Credit to Glenn if he thought we could get an equaliser. Unfortunately he was in a very small minority, we never looked like doing it.

It is disappointing but it's connected to the elephant in the room at the Amex that the transport infrastructure remains a huge problem, and leaving early is one way of dealing with that problem.
Very difficult to get there any earlier if work never allows early leavers.There is some truth in this. But also a lot of myth. If people take into account that they're going to an event with a crowd of 30,000 people, is it really that surprising that it's not a bad idea to turn up half an hour before kick-off and might take half an hour to get away?
This is it, exactly. Too many supporters, sitting down expecting to be entertained. Not enough fans, who will get on their feet and follow their team through thick and thin. The demographics at the Amex would also terrify me if I was involved in long term planning at the club. #Old #White #Middle Class #Fickle
Why does it bother some people so much? Don't understand.

Yeah, me too. Saw plenty of young, white and presumably poor (?) lads leaving the North with ten minutes left last night.Patronising ****.
I am old, white middle class, and have supported this club putting my hard earned money into this club I love for 43 years. I have never left early so take your prejudices and shove them
As said above it happens at every ground in the country every week.
Well it would bother me if I was a player... and it could therefore stop us getting promoted... get it yet?
It doesn't though. Not to the extent that it happens at the Amex, anyway. Whether that is because of the demographic of our support or the transport, or a bit of both, it seems to be worse than anywhere else for it/QUOTE]
It does. I see it at away games and I see it on Match of the Day.

Because we are there to support the players. We complain that as supporters we get called customers, yet feel entitled to walk out when we aren't satisfied with the teams performance. We act like customers, so we'll get treated as such.
Try being loyal to the players despite the score for a change. Who knows, maybe we could have encouraged them to run that extra yard after they had ran themselves into the ground. That extra yard makes so much difference in games like these, which are won and lost on the smallest of margins.
Everyone who walked out in reaction to the equaliser and then winner should be ashamed in themselves. Finally please don't use the old train excuse. Find it hard to believe that thousands planned to leave on the exact second that the goals went in. Disgraceful.

It would really annoy me if I was a player and when I was fighting desperately to get an equalise in the last minute, half the fans were streaming out of the ground. Not exactly #together, is it?

Not to the same extent. People leaving early, yes, but the ground was literally half empty before the final whistle went last night. I can almost understand it if we're 3-0 down or even 3-0 up, but 2-1 down in a top of the table clash with a few minutes to go? Are these people new to football or something? Last minute goals are the best part of the sport, why are thousands of people prepared to miss potentially the best moments of the season for the sake of getting home 20 minutes earlier? It's just weird.
People don't get up and leave the cinema or the theatre with five minutes to go, so why the football?
