JammyOne Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Stay there to the bitter end i see your passion mate, as you get older you leave early because you know there is no way back, players think like fans and they know the score they would do the same, Players when playing do not look up to the stands and think they are not true fans because there leaving now. I see what you mean Sir, but surely you're there to support your team, no matter what happens. It's not just about winning the game or coming away with points. Well I mean, that's my view.

FanaticRed Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 People just shouldn't buy a ticket if they intend on leaving early. Pisses me off, bloody glory hunters - not real supporters. I think you should keep your mouth shut you little runt! my oldman hasnt missed a game for 40 years & even he left early yesterday... how dare you insult his & others like his support to this football club?

Lew-T Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 That's right maybe a bit harsh saying your not a true fan I take that back but if you chose to leave early and you know who you are. Leave walking up and over to stop disturbing some fans that wish to watch till the end. It's not just yesterday and it happens every game and when one of you early leavers wished to tell a fellow fan to **** off when he's asking you in a respectful manner to move along please. People leave early but then they stop to watch and block our view. Maybe the club should give us a discount for sitting in front row of the doman So your the fella who told me to sit down when I was simply applauding a city player at home against Southampton this season.

JammyOne Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Why call me Sir? You said 'as you get older...'. I was being friendly. Never mind.

In all fairness, I don't care about your old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somersetcity Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Why do people leave early anyway? It really annoys me when so-called City fans get up with 10 mins to go and disrupt everyone else. Get behind the team, don't turn your back! If you are that worried about beating the traffic, don't bother coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 The problem with the Dolman is that it's the biggest stand at Ashton Gate but with only 2 exits and it takes an eternity to get out of at the end of the game. So it seems everyone gets down to the bottom of the stand with 5 mins to go. It a design problem with the Dolman that causes all the problems.

Mendip City Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 What we need is a new modern stadium providing easy, safe access to and from seats....... Us supporters (in all our different types) shouldn't have a go at each other as ultimately we are in a stadium not suited to the modern game. Finally, I did see a sign saying east end exit wasn't available but only one sign. Didn't hear it announced in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and if people were in the school boy enlocosure it wouldnt had been a problem. As no views etc were being blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yesterday we were losing 2 nil and had 9 men. Totally understand people leaving. The result was obvious. But I will never understand people leaving when there's still a goal in it... If you got work or something, fair enough, but the last 5 minutes are the biggest if the game is still in the balance IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Fans' like you are the worst kind! no respect for the older generation whos kept this club going through out the years, people who were here long before you ever were & thats the thanks they get in return? you should be ashamed of yourself BOY!!

myol'man Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Problem is, every time we play a high profile team......Leeds, Cardiff, West Ham etc the walkway behind the East End is closed at the end of the game, meaning everyone has to exit towards Ashton Road.........have some patience!

Yes, that is bloody annoying and lazy stewarding in my opinion. Hold the away fans in for 10 mins, inconvenience them not us. Plus the last time we did it someone burnt my coat with a cigarette (unintentionally but it is not surprising when they force thousands of people down a 6ft walkway).

Frenchay Red Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Purely by way of a comparison, a friend of mine sits right at the back of the Ateyo, in the corner near the Dolman. I am in the middle of the Dolman about 3/4 back. By the time I get to the bottom of the steps of the upper flight, I can see that he is out and away. Design of the Dolman exits is shocking. Great view, but that's the reason so many start to move. Not many actually leave they just take up positions lower down and nearer the exits and then of course block the view of the lower seats. Don't know why the stewards wont open the gates to the lower section until near the end of the game though. That only makes things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcott_red1 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Stay until the end and support your team then you dont ruin people who are still actually supporting the team view then do you.

A Horse With No Name Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Whatever you want to call them, people just shouldn't buy tickets if they don't intend on staying. People do this at music concerts too, not just football, it's just plain annoying. I bet most of the people on here saying you should stay and support till the end are in the bar till 10 minutes into the second half drinking.

Redcliffe 78 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Last comment on this stupid thread, season ticket holder, now and then fan, you pay the money you decide what you want to do with that, i love the attention seekers staying at Wembley/big game crying in there hands with no other fans around them, they are true fans, what a joke this thread is.

Nibor Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 The decision to keep those gates barred is idiotic. People leaving early should go up and around the back though. I agree that keeping the away fans in would be much better than not letting people through the alleyway behind the east end, no idea why the club do that.

But I will never understand people leaving when there's still a goal in it... If you got work or something, fair enough, but the last 5 minutes are the biggest if the game is still in the balance IMO Agree. Sometimes there is a good reason for people leaving early which is fair enough. But if you just want to get away quickly why bother coming at all? I can't stand it, stay and get behind the team!! It was so satisfying when Maynard scored against Millwall in stoppage time! One because it gave us a precious 3 points, but two it was also great that all the people who left early missed it!! It's all very well people saying they pay there money so they can do as they please, but surely that is a waste of money? Not the sort of fans we need who sod off early just because they haven't been given 90mins of total football! Get real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left on saturday when we were 3-0 down with 9 men. We weren't going to get anything from the game..... My intention was to get up, walk to the exit and **** off out of the ground asap. I have been a season ticket holder for circa 10 years - most of which while living in maidenhead. Occasionally I leave early - if I want to I should be able to.
