Staying on and clapping

[Dick Knights Mumm]

What happens where we sit in ESL is that all the time we are clapping the players the queue to leave is not actually moving. So people may as well stay in their seats and clap.

This bugs me too dude. I always stay until the final whistle and later if the team deserves my applause....and I've got a 2 hour drive to get home!

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Wish I could but the dreaded Bridge St car park and distance I have to travel forces a rapid exit.

Yep, a couple of minutes can make half an hour extra on the time getting out of that place. I hate it.

Dudes, Bruno, who had sweated his bollocks off in Wednesday's game turned around and clapped err... around 1000 fans in 8,000 empty seats.

Come on dudes, no excuses, lets clap after the final whistle. Is that too much to ask?

We can be the difference dudes in the way we support the team this season, c'mon!

You live local and get up at a sensible time I guess ?

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

Exactly! It reminds me a bit too much of the time I worked on a dude ranch.

The most common sight on a dude ranch.

I thought Dudes went to American Football games? Or maybe Rodeo?

 

[sully]

I stayed but many like my brother have to be away very sharp to catch his connection at Clapham he has 1 train from Brighton that meets it, if he misses that he has great problems getting home.

I presume this excuse only applies to midweek games.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Can't be arsed to stay and clap.

Anyway, the quicker I am away, the quicker I get to my car at the Virgin club and away before the queue starts as they let the park and ride omnibuses out.

Hi DUDE I clap as I am moving.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I had to get back pretty lively AFTER staying 'til the final whistle and enjoying a great performance. I had to run dude dude dude, dude dude run run.

 

[Monkey Man]

I always clap a good performance, and occasionally a poor one. As DKM says, the queue for the exits hardly moves anyway, so it's not much of a cause for delay. I might be in more of a rush if I had a train or bus to catch but happily I don't.

Might be my imagination but fewer players seem to be clapping the fans this season - doesn't bother me though after the great atmosphere on Wednesday I thought a few more might want to soak up the applause after the whistle.

 

[surlyseagull]

Zippedy dude da zippedy day my oh my wont the su pporters stay !!!

I do apologize I dont know where that came from

 

[swindonseagull]

120 miles to drive home from the mill hill Park and ride... so as soon as the ref blows full time, we are out of there.

 

[Superphil]

Dude, I wasn't even there, and it didn't affect the result.

 

[Superphil]

I always do every game - win lose or draw. And I tell you what, I always notice waaaay more in the WSU than anywhere else in the ground.
It's been suggested that WSU hosts a higher % of Withdean regulars than any other area at the Amex several times -
And that is something I agree with- Hence the more appreciative types who clap he team off each week - whatever the score....

Likewise in the stand below you, and the same happens there.

 

[LamieRobertson]

All the Young Dudes...good old Mott the Hoople

 

[MattBackHome]

Dude.

 

[Justice]

This bugs me big time. If you're losing embarrassingly I can understand why fans would leave the stadium early.

And I can see why after a boring draw you might want to get away early.

But I was shocked after Wednesday's [wonderful] game how many 'fans' disappeared at or just before the final whistle.

Dudes, we need to congratulate our our players on a big performance, the feedback to them is more important than your place in the bus queue.

How demoralising must it be for the players, having sweated their bollocks off to grind a victory to see you ****ing off down the tunnel to get your place in the queue?

FFS Stay for a minute and congratulate the players! Stay a minute. Be supporters - be great supporters - c'mon!


WIN! STAY! CLAP! SING! WIN!

Precious was shocked did you go home and cry to mummy?

Apart from that I agree with you.
