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.

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

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

Your mum? 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!

But to film the gumping would mean you would have to gump yourself to get ahead of the gumpers to get them on film

It's a dilemma for sure. Maybe I'll simply outsource the task to the camera crew that had their cameras pointed at the North Stand for the entire Coventry match

 

[Rogero]

Do they leave early at the cinema or theater I wonder?

Are you from the States?

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.

Same for me in terms of exercise and running (though the earlier beers probably numb the pain!). I plug in BBC sussex commentary, leave on 90 mins and bomb it. Feel guilty, nah, in getting home in good time for the family. Neither leavers or remainders are wrong, we all value things differently thank goodness. Anyways, at least we all share getting out of our armchairs to watch live football in stadia not just on the tv.

 

[Lush]

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.

I vote for SMUGGLES

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.

 

[Stat Brother]

It'll be interesting to see how many gumpees we have this week, what with it being a Sunday lunchtime kick off.
I think the Stats will refrain from gumping, this week, and have a little (Turner &) mooch around the Northstand.

The no-lifers are in fact fulfilling their potential. Hanging around in cold concrete concourses after games, downing further gallons of alcohol, whilst angry about the 15,000 who went early. Now, that is living life to the full!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

The Gumpers should have to participate in an It's a Knockout style assault course to get to the train station/bus queues, while being squirted with foamy water and pelted with custard pies.

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.

How about NORMAL-PEOPLE?

Not much point - all those who might want to address us by any such name would have already Gumped away.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I propose the derogatory term GUMPS...

Have it out with Jeremy Kyle next time your on his show
