Wow, I can't think why that didn't occur to me.........oh hang on, I remember now, it's because of those people behind me that also want to see and are already shouting for everyone to sit down. Tbh I would happily stand the whole game but can't :-(

Fair enough, leave when you want, of course it's up to you, but don't expect me to stand up and miss some of the game to let you out of your seat, or stay calm when a whole row in front of me stands up to let people out
When you selected your seat why did you not elect for one in the middle of a row? Stands to reason if it obviously bothers you so much.

Well they obviously do give a shit otherwise they wouldn't be there in the first place. Evening kick off, kids have school next day, shite transport system, shite weather....you can't blame em really.

Thats a fair point, will see how far I get next home game with it, as you say it's tough, we all just want to watch what is happening.

Left after the final whistle in the North Std and clapped the team off.
Stayed for a pint.
Rain had stopped.
Two buses came at once. Straight on.
Home in 2o mins.
No complaints.

To be honest, I leave when best suits me. Quite frankly I really don't care whether the "we're better fans than you" bunch approve of not. (Incidentally, I do always stay to the end but always try to move towards to empty seats behind me for a quick getaway).
The ground will never be full at 90 minutes. I absolutely guarantee that irrespective of the gravity of the situation, be it the last moments of a play-off match at 1-1 or beating Palace 5-0 at home, people will leave.

Our commute for a home game is just over 400 miles. Not much point leaving early when the only difference it makes is getting in at 2am instead of 5 past! The guy next to us left after 73 minutes. He lives in Brighton. Bad fan? Well he went to Watford and Millwall and is going to Derby so I would say not. Just reacting to his frustration at consecutive ineffective performances. Fair enough but we are still playing better football than we ever have........ And he missed the goal 
As much as I personally disagree with leaving early, this is spot on

If you are in the West stand, you can always see people leaving from the other three stands, but cant see them leaving your own. Likewise people in in the East can see the West emptying.
Its a bit like the stupid "We're the North Stand" chant, last year I was in the Upper West and we always followed it. Now im in the Upper East, it is followed over here, but if you
look at the Upper West, they are standing and singing it at the same time. The upper East can only hear their version, whilst the upper West can only hear theirs. In act they are both singing their stand at the same time, drop it, cringworthy.
As for suggesting that, with 10 mins to go, and chasing a winner, the the Albion players are watching the stands emptying, pathetic, I think they have other things on their mind.

I spoke to the club earlier and they're thinking about getting some drapes attached to the roof of the east upper that drop to the floor encasing the whole east stand on the 85th minute on these drapes will be painted Albion fans like they had at highbury when the north bank was being built to make it look like the stand is full with some fan chants coming out of the speakers in the east to act as a 12th man right up until the 95th minute

I got the ground at 6.15 - had 3 pints and a very nice burger, left my seat at the final whistle, had two further pints , walked straight on to the park and ride bus at 10.30
Is anyone remotely interested?
Yes, what car are you driving so that I can stay out of your way after a game

Well done west upper H block last night singing relentlessly for the whole second half trying to keep an atmos going and acting as the 12th man didn't see many leaving either till the end
West upper H block I salute you
I applaud you for staying til the end but if you spend the last 10 minutes watching what the WSU are up to you're as likely to miss a goal as someone sitting on the S bus
