Only game I've ever left early was the 3-0 away to Palace this season. It was either leave 5 minutes early, or wait 30 mins to an hour in that plane hanger of a stand after the game. I honestly thought Murray was gonna score a third, and theres no way I wanted to see that. Always clap the players off, but it's the only game I've honestly thought they didn't deserve it

Half time at Leyton Orient- September 1968 I think- the game was abandoned!

After half an hour of the Stoke/McGhee debacle. I also left at half time during a 3-1 home defeat to Scunny at Priestfield

Thursday 24th January 2002, we lost at Brentfod 4-0 when it was on some crappy TV channel. We were 2-0 down at half time and we nearly left then as we were shocking but we agreed to go on the 3rd goal which happened to be in the 59th minute. They scored a 4th 3 minutes later whilst we were walking down the road away from the ground. 2 weeks before we'd been stuffed 3-0 at Wigan which was equally appalling but we did see that one out.
Somehow, we won the league that season.....although Pardew thinks Reading won it

Just after the full whistle went. Why would anyone leave beforehand?

Is it wrong to leave early to watch the rugby
Tis fine for Rugby, and, like me, you can prioritise Harlequins games over Albion ones.

in nearly 30 years of watching football, only left before fulltime once, west ham away last season,
very dire, but still fell guilty about it....

Two hours before the start of Albion v Notts County Reserves in 65. I had already been queuing for five hours.

Left loads of times at half time due to work starting times , i think i may of left of my own accord once due to the nature of the game and sub zero temperature 15 minutes or so before the end of the game up at Doncaster we lost 1-0 to make it worse the shopping trolley scored for Donny

It's all about the bikes
About 80 minutes. It was THE match against Leicester with McGhee in charge when Leicester scored twice in the first 5-10 minutes. Dire performance under a dire manager.
