If I'd have left the cinema with 5 minutes to go I'd not have known that ET found his way home . if I'd left the sixth sense and missed out that Bruce Willis was a ghost . Or the planet of the apes when charlton Heston rode along the beach to find out he was back on earth ,you just wouldn't do it . If I went to the opera I'd have to wait for the fat lady to sing , even if you went to Wimbledon and watched 4 sets between bjorg and McEnroe and it's a fifth set tie breaker would you leave so you don't have to queue for the trains . No you just wouldn't do it so why
at football at the most exciting time of a game do people leave and miss the all the drama , you spend most of the day getting to stadiums home and away then the 2 hours in the stadium just to leave with 5 mins to go to save yourself an extra half an hour queuing in a car or train station ,sorry but I just don't get it ok if maybe were 5 0 up or 5 0 down but not at 0 0 , I couldn't believe the empty seats in the east stand when watching the game back on tv tonight even the commentator mentioned it
So incredibly tedious! Some people have to leave early - get over it! They've still paid their money, they've still helped the club and they've still supported their team for 85 minutes of the 90. It may be that they regret it sometimes (like Doncaster and yesterday) but that's a decision they make - probably for a very good reason.
