for a piss on about 30 mins on Saturday and was gobsmacked to see the bars 5 deep. Makes you wonder what's the point? Shit expensive beer on top of a ticket.......
 
I stay to the end, I clap the players and I feel alright about that as I think it's important to the ongoing success of the team that the relationship with the fans is good - so you do your bit for a common cause. Others don't. They've every right, which is fine, but sometimes people have the right to be a bit of a twat - spare me the pass out excuses, I'll look the other way for one offs as I appreciate that life isn't always simple. If 1% walk early, OK, but if 20% walk early, we look a right bunch of fickle choosers to the prats watching on the telly, and you wonder what the considered response would be if you're later pulled up on the 'famous City support'.

The repeat offenders - lovely people as they may be - really ought to be asked to support the club in other ways. We're all friends here, so let's call it 10% of the match ticket price for a pass that gets you back out before 92.00 is on the clock.

If you leave matches early you're 60% more likely to tell shit stories at dinner parties.

Why would you want to get home early from the game? Unless of course you had a dinner party to attend
 
Its not as bad as it looks. Like many, if the game is won as on Saturday I'll move slowly towards the back of the stand once the game goes into added time. Dont leave the ground, dont miss any action but obviously leave an empty seat.

If the game's close, as against Dortmund and Arsenal I stay put until the final whistle. Which is fine but added 20 mins to the journey home.
 
i've been to matches were people leave early if we are winning & that is annoying . i could understand if we are getting beat & ppl just say fuck this i've had enough but seriously it really doesn't look good when we are winning .

If your winning 3-0 and the 90 mins I'd up but you got 4 mins of extra time then I don't see why you can't leave? If its a rly close game I.E drawing or the losing team looks like they are going to score then I would stay till the end

Exactly. I'm a little ashamed I've even contributed to the thread. What next? You can't leave the table until you've eaten all your peas?

No you have to sit at the table for five minutes to let your dinner digest!! So they have to stay until all the players have left the pitch. ;-)

I'm loving the reasons why people are "allowed" to leave early.

Read this you bunch of moaning fuckers.

I leave nearly every game early. Not for work. Not cos I've got kids. Because I wanna get back to the boozer before everyone else and it takes 10 minutes to get to town after 88 minutes and about half an hour after 90 minutes.

Something's are more important than watching every minute of a football game. Like drinking more beer. I pay my £275 and will come late and go early as often as I fuckin like.

Thank you.

Good lad
 
Here's a good one: Sensors on the seats; for every minute early that you leave, you lose a loyaly point. For every minute extra that you stay you gain a point. People that are moaning because they can't get Ajax tickets could build up their points by essentially camping out in the stadium in a sort of "survival of the fittest" endurance game.
Solves this issue and the loyalty points issue. Two birds with one stone.
 
Everytime this topic comes up I tut to myself, but everytime I can't help posting something.

I couldnt give a damn if people leave early or not. I usually stay but have left early when I need to. It doesn't make you a bad fan.

I've asked before and I'll ask again, is the person that stays every minute or every match but slags off the players a better fan than someone who leaves 10 mins early but sings their heart out the whole time whether winning or losing? Is someone that leaves early any worse than someone that turns up for 2nd half late as they are finishing their pint?

The answer is no one is better than anyone else, we're all City fans for gods sake.

Then again I've got less than 1000 posts on here so I'm probably not a "real" fan

I wasn't being serious but as I typed, I could see Sky making some sort of reaity TV gameshow based around the concept.
 
Some people have genuine reasons for leaving early. At Dortmund match I left early, saw the penalty but left early.
I took some annual leave to go in the first place, travelled 2 hours back and went on night shift.
I'll leave when I want if that's ok with you.
