Sleepy1968 Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 8 hours ago, CyderInACan said: Dolman will still empty on 85 mins irrespective The problem with the Dolman is that egress is slow so it's probably noticed more, and there are probabaly a slightly higher percentage of elderly/infirm supporters. And with slow egress, comes a desire or need to leave 'a bit earlier' just to get out in a reasonable period. I always stay until last (in fairness I can be home in less than 5 minutes from leaving my seat), but there is a real bottleneck trying to get out if you try to leave at the final whistle, and I reckon it takes double the time to clear the Dolman than any other stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I'd be happy with the longer added-time in Championship games as we pay to watch 90 minutes of football and currently only see approx 60 minutes of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per Davefevs previous post 52 and a half minutes average in the champ. That's a lot of time for the ball NOT to be in play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of time for the ball NOT to be in play! You could argue though that sixty(ish) minutes is all we`ve ever watched so do we pay for 90 or just what we`ve always had?

Time wasting and feigning injury - particularly head injuries - is ruining the game. Would screw up catching trains/bus etc for some but ideally schedules would change to accommodate this.
