How many last minute goals do we score/concede? We have more than enough times to think I'm gonna stay this time. Uh huh. Because the only thing more downright annoying than having to leave early is getting back to reading a thread berating fans for leaving early and telling them to man up and stay to the end. Try doing a 100 mile round trip for every home game for 10 years (and I know there are others that travel further than I do and have done it for longer) and fitting in other life events around the random finish time of games and then get back to me with the not getting why people leave early.

Are you Yoda in disguise or a wannabe cast member for Fools and Horses ? Chillax and concentrate on your own well being and leave others to to do what they like best.... I just don't understand why you'd wanna pay up some of your money to not stay and enjoy all what you've flipping paid for?! To me that doesn't make sense, espcially if we are playing well or its a tight situation such as tonight. Now if we were losing 2 or 3 nil I've got no qualms with that. In fact I'd probably be off too. Just disappoints me that people don't get to experience huge moments because the don't wanna be stuck in traffic.

TomtheOwl95 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 It baffles me, I get the traffic argument but for me you pay to watch 90+ minutes don't you? You wouldn't leave a concert 5 minutes before would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling Wolfe Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I accept some people have a reason at full time but what really winds me up more is people walking out 5 minutes before half time to get to the front of the queue for either a pee or a pie.

A super three points, Up the Owls. Well done to all the fans who went tonight and those who listen to the game on the radio etc. Not radio (anything but) Sheffield (Wednesday). I cant get FM at work due to poor reception and they never put us on DAB. They should change the name to Radio Sheffield United, Barnsley. Rotherham and Doncaster.

Bottom line mate is that you're getting wound up over nowt, there's plenty of reasons why some may need to leave early, just as there's plenty reasons why some don't go, just cos you don't understand it, it shouldn't make it wrong.. yer pays yer money and makes yer choice, simplze... but then there's also some that can't afford to pay the money, maybe you should reflect more on them and maybe just consider yourself lucky or just fortunate...

parkerowl Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 55 minutes ago, crookesowl said: Why do people leave after 85 minutes? Every flipping week, people get up and go. The game was 2-2 and we were attacking. It's beyond my comprehension. You've sat through 85 minutes why not wait until the end? So what if you're sat in wet pants and will have to share a tram with 200 other equally sodden-ed people, getting home an hour later for the sake of 10 minutes extra game time. Man up and stay to the end next time, right? You missed one of the best moments in recent times at Hillsborough. </rant> Literally nothing to do with you is it.

daveyboy66 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I left early to contemplate suicide from noxious amounts of alcohol...I think people on here think I give afuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys left peg Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Some Owls fans go to games some don't some stay til the final whistle some don't you go and obviously stop the final whistle, I don't on night matches as I've want to get my lad home at a reasonable time as he's got school (not in Sheff) in the morning. were both ST holders and stay til the final whistle on a Saturday pi$$ed I missed lee's goal and glad you didn't miss it hope I'm excused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damianb1 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I'm afraid for only the 2nd time in my life I left early tonight. My and my 9 yr old son have season tickets (it's his first) so this is his first night game in school term time. That combined with the delayed kick off and living in l$€ds meant that when ff flashed it across the goal and wide on about 94 1/2 minutes I decided we should get going. As we walked down the kop stairs I said to him"I'd be very happy now to hear a large roar" he smiled and well we all know what happened next. Just got back up the steps to see the replay.

Nah it is wrong, if you've got work or something or have to be home to put the kid in bed fine. But just leaving cos you don't wanna sit in traffic? (Wo)Man up. Its also a safety issue, as shown by the celebration of the goal. They all crowd around the exits and block people in, could cause a crush and what have you but I suppose that's secondary if you're gonna miss the bus. The people who didn't go in the first place don't get to witness anything, so no I don't feel for them. In fact I don't feel for the guys who leave early, just think you've wasted your £28 or whatever it was by missing the winning goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesowl Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I still love you all really, just a bit of fun innit. A few people have genuine excuses granted. I'd rather you showed up for 85 mins than not at all. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I leave on 88 minutes to sit near the exit, for a quick getaway. Makes a huge difference in getting out of Hillsborough, traffic wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Ahh, the reality of Owlstalk..... True fans vs Real fans ! Always gonna be a bore draw I'm afraid, neither side winning, neither side losing, just WEDNESDAY fans doing what they have to do to get by.... And then there's the others that will one day also grow up and have reality thrust upon them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
