RedLionLad Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 This season seems to be much worse for people leaving their seats at all times during the game. Has anyone else noticed this? Ten minutes into each half and 15 minutes towards the end of each half have always been the norm, but this season (more noticeably) people are leaving their seats at all times during the game. Why would someone want to buy a hot dog on the 25th or 65th minute? Do we have a new breed of fan who goes for the social aspect of being with friends and family and not so much now for the football? Or is the football that bad that they can't stomach watching a whole 45 minutes each way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We advise customers to apply it in privacy and not during the match in the stands . Be thankful . As a bit of a side note , Isewater's have just bought out our biggest competitor ' Squeaky Cheeks ' .

Roger Red Hat Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yep, pain in the ass. I sit on the end of a row and you can set your watch by the same people having to get up and out during the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe is to fill up on beer now there are plenty of TVs in the concourse no need to rush back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cannot understand the mentality of spending a lot of money to watch a football match and then not actually being bothered about watching it. I can't imagine anything worse than being in the concourse when a goal goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we attracted different types of people to football matches......maybe because we all sit down and the plush surroundings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citysimmo Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Seems to be the same with everything these days e.g. concerts etc. Constant stream of people going to and from the bar and many stay there for a chat. It's as if they can't go five minutes without a drink or enjoy the occasion without (another) one. Never understand it especially when they miss half of whatever they are there for as a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
