People leaving before the final whistle

[Stuart Munday]

I was disappointed how many people left before the end today. We are top of the league, the transport system now seems to be running well yet hundreds left before the final whistle. I understand if your with someone who is elderly or disabled but to everyone else why

They are a fcuking embarressment to the club, we must start shaming them as they go, there are plenty of real fans wanting tickets who will stay to the end and clap our team off the pitch as they deserve.The west stand seem to be the worst offenders, not just the prawn sarnie stand the upper as well.

Why are so many people on this board so worried about what other people do.

I left a couple of minutes early to get elderly mother up the stairs before the general exodus....... but did stand at back until end whistle!.......

Why does having the young ones with you mean you have to leave before the game has finished and the players have left the pitch.I had three with me today and we all stayed to the end, the atmosphere when the players clap the fans for there support is well worth staying for,not to mention seeing the late goal that often seals the game .

Because we are watching the game yet lots of people walk past us to get out

That is perfectly understandable BUT i agree re other people etc - it was silly today - and at half time. 39 mins on the big board and some in the North are queing for a beer. Also why not stay and CLAP the boys after a great result (AGAIN)

"embarressment" to the club? Ever looked in the mirror?

You obviously left early today as you were bored and wanted to get home and do what exactly.Let a real supporter have your seat.

 

[Foolg]

I don't usually leave early, but today I left just after the board went up. My mate starts work at 6, and has been late the last couple of times so we needed to get the first train.
People have their reasons.

Next you'll have to ask to go to the loo during the game!

Any time before the team have left the pitch is too early.

I think you're trying to 'move the goalposts' as your original post isn't complaining about people getting in the way, it's having a go just because they choose or need to leave early. Why didn't you make reference to the hoards that disappear up to 10 mins before half time or those that return to their seats after the second half has kicked off. I doubt there are many that actually get in your way unless you sit at the end of an aisle and all the aisle leave!!!!

couldnt give a f*** , happened at withdean as well . People desperate to be first on bus's and trains. Trace this back to Thatcher and the im alright jack attitude.

On a side note , bloke i spoke to in beer que today said got a season ticket but supports spurs. Said mainly coming for something to do and wasn't bothered on the result and has never seen spurs before either. Called him a prick whcih he seemed to take fairly well

Not a valid excuse,i leave work early to watch my team play an evening home game as should all STH`s.You simply do another couple of hours on another day to compensate your employer.

I take it that you left early then

To be fair, Dougie, Mrs Thatcher gets blamed for a lot of things.
But I don't think people leaving the AMEX before the final whistle can be laid at her door...
