Why the hell do people start leaving with 5 minutes to go

Recommended Posts

Meh.

If it's a mid-week game I do leave my seat a couple of minutes before the end of the game to watch the rest in the concourse, so I can peg it at the final whistle. Luckily, there aren't many home mid-week games this season. I don't hang about on the stairs though, as that's just annoying and it happens where I sit EVERY FRIGGING GAME.

I don't live in Leicestershire so the difference between getting home at just before 11 and half 11 is a big one for me, especially when I have to get up early for work the next day (need my beauty sleep and that). Never missed a late goal doing it this way, but I didn't realise you had to say in your seat until the final whistle to determine whether you're a 'proper' fan or not.

Hello, by the way, I realise I haven't posted on here for about 10 years.

 

Welcome back Katy :D

Thanks Stan :D although it may well be one of my 'post once every three years' fleeting visits!

I'm sure Mark has a database full of them to use against us all at some point. I'm fairly sure some of the stuff he has could get a few people on here arrested lol

There's a woman and her fella who sit in SK3 on same row as me and they always leave about 10 minutes before they end. Don't understand it. My mind boggles!

 

My 70 year old parents do this, they leave bang on 80 mins.

 

They do this because

 

1, my mother does not have great mobility and with 30,000 people all leaving together would cause her problems if she was knocked.

 

2, they live 23 miles away and the idiots at the council in conjunction with LCFC, for some reason decide to close the roads until 30 mins after the game has finished, even though they pay £150 a year to park in the car park.

 

If they did not leave at 80 mins, they would add an extra 1hr 30 mins on to their total travel time.

 

My parents have been season ticket holders for over 20 years and do not wish to leave with 10 mins to go, but due to draconian car park officials and an idiot council (and to a less extent health reasons) have to.

 

Please don't judge others without knowing the full story.

But You can't be serious about the rest surely
