Thank you for your very reasoned response Arabella. Does it matter why they go early? The point is they pay their money so it’s their choice to make. I don’t understand why it bothers people so much, I’m too busy watching the game to concern myself with what others are doing. Perhaps that’s why the atmosphere has declined people are too busy looking to moan about everyone else than get involved in the match. (That comment is not aimed at you personally just a general observation).

absolutely this, especially that road opposite through the park where everybody walks. There are always cars trying to get out of there at top speed with little uns running around in the dark. If people want to leave early that's their choice but no cars should be able to exit the car parks around until 15 mins after final whistle for everyones safety.
I've never left a game early nor will I, I'd still stay at 8-0 down, I'm there to be entertained and if someone scored an overhead kick to lose 8-1 I'd be gutted to miss it but if people want to good luck to them. But if they leave early then knock a kid over rushing to get out.....
"If I have other commitments that day, be they before or after the game, I tend to decide not to go on."
That's not a suggestion. It's a statement of fact.

You know what, im lucky Im not there now, but there was a time I often had other commitments, usually work when PNE played at home. Those commitments often made me appear at Deepdale with only 20 mins left of the game.
There were other times when I had work commitments that meant i could only see even the 1st half. I was always there though 🙂

Ah, so you don’t mind those that leave early at all then, because that is what they have decided.
Now that is proper support.

Couldn't really care less. If they want to pay money for 90% of what they're buying, they can do what they want. Just seems a bit daft to me.

Some people at every ground in the world will leave early for their own reasons.
Some people have lives outside of football and those schedules demand they leave the game early so as not to be caught in traffic. Children's birthday parties are often on a Saturday teatime for example. To those people I say thanks for the support in turning up at all, rather than decry them for leaving early. Those who leave early purely because of the scoreline I think are disrespectful to the players, the club and the fans they are blocking the view of.
There will always be fans who have to find fault with something if the football on display (even at Deepdale!) is going so well that it can't be complained about.
That's all fair comment though. I would only say sometimes it's not exactly difficult to notice when groups get up & leave before the end - it's often a bit of a surge when there's a short break in play, regardless of the scoreline.
