Southend Leaving Early

[lawros left foot]

But just imagine the extra hours of rubbish the 90 minute crew have had to sit through After 4 seasons at the amex i have missed nothing And saved a few days of queuing

And how have you spent those extra days you have saved? You haven't invented a cure for cancer, you havent paved a course for World peace, you haven't even written a winning Eurovision song,you've got home a bit earlier, hardly worth the risk of missing crucial goals, sending offs, or even a very drunk person doing a streak.
Its better to die living, than live dying!

Yup, only time I have left early was the Palace game at the second goal. Freely admit that one, although being seated right next to them I feel mitigating circumstances.

Was really hoping they weren't allowed back in.

Obvious way forward is to charge such twats a nominal re-admission fee. Might just make them go and sit in the corner and think about what they did.

There's a difference between leaving a sh*t Amex dull fest, compared to the play-off final - the culmination of a season's hard slog. I usually leave on 88 minutes as I have a 4 year old who is a nightmare when we're queueing - I would never leave a Play off final early

I remember Leicester at Withdean a few years ago, 2008 I think.. Someone posted a thread on here ranting and raving we then came back to win 3-2 in the second half

I'm sure someone can dig out the thread, was an NSC classic.

That would be [MENTION=4702]pornomagboy[/MENTION] - we were 2-0 down at half time if memory serves and he left, then came on here and posted a rant about how shit we were.

We subbed Savage at half time and looked much better after. Bradley Johnson scored twice from the edge of the area and towards the end of the game my best mate got the game delayed 20secs by grabbing the ball on the running track and booting it back on when they'd got another one already in play

Great night!

So if you had an option to either watch 80 minutes of a match or none of it you'd go for none?

Like someone else said if I had other commitments I wouldnt go in the first place.

I should have stayed in case i saw a drunk persons tackle sounds really like i missed out!

Remember Erica Roe?How empty my life would have been without the memory (mammory?)of her dashing run, with a fag on the go, no less.

You have hit the nail spot on,leaving five minutes before final whistle not only avoids delaying family evening meal but also provides time for evening events shows/pubs etc,if you should have missed a last minute goal then catch up on TV,simple!

If there was something else so important that I had to leave before the end, I wouldn't go in the first place.

Like someone else said if I had other commitments I wouldnt go in the first place.

Fair enough, but I'd rather go for some of the game than none of it in that situation and it appears that others are of a similar mind.

(I once went for only the first half: an hour to the stadium, 45 minutes of football and an hour back again, but for me I'd rather do that and show up for what I can than not go at all just because I can't stay the full 90 minutes).

We are the worst for this; I actually wonder why about a third of our attendance bother going. Terrible support.

We are bad - but it is a widespread phenomenon and our home matches have not exactly been thrilling recently.

As mentioned on another thread the other day - I always remember the hoards running back in to Withdean when Virgo scored against Swindon in the play-off semi. I'm no saint, staying to the final whistle at every single game, but never leave early if there is only 1 goal in it

I did against Millwall at home this season f**cking shocking display and never looked liked scoring first time I've ever left a game early!
