I learned not to do it at a very early age.
In the 50's My Dad left a midweek afternoon FA Cup Tie against Newcastle at Maine Road when City were winning 3-0 with about 20 mins to go. He was a newsagent and had to leave early to get the bus back home to help sort the evening deliveries. Famously, City lost 4-5 AET. He didn't know until he arrived back and my Mum told him. All the way home he has assumed that City were through. Needless to say, he wouldn't believe her until he heard it on the radio.
Hence why I've always stayed right until the end. Even the Gillingham Play-off.
Anything can happen with City.
