If that's so clearly true, how is it we scored twice in the last 15 minutes? The effect on the players was not noticeable.

Do we have to have this after every game?

Hmm...we've only been season ticket holders EVERY SEASON since 1970's so the fact that we generally leave 2/3 minutes before the final whistle must make us really "bad fans" !!?? What a load of !*?"

Not bothered if people nick off early, it's generally their loss. We score regularly in the final few minutes of each half (no stats, just it seems to me to be that way)
Half time is also a bit of a shambles. The poor blokes in front of me missed 2 goals on Sat just so they could get a swift pint (1 goal either side of half time) which is more about the piss poor organisation of the catering arrangement (East Upper - not sure about the rest of the ground). The hot water is a joke - a couple of tea-drinkers in the queue and you might as well abandon the idea of getting anything. Know a few people who have started to bring a flask and sandwiches because that can't be arsed to wait and miss the start of the second half.

Would you leave a film or theatre 5 mins before the end?
Imagine James Bond is about to save the world in the next few mins .....BUT shit GTG the train is coming and I need to get home to watch Britains got talent.

Are there 25000+ trying to get away with limited resources available to take them away from the cinema to various park & ride destinations in addition to public transport?

you know 9 months in advance when the fixtures come out, so try and plan better....I get home every Saturday at 830-9pm....
I stay until the end, have a piss and still get on the train within 30 mins, then get the train to Haywards Heath where my car is parked before a 110 mile drive to swindon..
Would I leave early ?? NOt in a million years..
How can 40 mins make such a difference over a 24 hour day.....How about making food in the morning that only needs heating? Just a suggestion!!

These threads actually make me want to leave early as i know its really actually upsets so many people.
You moaners must have so little going on in your lives if people leaving a football match really upsets you enough to want to post about it.

Do people have to stay at nightclubs until kicking out time? And should they get disapproval from other clubbers for leaving ten minutes before the end?

Which part of "I look after my disabled mrs" did you not read from my previous post?
Every minute is accounted for, and I mean every single minute from getting up at 6am to clean up any overnight accidents until 11.30pm when I get to sit down and unwind!
And don't reply to my point regarding 25000 at the cinema will you?

It's not getting home early, it's waiting in the que, it's boring, annoying and tedious! I'm shouted and clapped for 88 mins, I don't see the players keeping me entertained while I'm in my car! So chill out little people and get a life

to be fair to you if i lived in swindon i too would delay going home for as long as possible
Sorry, you want to use the last 15 minutes of one football match as evidence that the crowd don't effect the team? That's a pretty ridiculous argument, don't you think?
