jammie82uk Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Bloke next to me only saw Watfords 1st goal - can people not survive going 90 minutes without eating or drinking? I never miss a kick - football goes long periods of dross only for that one magical moment like Drinkys goal to give you the buzz. Many probably left Filbo @ 0-2 to Arsenal all those years ago :-( often thought thiis myself while were talking about things people don't understand, excessive (and I mean non-stop) aggressive swearing at football, okay or wrong? what about if you can see a 5 year old with his dad two rows in front of you? the type of swearing I'm talking about is shouting at the top of your voice "kick the ****Ãng cúnt in the bolIocks". i had a bloke sat behind me and with him was 2 young girls no older then about 5 and he was like jekyll and hyde screaming and shouting every other word a expletive one min then a doting dad the next
Karljohn Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Right behind it in sk3, a beauty from Drinkwater, only time I've left early is Bolton 0-5 under Taylor. And Chelsea on the day of Hillsboro, partly due to Chelsea fans fighting and my dad fearing for our safety.
dayday Posted 9 February 2014 Author Posted 9 February 2014 I was in the toilet at Hillsborough having arrived late due to traffic, missed our goal, was stood next to a lad about 10 and said to him (as he looked devastated) don't worry we'll get another 6!!! Saw same lad on way out, he looked at me, i looked at him...we didn't speak! Surprised you could see him through the cigarette smoke.

That was unreal that day I had never seen so much violence in and outside the ground,especially down Burnmoor Street.

Yaaaaaa, I wish 5 year olds wouldnt swear like that.
Raw Dykes Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 it is of course worth remembering that some will have literally broken their back to be there yesterday and may have had good reason for leaving early!! WTF!? Why did they have to make that choice? I can't believe one person literally snapped their spine just to go to a football match, let alone seven! You can't accuse them of lacking dedication, that's for sure. Having a wobbly back is a pretty good reason to leave early - you're right!
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Ever since I missed Craig Hignett's equaliser against Arsenal I have never left a game early. As a fan you have really dedicated your afternoon to the game, so being sat in 15 mins of extra traffic to me doesn't seem worth missing 5 minutes of the game.
Dan Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Amazes me anyone would leave 5 minutes early when the gap is less than 3 goals.
Corky Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Amazes me anyone would leave 5 minutes early when the gap is less than 3 goals. Even then if we are 5/6-0 up wouldn't you stay behind to clap them off?
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Lots of moaning around me because we were losing, we have some real fickle fans gets to me more than fans leaving early.To be fair name me a team that doesn't have fickle fans?
Leicesterpool Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 I think the fans that have to leave early are the ones that have to catch public transport, and when catching public transport you can't leave when you want or park where you want. It involves having to walking to the station first! To be honest i normally leave about two or three minutes before the 90th minute on a saturday at 3pm, purely because my train back to Nunny leaves at 17:16. Otherwise I'll have to wait for the 17:52 which is normally packed to hell and your squashed in like sardines. For a night game i normally stay to the finish unless we're losing and it doesn't likely we'll be able to get back into it. What don't get is why some fans turn up late for a game, maybe it's because of traffic or finished work late or whatever. But some fans are in the pub till about five minutes to kick off, this explains also why the atmosphere is sometimes dead come pre match.
Harry - LCFC Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Never, ever leave early. You don't know what will happen in those last few minutes.
Leicesterpool Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 In matter of interest what is the earliest time you've ever left a match?

Mark_w Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Even then if we are 5/6-0 up wouldn't you stay behind to clap them off? Even if we were losing 5/6-0 I'd stay behind just to moan about the people who boo. Curse of the Happy Clapper.
NathanC93 Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 Went absolutely mad for this goal. I sit in A1 right next to the stairs leading up to the seats, with one of the blue barriers in front and just to the right of my seat. When we scored I ran up to the barrier (as I usually do) and jumped up it and was giving it some, lost control of my balance, front flipped/ fell over the thing and kicked the bloke on the other side of the barrier in the back of his head. Absolute scenes.
Captain... Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Full Time Same here, the closest I came to leaving early was that SheffieldUnited match, the MON booing one. We got up and started slowly making our way to the exit with probably about 30 seconds to go, but we were still there when the final whistle went. It's not like a last minute goal is the only thing that can happen in a minute of football, there are all kinds of talking points in a game, a red card, a great bit of skill, a squirrel runs on the pitch... Also I do like to clap players off, even if we lose, if they have played well and put the effort in.

I sit on the back row and I do like to miss the crowds of people in front of me, I've never taken the extra few steps out of the ground though and never will do. Matter of principle.
Bayfox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Only ever walked out off 3 games early. First was my 1st ever game as a season ticket holder at 14 and had to get home sharpish was our 1st game in top flight under little. Missed our 1st goal even if we did lose 3-1. Gutted to say I never saw it. also walked out at villa away when we lost 3-1 under mon. Left at half time. Was fuming at how shit we had been 3 off us decided broad st was a better bet. Missed muzzy scoring a decent goal. left when leeds spanked us at filbo in a night game think it was a cup tie. 6-1 maybe. Again think I missed us score Never left a game early since then.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 In matter of interest what is the earliest time you've ever left a match? 3-0 down away to Burnley about 4 years ago. Think we left on the 60th minute. We were on the M6 come Full Time anyway
Leicester_Numan Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 The one thing that always stops me leaving early is the memory of the Swindon game in '87 when we were 0-2 with 10 minutes to go and playing rubbish. Thousands left and I was just about to when we staged the most amazing comeback to win 3-2. Things like that don't happen often but you don't want to miss them when they do
Ric Flair Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Missed loads of goals, I prefer to regret missing a goal than regret putting up with watching a shower of shit and being stuck in the ground for ages when we've lost. I'm a bad fan and I much prefer an ale.
El Sieffsi Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 In matter of interest what is the earliest time you've ever left a match? 5 minutes to go v Middlesbrough..to get to work on time,waste of time as by the time I got away from the car park I had no chance of making it..so took the night off. Makes you wonder why that amount of people had left as early as that.Each to their own I guess. If people are using trains to get home..I can fully understand,it isn't like there will be another in 10-15 minutes. Slightly digressing from the subject.. At the game v Derby..my Lad's mate forgot his glasses(recently started wearing them)..he asked a steward if he could quickly go and get them from his dad who had brought them down and not knowing the ground,parked in the away coach layby. The lad was told he wouldn't be able to get back in and sure enough..he didn't. The game hadn't even started at this point.

1964FOX Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 I missed Watfords first goal due to a pint in the pub needing to be drunk.
