bcfcredandwhite Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 (edited) I always stay till the end. I’ve paid all that money to the Lansdowns so I want my time - even if it’s crap football. Thankfully that allowed me to see the penalty. A group of people were chanting ‘Manning says stay until the end’ at some of those who had clearly left early. It gave me a smile - in an afternoon with not much to smile about!!! Edited April 13 by bcfcredandwhite Correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a day out on the booze with mates or a nice family outing to 85 mins of football before the kids get bored. Gonna say does this happen to such an extent at other Championship grounds...say at Home Park v City the other week (team on a dismal home run, not scoring and discontent with manager) The exodus on 40 mins most games here and then in huge numbers today before the end, is that common place elsewhere when struggling or maybe just what modern day people do now ? I saw the goal this time but would have definitely left before the end another day though probably if we were 3-0 down not 1-0 .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on a good run of late and I know things are petering out to another season of mid-tableness but hey…fair enough if we’re losing 3-0 or similar! I’d like to know how many City fans saw Nahki’s penalty scored as we fought regardless of performance to get on level terms. Probably because we were shite until they scored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also be interested to know this one..think quite a lot are still dismayed to varying degrees about the changes and reasons for in the Autumn and therefore patience is therefore less, more stretched than it might otherwise be.

petehinton Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 If people have paid their money, they’re entitled to do whatever they want. You never know the true reason why people need to head out before FT. Has always been my view and always will be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I said for years I don't like it, I have mates who leave early and I've seen mates leave at half time when the team were giving more entertainment than today . But they have the right to leave when they want . I usually stay until the final whistle, today I left with 30 seconds to go, but typical woman , she was late and that 30 seconds ran into 5 minutes * . This is a joke , you can tell as I laughed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I was in the concourse having left on 95 mins when Twines shot sailed harmlessly wide. Ran back in to Lower Lansdown with dozens of others to see the pen. So I sort of stayed till the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 2 hours ago, Dr Balls said: And please can we stop playing Jason Knight anywhere other than his best position in the centre of midfield. He’s become the Weimann of this team, far too good to be dropped but played out of position to accommodate other less good players. This is a brilliant analogy/description of him at the moment imo, and exactly my thoughts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNasty Filth Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Left on 85 today and 80 on Wednesday. I'm feeling a lot of apathy towards the club at the moment for some reason! I've almost completely lost interest but will still turn up because I love my club. Probably a culmination of things i.e. end of season and nothing to play for, the shoddy way the club is being run, the absolute dross being served up most of the time etc etc. I'm really sorry I don't meet your expectations of a genuine supporting football fan of 40 years, maybe I could apologise to you in person for my misdemeanours? Instead of spouting the normal 'holier than thou' sentiments, why didn't you stop people and ask them why they were leaving early, you know, have an actual human conversation rather than venting, believe me you would've got a lot more from it. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 People leaving early has always happened. It was at its worst before the Dolman was redeveloped when exits were in opposite ends and became a bottleneck. Fans would start heading down to ‘avoid the rush’ often several mins before full time. The chap who sits next me in the Lansdown heads off a few mins early and down to the concourse where he watches the rest of the match on the TVs for exactly the same reason.

It looked way less than that even at the end. I get it why our fanbase do it - I don't, but we have been meh for years now and I'm surprised we still get the levels of support we currently do atm so people can do what the heck they want Imo - but for Arsenal fans to do it after the run they have had surprised me a lot and if I was a player Id be seriously cheesed off (then Id go and look at my wage slip and everything would be ok again!).

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Wonder if we will get any repetition of "Is there a fire drill" chanted at early leavers as happened six years ago v Brentford. Opposition fans doing it is de rigeur but our own? That was an interesting turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
