A lot of people seem to be taking this thread far too seriously. Surely the comedy value fo the phrase to Gump is what was intended. I don't think the OP was really trying to insult anyone. After all being called a gumper for running for a train/bus/car is hardly very insulting is it.
What's interesting is what those people do with the extra time they have saved once they are the first ones home from the match.
Have sex? No.
Study school assignments? No
Talk to the family and enjoy their company? No
Call your mother/father? No
Get much needed sleep? No
Turn on the telly and see what happened at the end of the match they just departed? YES
It's a shame the transport issues at the Amex haven't really improved. There's still a lot of waiting around. I can understand why some people would sacrifice the last few minutes to avoid feeling like a tin of sardines in the freezing cold.
An underground tunnel linked up with Brighton station, only used for match days, is the obvious solution.
Get your money out Bloom. Enough is enough!
Very well played sir. Glad SOMEBODY got it
And it IS amusing to see the GUMPing going on. Just needs somebody to film it and the GUMPers embarrassment would be complete.
They even RUN like Forrest FFS
But to film the gumping would mean you would have to gump yourself to get ahead of the gumpers to get them on film
Do they leave early at the cinema or theater I wonder?
To be honest, running for the train is the only exercise I get. And it feels great when we've won. I might even do a little celebratory body swerve past an old man hobbling along with a stick or a steward in a high vis.
No, it just adds to the NSC lexicon, I think we should also have a term for those that whinge about early leavers, Remoaners is taken unfortunately, but could be appropriated.
Hit a few more nerves I see
If you believe this thread then it's a good job we have 10-15k no-lifers with zero commitments, obligations, loved ones, pets and gardens to water, else the stadium would be completely empty. We should all be thanking the really important people and their enriched lives for making our queues shorter to boot
None of this has anything to do with the GUMPERS whizzing past your ear though.
What we need is, a starting pistol to go off on the 80th minute to start the Gump race
We need a word between GUMPER and NO-LIFER for people who wait for the final whistle to blow before proceeding in an orderly fashion to their transport.

Then we need a POLL.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I propose the derogatory term GUMPS...
