Of course it matters.
You’ve got a team who are exceeding expectations, giving us the best season in almost a generation. Players have repeatedly mentioned how important the crowd have been this season.
So when the game is on a knife edge, they’ve put on in a shift yet again to turn it round, and they see fans streaming out he ground with a good 5 mins left, I see it as a kick in the teeth to them.

It's alot more tucked a couple of seconds when you sit on the end and they queue on the stairs to get out meaning you can't see. Or they hanga around the access and block people's view

We sit at the top end of the East Stand and always stay for the full game.
However I can understand early leavers around us as it’s always the last part of the ground to empty.
Even the seagulls have fecked off by the time the stairs empty.

Nah everyone will leave the thread earlyCan we reach 100 pages on this subject before the end of the season?

I get back to Hartlepool quicker than you get back to Washington and I'm always there till the game finishes
Hasn't changed in the slightest for me, still get home the same time
Has added probably 15/20 minutes onto my journey home this season. Didn’t get back til 10 past 6 last night. Is a slow process getting out of the south stand which doesn’t help like.

It's never made a slight difference to us, walk over the wear bridge and just through Sunniside to where we park and drive off down through Hendon and home. Usually we're back in Hartlepool by 6, sometimes it's a little later but the time is more affected by roadworks than it is crowd size
Nah. I’ve paid to watch the game. I nearly missed Brobbey’s goal against Arsenal because of some self-entitled arsehole. If anyone was to leave early and expect me to stand up and have my view blocked, it wouldn’t be forthcoming. As you early leavers keep saying, “I’ve paid my money, I’ll do what I want” Works both ways mate

The virtue signalling on these leaving early threads is there for all to see.
Leave before the final whistle for any reason and you’re the son of satan in some people’s eyes.
Stay till the final whistle and beyond makes you an honourable member of the Uber fan group.
It’s been done to death ffs.
These leaving early threads are all repetitive and tedious now.

Exactly every player praises our fans and atmosphere every pundit praises our atmosphere and we are unbeaten at home. We know this I’m struggling to understand what your moaning about considering were unbeaten?

I realise it isn't ideal but people pay their hard earned coming and can leave when they like.

Course you would.
To be fair the club invented "To The End"So till the end on days like that ?
The people who want to leave before the final whistle and then clap the players on a lap of honour didnt ask for it or sign a contract!

in fairness to the poster you replied to it does seem a steady stream towards the end of the game so not just a few seconds.
it doesn't affect us as we chose the middle of the row when the stadium got built for exactly this reason but i can see how it would annoy folk.

I never leave early, but 8:15 kick off v Liverpool with a 7 year old in tow will mean leaving slightly earlier

That's exactly what annoys me as well. On Saturday, the aisles in the concourse were packed in injury time with people leaving so could barely see owt towards the south stand end. Basically had to stand up which then means everyone behind me has to stand up.

Love this post mate, absolutely 100% correct
Could see the Villa fans leaving early today; however, it only happens at Sunderland though, read it on here....

I sit about 8 seats in , there’s a few around us that leave early, I stand up and let them past and just say see you next match, it’s literally a few seconds per person maximum.
I wouldn’t let it annoy me to be honest.

The reason for posting is that the thread basically suggests that anyone leaving early is not a true fan, so I wanted to show that sometimes people have genuine reasons. I admit this doesn't apply to everyone and when I do leave early I don't stop and stand in people's way. However, imo, the worst part is people arriving late at the start of nith halves and leaving their seats around the 35-40 minute mark because of the need to drink. Now that is inexcusable imo, but whatever I or anyone else says they will continue to do it.
