Leaving the game early

[dawlishdave]

166

The same couple leave early on my row every single game, no matter what the score. Why leave at 1-1 when anything could happen? Everyone else just shakes their head every week.

1966 I Was working in London and bought 2 tickets for every game at Wembley (10 pounds each for bench seats under the Royal Box !). Chap about 60 left on 85 min every game ,yes including the final , now top that.

Maybe if you paid attention to the match instead of being a nosy **** you'd have a better time.

Nice! Thanks for that.

Left on 65 minutes at home to Palace this season because i went to the toilet twice with the shits. Had to ask a senior steward to let me use the disabled toilet because i knew the drug den cubicles in111 bogs would be occupied. After 10 minutes of pebble dashing i felt drained so i left to catch the tram. Got home and went to bed.

Lately I've been leaving at half time as our first half performances have been dire and I pay to be entertained. Gary Neville is right we have become boring.
It's great as everywhere is quiet. I can get home quickly on uncrowded public transport, be in the pub and watch the rest of the game in the warmth, usually to see us scrape another 1-0 win. It's the way forward, I love it.

.............I'm joking! Lol.

Late 90s we were three nil down away to Fulham at half time. I said i would leave if they got a 4th but they did'ent. So that was the closest i ever got. Perhaps Leicester away 4 nil down i nearly left as well.

Anyone who leaves a game early is a big spunk bubble

Couldn’t give a shit when people leave.

I’ve left the game early because I wanted to get home before the chippy closes before now.

Nobody’s business.

Pathetic attitude

Pathetic attitude

Like I said.

Fuck all to do with anyone else.

I think I said earlier in this thread possibly... there was a young kid counting them out when they started leaving early at one of our games, saying see ya to them all. Proper embarrassed them. Nice to see.

We left early once a few years ago. Middlesborough game. We were really pissed off that day.

I see a few of us left early for that Full Members final against Chelsea ha.
I remember coming out and it was quite eerie walking away from Wembley with not many people around.
Had to get the train to Uxbridge where we had left the car, the journey back to Cardiff was fucking shit, only found out it had finished 5-4 the next day when reading the papers ha

Surprised no one has said Nottingham forest in the fa cup. 3-0 loss 2007? I think. Awful game

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Last time I did that was the FA cup game at home to forest under Hughes when we were 3-0 down at half time. Id have walked out of Sourhampton away last year if I went aswell.

League Cup Quarters at Goodison one cold january night in 1988, not long after Sharp nodded in their 2nd goal, few hundred of us left early to go give it them shithouse mickies for their snide metallical antics that took place earlier that evening between Slime street n the Yankee bar. Twats had vanished n we were rounded up.

...United were also knocked out by Oxford same night :-)

Left Blackburn Rovers away early in April 1989. 3/4 time I think. It was dire.

Then listened about Hillsborough on radio.

 

[geoff hammond]

The people who left on 80 minutes tonight (a 7-30 kickoff). Would they have left on 50 minutes if it kicked off at 8?
Or do they habitually like to leave 10 minutes before the end whatever time it is?

I left a bit early due to the three most feared words in the English language - bus replacement service. Only by five mins but that five mins mean I save 2 hours travelling.

Not having a go. All got our own stories. But,if had been 8 would u just have suffered the longer journey or left the ground at say 60 minutes
