The home support is terrible

I'm sure the players would prefer 80 minutes of support (ideally 90 mins plus) rather than reading this type of response from someone who doesn't go, but feel they are in a position to criticise those who do

Not critising mate just stating facts .if people want to pay £50 for a ticket and not stay to the end fair enough but i cant see the point ,if i paid £50 for a ticket i wouldnt be leaving early .but each to there own

I left on 85 minutes. The game was over, I was cold and we had a restaurant table booked at 8.30pm.

Big deal.

why do people still get surprised when it takes them a while to get away from somewhere that has 45,000 people in it?

I always wonder about this. If you go to a football match or any manner of entertainment with a large crowd you expect it to take a long time to get away surely?

No. The service was utterly abysmal. I've just given it a slating on tripadvisor .

But at least we got there on time for once ;-)

Ironically I ended up having a bit of a late night Beef with the Mrs too about how football dictates everything in our family.
 
If you go to any away game, where they serve beer at half time, and head for the concourse when the half time whistle is blown you will find queues 10 deep at the bar. These are mainly city fans with 10,000+ loyalty points who travel thousands of miles every year supporting the team. But their match going ritual dictates that they skip the last 5 minutes of the first half, no matter how close the game is, to get a pint.

I find it strange, but I suspect that many would be puzzled by my match day habits. Each to their own really
 
I left on 80mins........sorry. My excuse of having a bad leg, being cold and the fact I would make the 19:45 train instead of an hour later swayed it for me.
 
Left at the end and was home by 7:50. Roads seemed quieter than usual, maybe because most people had left early!

No. He left half-way through the dessert.
 
I don't mind when we're cruising if people go its upto them. It's when its tight and we are pushing for a goal I don't get. The mass exodus when burnley equalised the other week was embarrassing.

I tried doing something really extreme last night, I stayed until the end, clapped everyone off, went up onto the concourse for a piss. Then I had a 5minute mooch in the club shop, grabbed a Big Mac from mcds. Got In the car and I was on the m60 in 15mins no fucker about!

What's the difference? A lot will still get stuck if they don't go when they need to go.
 
I thought the atmosphere on Saturday evening was as good as its been for a long while at home. Probably worth factoring in a 5:30 kick off and an early goal mind you.
 
2 women near me are always late but they surpassed themselves on Saturday. Missed the first five minutes of each half left five before half time and then left on 73 minutes. I have no idea why they bother as they always miss a good chunk of the game regardless of the kick off time or day.

I didn't. I turned up half an hour early and stood on my seat chanting about how good the chef was whilst wearing an Italy shirt. After I ordered I was repeatedly urging the restaurant on to deliver my starter. But when it came it was cold, so I booed the waiter when he came over to collect the plates.

I couldn't believe all the so-called diners who just sat enjoying their meal calmly. And I gave some abuse to the tourists taking selfies with their meal.

I'm at the restaurant every single week and I was disgusted at the amount of couples I'd never even seen before. They were nowhere to be seen before it got its Mitchelin star. Me? I sat there right until closing time clapping every one of the staff as they left the building.

I like it.
 
It's strange how many City fans have really important things to do, kids who have to be in bed, bad whatevers, compared to fans of many other clubs.

Indeed it seems in modern times City fans have got much more demanding lives than they once had, even in fact since the COMS opened.

But it's obviously the case. City fans have more important things to do, than many fans of other clubs, & have to be off.

Otherwise, they would surely stay to applaud the team off, like a few of us sad bastards with no lives do.
