Shame as the 2nd half was fairly entertaining.

In fairness, for many folk today there were major travel worries and evening commitments.

I never leave early from any game, even stayed to applaud the players off in THAT play off semi, but today I was a gnat's tadger away from spitting my dummy out at half time and going home to be honest. I'm so glad I didn't, but that first half really took the biscuit.

Cycling away from the Amex just after the final whistle, I always overtake Albion fans on foot already past The Bridge car park and often beyond that into Moulescoomb. I could understand leaving early to avoid bus/train queues, but to walk home or to a car parked in a local street? Does missing that 5/10 minutes at the end of each match really make that much difference to such people?
The guys in front have missed every single goal scored after 80mins since the AMEX opened, including the first game.
As 1066 said today was the day I almost went at half-time.
That was the worst and longest first 45 minutes EVER, there was no way I could sit though that kind of performance again.
Fortunately we didn't have too.

Yeah, I was actually quite pleased with the amount of folks who turned out today, especially with it being the day after the big one and all.

Glad the players don't give up so easily. The second half was really entertaining: we could've scored 4.

I left at half time as it seemed no one bar 10 or so people were interested in creating any sort of atmosphere.. 2nd time I've ever left early, karma I guess...

Up the Albion!
I wonder if these people buy a Twix & throw half away, or the last bite even?
Second half was like being at a different game....
I thought the first half was poor but no way was it as bad as the Millwall game. The first goal was a gift and the second the result of poor marking/a good header/deflection but not a reason to leave at half time, especially after our first goal. We are still missing the quality but at least we had a bit of passion from the team in the second half.

There were a couple who left the ns after their second, why bother coming at all if you are going to leave after 20 minutes when is not going your way.
I would like to commend the railways, best service to and from Lewes EVER.

Yea, so I've heard.. Don't think I could of gave much more, I'd lost my voice in the first half..
Well, you can feck right off and not bother coming to another game. What an idiot. Yes, the first half was truly awful, but it's a football game ... and performances have been known to improve however unlikely it may seem.
It's been discussed before. People leave early because they're disgusted by the team's performance and want to show it, no other reason. (Although some say they want to do it because they need to get home for Strictly etc, etc, etc).

That's just WEIRD
They might do if the first half is horrible.
