debram Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 To me it's an all day thing, get there early to take in the atmosphere and don't leave early as bristol and forest games proved, then get to the pub after for a few celebration beers, or in some cases consolation beers uto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more bothered about the disruption it causes and the effect it has on the atmosphere, not to mention having to keep letting people pass. What if an early leaver is sat on the aisle seat and causes no disruption at all? Last I heard we lived in a democracy and people can do what they like provided they don't break the law. Each to their own I say, if an early leaver misses any goals that's their problem I'm quite certain they know the risk involved to leave them to it.

parkfieldowl14 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Serves them right if they decide to leave after 85 mins and then miss the winning/Equalising goal.That is the price you'll pay for leaving early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seems some people are finding this notion difficult to grasp, so here it is: Not everyone is that bothered about missing a last minute/injury time goal. Comprendre???.

The only time that i've left a game early is back in 1988 when Everton were 5-0 up after 40 mins in the FA Cup 3rd round 3rd replay.Since then i've always stay to the bitter end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we attack and they hover on the staircase & block my view. I actually missed both of Lee's winners because people have gotten up to leave, not committed to their decision & hung around in front of my view.

SiJ Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I do find it quite strange when people leave a game like yesterday or Bristol early. If we are 3-0 up/down with 5 to play, then I can understand why someone might want to get off early to beat the traffic...but when a games on a knifedge like that it really is a bit odd. Yesterday on the North it was particularly bad. People were flooding out from about 85 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I don't see why folk get so wound up. If peeps want to leave on 85 min then fine. Personally I stop till the last player has left the field. It's my choice. Live an let live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't sit there tutting as people walk by or anything like that, just find it a bit odd. In saying that it is a bit annoying when you have to keep standing up because your views obstructed by a stream of people leaving on 85 minutes. Thing is I'm a tall bugger too, so once I stand up the people behind me have to stand up, then the people behind them. It's a viscous circle I tell ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly is someone gets up and leaves early and blocks other people's view it's tough poo poo. You can sure as hell guarantee if the situations/roles were reversed they wouldn't care less they were obstructing views. This argument isn't much different to the standard/non standers.

SallyCinnamon Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Will never get the logic of leaving early, in particular in games where there is still time for us to get something out of the game. But each to their own. People might have good reasons for leaving early. It doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfieldowl14 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I seem to remember about over 30 years ago,that there a sudden surge of people running back up towards the Kop when we got a last minute pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't exactly go into meltdown about it. Just saying i'm not really bothered if someone leaves early and misses a goal, but am more bothered about having to continually keep jumping up & down to let people f**k off early, and in our row we have the aisle seat so they do cause disruption as far as i'm concerned. Even over & above that, as i said, it is an atmosphere killer when people are streaming out with 10 mins to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the early leavers are no different in their levels of annoyingness than the weak bladdered or the weak sphinctered. Thankfully i have an an aisle seat next to one of the exits but that's because I am up and down to the toilet a lot due to a chronic illness so hopefully I ain't one of the annoying ones.
