Missed the Villa game as my wife was giving birth.

 

I'm sure whoever sifted through the responses enjoyed the close up picture of my Missus' smashed up nether regions. 

 

Won't be long before they introduce a minimum game requirement else you lose the ST.

tbf wouldnt shock me if there already was one

I think it is because some people (whether you like it or not) are aware that a decent chunk of people turn up, fold their arms, behave anti-socially and contribute nothing to supporting the team. Their priority is arriving late, spending money on crap food and beer and leaving early. 

 

And although I agree it is their right, it is also fair game for derision in my eyes. That's how rights work.

You seem to think it's sad that people purely turn up to apparently be miserable and not enjoy the game, I am basically saying that always finding a topic to moan about when we win is also very sad.

 

If all the fans turned up, cheered, stayed to the end, clapped the players off, there would be another negative thread moaning about something. It's just a bit sad. If you can't enjoy the game when we win, what are you enjoying??

[RonnieTodger]

Made it even sweeter tbh. 
 

There’s always an excuse, no matter what day or time. It just boils down to how much you care.

I get leaving at 0-4 or dodgy KO times, but 99% of the “reasons” are just to get to the pub or house earlier. That’s it.

 

I’d say I hope they were disappointed in hearing the equaliser’s cheers but they’re probably buzzing to be back in time for Strictly results.

IMO they have absolutely no right to know anything about what you do instead of attending a match.

 

Maybe letting the club know ahead of a game but even then, I don't understand. It's your ST, you paid for it. You can use it as often as you can, or not at all. The money is still in the club's bank.

I don't agree. the seat belongs to club, you pay for sitting in the space, but i think the club has a right to refund your money and take back the seat should it wish. There are rules and conditions attached when you buy a ST, and that should be attending majority of the games imo

Is this true?

 

I'm not a ST holder and I don't get to go to many games on a single ticket but if it is, that's a bizarre intrusion into your privacy

yes it is. It's a bit weird honestly.

 

I thought the owners where Thai, not North Korean

You pay for the space whether you use it or not. Why do they need to send an email post match asking why you didn't attend which, unless I've misunderstood, is what the club does?

 

It's a bit like paying for a years parking but getting questioned if you don't park there every week.

 

If I pay for a years bus pass and I don't go to town every day, do I then have to give it back for a refund?

Is it more of an encouragement email? or perhaps checking if you still want the ticket? They want bums on seats, they want you buying a burger, a pint and merchandise, and to create an atmosphere, they're a business so it's in their interest

[Big85]

As I season ticket holder for many years I’ve seen plenty of people leaving early at games. You’ll get the same people every week that leave at the same time every game whatever their reason is. Then you’ll get others that will get up and leave early because they are p***ed off with the team performance that day that wouldn’t normally leave early to miss traffic etc or whatever the reason is. 
 

we’ve all been there and there are games where you get to your car and think I’m glad I left 5 min early or there’s times like today yeah you wish you maybe had stayed. At the end of the day as long as you are doing what YOU want to do does it really matter?! 
 

let’s be honest the game and atmosphere was pretty dire today up until that last 3 min then the added time. Fans were getting frustrated with the constant passing the ball backwards even with a few minutes to go hence why most prob left.

Shite burger, an overpriced pint of tepid nothingness and very expensive merchandise.

 

See, I have been to the KP a few times.

My first response was cut, for reasons unknown to me. But no, that's not what I think.

[Daggers]

This thread is boring and almost every post is dull.
 

Everything possible has been said on the subject when it was first discussed in 1937. Repeating your POV for the 15th time doesn’t make it any more valid or any less tedious. Make a witty meme. Find a hilarious gif.

It bothers me more that grown adults can’t sit for 90 minutes of football and constantly in and out their seat getting pies/beers, coming back to seats late, arriving 2 mins after kick off. I constantly have to get up and down between 38-45 mins then again up to 5 mins after kick off.

 

Some of you miss about 10 minutes of the game ****ing about in the concourse so I am not having it. 
 

So hypercritical it’s unbelievable. Glass houses 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Someone near me last season missed a whole 35 minutes last season. What is the point? Though they stay until the end today.

[Pontus83]

I travel 3 hours each way from up North for every home game and never leave early so it bemuses me. Never left a game early, except for the 2-3 spurs defeat in disgust at tielemans, which I’m hoping I can be forgiven for 😂

I missed Tuesday due to an accident at work and didn’t feel well enough to go, I think he means this.

Eh?

 

How can you share your feedback on a game you didn't see?

Right? 

 

Same two guys next to me. Up/down all game for toilet/beers, out for a ciggy/vape at HT. Always back late for 2nd half and leave early. 

 

People leaving literally as we scored our first. This kind of stuff don't normally grate me but like seriously some people are thick as dog shit. Boggles my mind. 

[fazzyfox]

Re the club asking why you have not attended, perhaps that’s the sort of thing the fan liaison groups could ask about - “Why are you asking this” and “what do you do with the information/ responses”.

[shailen]

The only time I've left early was when spurs beat us 6-1 in torrential rain.

There are No witty memes or hilarious gifs. Just thing tedious people share amongst themselves to brighten their existence.

Traffic isn’t even that bad if you park in the right place or aren’t afraid to walk abit

Exactly. We've been playing virtually on the same street for 130 years. Unless you've only just started going you would surely have had enough opportunities to work out where best to park, how to avoid the worst of the queues, getaway time etc. Roughly the same walk to the station or the centre.

 

It's about mentality and leaving when we are chasing an equaliser/ winner or holding onto a lead suggests it doesn't really bother them. Usually you'd be engrossed in the game, wouldn't you? I sometimes wish I was that relaxed, to be honest.

I did that then.

Then to make the mood better they had closed the A14 after Kettering and gave me a 34mile detour.

They won't care. They probably don't even check the result.  I'm convinced the vast majority don't give a toss.

Utter nonsense, but let's go around again and see if we can build this up to 300 pages of thread....
