I agree. If I have other commitments that day, be they before or after the game, I tend to decide not to go on. If I'm paying good money for a ticket, I'm there til the whistle blows.

And for those that struggle to get about, instead of leaving 10mins early, why not leave 10mins late?

You make choices why do you think you should decide for everyone else too? I’m sure the club would rather you supported them and leave early than not attend at all, in case you don’t get your monies worth.

It's to avoid being disapointed and stuck in traffic at the same time.....i never used to leave until the end but not anymore....if we have pĺayed shit and are 4-0 down with 5 minutes to go....they're not getting anymore of my time....time..the most precious of commodities.

I'm sure they'll be gutted.:youl:
 
I very rarely leave early but thinking back to when I have its normally because I can't stand the team being booed! It's just my pet hate I really can't stand it and has made me 'do one' on quite a few occasions in my North End supporting career.

I wasn't deciding for anyone. I simply posted what I do regarding games. My second paragraph was a suggestion, not an instruction.

Oh sorry. So either don’t go, or get very cold for 10 minutes. The club wouldn’t appreciate the first and I don’t know anyone that would appreciate the second suggestion which, probably explains why they leave early, as is their absolute right.

Second suggestion? Pretty sure I only made one.
 
Would you leave 2 mins before the end of a film in the cinema?
Would you leave Just as the couple say I do at a wedding?
Would you leave Just as the desert comes out for your meal?
Would you leave the party 5 mins before midnight on New Year’s Eve?

People pay their money and have the choice, but for the life of me why go early and get in the way of others who do want to watch until the end?
 
Ive more problem with people whove spent a couple of hours in the pub getting in the way throughout the game than i do with people leaving early. FFS Up, down, up down all the game.

Exactly that but it seems that is fine so long as you don’t leave early! What the hell is that about there is absolutely no logic.

How many thousand would be at any of the above venues? As for the New Years Eve, yes if you wanted to be with your children, a parent/family member or knew you would struggle to get home if you waited. How many people would care at said party though? Unbelievable!

Wish I would have left before I said " I do"
 
Well they could be working, visiting a sick relative, need to get home to look after children or, any number of reasons. As long as the club take their money I doubt they care whether or not you stay for the entire match. I equally never understood why people think they have the right to judge on the choices of others.

I can see the argument disturbing other people’s enjoyment of the game but, people up and down to the toilet or going for a pie or pint or bet before half time don’t seem to bother anyone as long as they come back!


This wasn't meant to be having a go, perhaps I should have included when those leaving have nowhere else in particular to be at that time.

I appreciate some will have other commitments that can't be avoided. Personally though, if I was going to see a friend/family member in hospital on a Saturday when North End are at home, & I could only go between 2.30 - 5.30pm, then I wouldn't go on the match, but again appreciate others would act differently, & I don't have a problem with that.

To be honest, it's probably more the volume of early leavers that's often difficult to understand. If we say 2 fans per row per block (accounting for a balance between empty & full rows) leave early every game, & given our average home fans attendance so far this season, that's looking at just under 10% of all home fans leaving before the end, & I wouldn't say that's exclusive to North End either. So I get there'll always be a few instances of why people may need to leave early, but you can't tell me most of those won't just say it's because they "want to get home".
