Who Missed The Goal Last Night?

[Hillian1]

No.

But its a bit crap seeing the stadium about one third empty towards the end of the game, with thousands of people filtering out of the exits from the 85th minute onwards when the team are desperately trying to grab a late goal. Thats when we should all be ROARING them on, not looking at the clock and thinking "mmm, better get to that queue now or I might be half an hour late getting home".

The attendence figures are superb and the new fans are obviously welcome, but it does drive home the fact that we have a fair few customers instead of supporters.

Thanks for that.

 

[Easy 10]

Thanks for that.

Welcome.

My little boy was flagging near the end and was eager to get to the bus but there is no way we were going. When Dobbie scored and we finished jumping around in our half empty row of seats, celebrating like loons, I turned to him and said: "And that is why we NEVER leave early." He gets it now.

Great post and your son went to bed happy after sharing quality time with his dad and a magical moment for you both to share if you'd have left all that would have been missed the whole point of going to football to experience that one special moment when the ball hits the net no other feeling in life compares to when a goal is scored by your team

I love late goals,I just love the thought of all those arse cakes that left early quietly fuming at the fact that they have missed such a wonderful moment in time.

this leaving early business is pointless...

last night i stayed til the final whistle, went to the toilet, and then calmly walked to the station and got on the first train into brighton. didnt have to queue at all...

Pointless keep going on about it too. Do you people who stay to the end have sleepless nights worrying about people who leave early. Do you wake up in the night with cold sweats. Do you sit at work all day worrying about how you can stop people leaving early. I know what you can do!
start a thread and just go and on and on about what time you get home. I leave to go to work and not because I want to be home half hour early. I find it best to let people make there own choices in life and pay the consequences of their choices. Unless you want to pay for my ST, please do not tell me how to use it.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I think last night was one game you would not leave early.

 

[Kent Seagull]

I respect anyones right to leave eary for whatever reason. but, how gutted would you be to miss these?!!

[Gary Gurr]

Come on & be honest, did you leave early, getting an early beer or were asleep & missed the goal?

Am going to OUT Ringmer Seagull, who always leaves early.

Must have been 1/3 of the East Stand too!

Not me, there to see the goal an applaud the players off at the end!

At the game I was at last night I stayed in the ground for a good 20 or 30 minutes after the final whistle. Welcoming our new manager and hailing a team that is topping the table after scoring 5 goals. Thank you SO much for being a training ground for the beauty that is Glen Murray!

 

[Crofty]

Oh and BTW..what a bunch of whingeing wankers you lot truly are. Get over it.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

I really don't care when I get home. I go to see a football match so watch it all.
I'm looking forward to the Bolton game to ask the guy who sits in front of me if he enjoyed Dobbie's goal (he left at 88 mins).

100% this.

We know what it's like being top of the table - done it already this season. Lets see if you and the Groupon rent a crowd have the capability to stay there. Maybe, more likely not.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Have not read many posts this evening as I have been cooking!----but because I had consumed 5 x pints of the lovely 'Harveys' at 85mins I did give it large in the East Upper to the lemmings leaving to get home for their 'Horlicks' ----their loss not mine! To be honest if you are not a hardcore supporter like me, I dont blame anyone for leaving as I was ranting throughout the first half. But that is the difference between me and them! Never give up, no matter how you or the opposition are playing. Last night proved that! The 2 x pints in the Brasserie after went down like 'NECTAR'

So you also missed the goal?

 

[dwayne]

Missed it !!

If I leave around 88 min it knocks 45 minutes off my journey time home. If it was a bigger game I would never leave early for a run of the mill game against rubbish opposition not fussed.

Didn't hear a roar either !

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Missed it !!


Didn't hear a roar either !

There was, I assure you, a LOUD roar!

 

[Beach Hut]

Saw the goal and walked past quite a few who must have missed it on the platforms - ha

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

I did for the first time as it was dull and I had to be up early. I also have to get back to London and leaving 5 minutes earlier meant I got home at 11.30 instead of 12.30.

It also meant I had to share a train with a load of Palace fans. Karma is a bitch!

 

[Soulman]

I stay to the end. I was waiting in the train queue, the BHA fan next to me had to get back to Lincs, Grantham. He was up again at 5am to drive to Derby for work. I did not bother to mention that i was up at 6am to drive to Southampton........ did not want to top him
