Not sure if it being the cup makes a difference, but last weekend I watched the game from WSU and stopped for a pint afterwards, because the vibe seemed right. Not bothered by anyone moving about or trying to leave early. This week back in East Lower and back to square one. Some people saunter up and down the aisle regardless of the state of play. When you are low down, you can miss whole chunks of action, whilst Uncle Fred just confirms everyone's order one final time. Stay for a pint afterwards and you are surrounded by kids playing football with a coke bottle or some other crap. There are plenty of good people, who I am glad to stop for a chat with, but I think I have just about had enough of the family stand.
Indeed. I speak from experience, I married one of these sad folk.
But they're not letting me live are they, they're getting in the bloody way and spoiling my enjoyment of the game.
Oh that's right I didn't think of that, our players must be getting really stressed when some people leave early.

Like you I never leave early, in fact I'm still sitting in my seat in the WSU.
What do you want them to do, fly vertically out of their seats and land safely in the bus queue?
Wait till the final whistls or leave quickly, not stand in front of the vomitory for ten minutes.

Do you think this makes you more of a fan than someone who leaves on 80 mins? One page in and someone couldn't resist posting that they went to Gillingham. 5-2 down away to Bristol city was the last time I left a match early did that disrespect the team or make me a bad fan?

They're pushing for a winner and want your support whilst your heading for the exit, yes it definitely is worthy of a

I left West Ham after 13 minutes. Poyet got it so wrong I wasn't waiting around to see that.

And there we have it, supporters can do what they want and shouldn't expect grief from gob shite morons.
Yes it does make him a better fan, surely that goes without saying? If you leave at 80 minutes you are literally a part-time supporter. I'm not moaning or anything; it's a free country and if you want to leave before the end that is entirely your choice and it really isn't a problem - but the best fans/supporters stay to the end. You can't have it both ways.
PS - And by the same token anybody who goes to every home game but leaves regularly on 80 minutes is a better fan than me as I rarely go at all!

An early leaver yesterday was edging down the row in front of me just as there was a bit of goalmouth action ( I'm in the south end of the east lower ) , and decided it was perfectly acceptable to stand in front of me and my boys and block our view, to be fair he was apologetic when I pointed out his mistake, but still........

When I'm lucky enough to get the chance to go to a game I don't want to miss a second. I literally can't tear my eyes away from the pitch, because I love the game and I love the team. Why anyone would spend their hard earned money if they're not that bothered about seeing it to the end is beyond me. Still, each to their own... as long as they piss off out of my way quickly.

You don't have to attend matches to be a better fan, supporting your team of choice is in your blood not guided by how many games you go to. I think this is my point.
Hmm interesting, if that's your opinion then fair enough but I would disagree. After all 'fan' is short for 'fanatic', and whilst I call myself a Brighton fan I rarely go to games and I'm quite prepared to admit that the people who go week in week out are much better fans than me - and the ones who stay to the end are, by definition, more fanatical than those who leave early.
I guess it's an extension of the whole 'fans or customers' debate - are you a Brighton fan, customer, supporter or follower? (And certainly the early leavers can claim to be just as good customers as those who stay to the end). From my point of view come the end of the season and they're allocating play-off final tickets (if we get there!) I don't expect to be at the front of the queue.
Even bushy's a better Brighton fan than me - and he supports Chelsea!

I disagree, all the early leavers should face the fact they are shit fans and have no right to complain about any verbal abuse directed at them.
You should have heard what the rangers fans who were down 2 weeks ago thought about you.
Goodness, this is an embarrassing post! "Face the facts" lol. Proper joker.
Most thumbs of the entire thread though, cheers pal. xx
