Early leavers and final whistle on Sunday

I’ve stayed to the end most games, but soon as that 3rd goal went in I needed to leave and have a stiff wine

Same, first time this year I’ve early this season. Nice to be home in half an hour rather than sitting in traffic for an extra 45 mins

I think a lot depends on the game situation too mind. A goal down when we’re pushing for an equaliser is different to 3-1 with that performance.

RLB said himself that the game was gone at 3-1.

It does depend on the game state, for sure, but I think it’s easy to stay to the end when there’s a goal in it or we’re winning - it doesn’t really ask much of you as a supporter; it’s when that 3rd goes in and we’re all regretting our life choices that the support is tested. If we were losing 5-0 on a pisswet freezing midweek night and people were leaving early it’d be more understandable but it’s 4pm on a mild Sunday afternoon.

We have about 30k “hardcore” fans, the ones who turned up week in week out in league one.

The rest are just fair weather fans, they’ll turn up when the going is good but don’t expect them to hang around when the teams not performing.
 
I’ve been completely anti this and other threads of this ilk but today, there was hardly any bugger left and the lad behind me rightly said there’ll be 15 minutes left with the added-time, after they’d scored their 3rd.

Loads of toxic fuckers there today. Like I said earlier, argy bargy all over the concourse between fans.

The way one fella was going on in p12 was laughable

Two blokes sit behind me. Twist for 80 minutes every week and then get up to leave. Only seem to slag off anyone who played for us in the Championship too for absolutely nothing. Don’t recall seeing them there in L1 or the Champ. Tbh going to games in the Premier League is so much less enjoyable in so many ways, mainly down to entitled arseholes who only turn up when times are good.
