The Earliest You Have Left An Albion Game

[Baron Pepperpot]

Well ?

Some folk are upset about people leaving early, so I wondered what the earliest time people have left is.

Mine was at half-time v Norwich City a few years back.

I was in the South Stand and the people in my end section were behaving like twats and one lush was standing up behind me swearing continuously (I mean really offensive) and the stewards were doing nowt.

It was freezing and I hadn't been feeling too great anyway, so I'd had enough.

Many years ago out the Goldstone we left at halftime.
We were 3-0 down to Liverpool, it was pissing down with rain from when we first arrived about 1.30. Number 1 son had a little fold-up stool that he stood on in the chicken run and by the time the match started the water in the chicken run was about 12" deep and up to the top of his stool.

We went 3 down and were bloody soaked right through. So off we went, albeit reluctantly.

Needless to say, we ended up drawing 3-3, with Fozzie scoring the equaliser late on in the game.

Wasn't too bad though, it was on Match of the Day that night, so we did end up seeing our 3 goals. Always did feel guilty for wussing out, though.

The only time I remember leaving a game before the final whistle was against Palace last season. Left as soon as Murray scored.

Never before the end, except for the Archer/Bellotti walk out many moons ago.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

15 minutes to go at our drubbing up at west ham last season. Furious with the team Gus put out and desperate to miss the rush for the tube.

Sorry about that.

14th minute against Millwall

 

[Lethargic]

There was a game at the Goldstone in 1996 against York I didn't even make 30 minutes not much to see after 15 odd minutes.

Jumpers for goalposts.

 

[Pete and Sarah]

We left at half time of added time of the play off semi v Swindon at Withdean. Just out of hospital after surgery and the rain a problem got home to find a penalty shoot out. Never left early since!

 

[finlaych]

My dad made us leave at half time 4/5 years ago at the Withdean. Can't remember who it was against but it was absolutely pissing it down, there hadn't been a single chance yet. Final score was 0-0 though.

 

[surrey jim]

Half time at a game v Carlisle during the withdean years. Rained so much my phone got ruined. Was already feeling the cold and under the weather .

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Whenever it was that West Ham scored their fifth against us. They scored they sixth as we were still leaving the ground

This.

 

[downham seagull]

Have to leave dead on 9.30pm (ususlly 84 min)for a 7.45 kick off. Reason for this is to ensure I get my connection from Brighton and London upto Norfolk then an hour drive home(1.30am). If I miss a connection then is a night on the platform so to all those who tut when I do leave, u probably live a lot more local and its
not an issue!

If its any other kick off time then its on the final whistle

Left the Amex at half-time on the day the floodlights failed. Was going to have to leave about 10 minutes early anyway as I was going to a gig in town, but due to the delay from the lights going I ended up leaving before they came back on.

[Pat McCrotch]

Palace away when they hammered us. Left when the 4th went in which was about 10 minutes into the second half. Wankers.

 

[hola gus]

I'm normally critical of the early leavers as cannot really understand why thousands of people need to a leave a game on a knife edge. But I must confess to leaving a game at withdean just after half time! I think it was Doncaster and the score was 0-0 and baking hot. Neither team could go up or down and it was 1 or 2 games from the end of the season and I had just witnessed the most dire half of football so thought f*** it if the players can't be arsed for this game then nor can I. Went to station pub and got pissed whilst watching sports Saturday!!! I done the right thing!!!
