[Football] What's the earliest you've left a game?

[Jaxie]

Last game of the season, 2006? against Stoke. Left sometime in the first half. I didn’t miss many games that season, but that day was a bank holiday weekend and I had much better places to be. As it turned out I got to Preston park station and ended up having to wait ages for a train.

More recently, took my then two year old daughter to a game, v Preston at the Amex. 10 mins in and she’d had enough and we left. To be fair she’d been ill, and I shouldn’t have taken her in the first place.

I very nearly left brackley at home to Harrogate about 18 months ago after three minutes. My 9 year old son had broken a finger the day before so arm in sling and we had one of my 7 year old daughters with us. It was a grim day with sleet in the air. We were behind one of the goals and an early shot fizzed wide. My son jumped out of the way and smacked his hand on someone else and the shot hit my daughter on the head and her hat came off. Both were in lots of pain and I was freezing. We very very nearly left at 3.03 with both kids in tears due to pain. What fun. Went for some chips and they calmed down.

Top story. We should have another thread for recitations like these!

At about 65 min, couple of seasons ago, when those oh so comical train drivers decided that the last train home was leaving Famer in about 10 minures. No more trains at all that night, said the message that flasged up on the screens and over the tannoy
I was absolutely fuming, but felt I had no choice but to leave.
I know, bad fan - shoul;d have taken the 4-hr walk home on a freezing winter's night

Funny enough, at Southampton. 4-0 down, saints penalty given about 2 yards outside the box, Tanno sent off for insinuating cheating. I think that's the only time I've done it.

4-0 down? We lost that game 3-0. Which, coincidentally, was the scoreline when i left the stadium against Bournemouth last season.

Short of having some kind of family emergency, I can’t think of circs where I’d ever leave early.

Before kick off
Off ones tits and thought the game had finished........hadnt even started.

When Palarse scored their fifth at Selhurst.

Me too - not been there since. I hate the place and the people.

When Palarse scored their fifth at Selhurst.

They wouldn’t let us out!

70 minutes - Derby away in play offs when losing two nil - home before final whistle went

 

[Shooting Star]

Half-time at Withdean. Three bad home games in a row and it was bucketing it down in the South Stand. Dad had had enough and took us home!

Snap.

We must have left 1 minute before you. Being well dressed, neutrally, the pigs let us out, they were literally closing the gates as we ran through them.

Heads down to the train, and home with our tails between our legs. Never been back since.

 

[Skaville]

About half an hour into the 5-1 home defeat against Stoke at Withdean. We had friends down for the weekend. We’d already been relegated and I didn’t particularly fancy it all day. After the third went it in I thought **** it and went home to see our mates.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I believe [MENTION=4702]pornomagboy[/MENTION] once left a game at half time. Strangely, that was also against Leicester.

I'd heard that but I left immediately they scored and got out straight away.

 

[zefarelly]

I think I left Bhaaaadiff at home earliest

last season. I considered it at half time, but foolishly stayed until around 75m. . . I felt bad, but the writing was on the wall and there was already thousands on the platform!

How was I supposed to know? I left early.

First game I ever saw was in 1965..Huddersfield vs Newcastle....it was so cold, raining, sleeting and the wind was howling off the Pennines.

We got to our place to stand and according to my dad I started to cry, and he said shall we go and I sobbed yes!

So we actually left before kick off.

So there


Ha ha ha

True, but when you left it was 4-0. Bearing that in mind I think we did well to escape with a 3-0 loss.

 

[southstandandy]

10 mins before kick off 3 years ago.

Got a phone call to say my mother had died suddenly before the match had started, so suddenly the game didn't seem relevant.

At home to Oxford in the FA cup in about 82. We were top flight and they were div 3 and 3-0 up at HT I think. Keith Cassells ripped us one.

You beat me to this one.
We were awful that day.
