Embarrassing fans

[hudson88]

Baffles me how some can give up and leave with 20 mins to go because its "Baltic", yet slate the players for doing the same

Almost as if it’s the job of the players to play football for 90 minutes, and the fans pay to enter and can leave when they want without it making a blind bit of difference

The scene at the final whistle was sad, only needed a goal and was just about empty. Can’t think where this would happen anywhere else.

I think it’s great credit to any fan making it to the game last night given the weather.

It's only a few month back that he was being hailed as the best thing since sliced bread man

Not by me manna

totally agree with this. I never went as I am old and the cold would really go down to my bones. That is very sore.
According to car thermometer it was minus 5 and a half at 8.30pm last night.
That is cold by anybody's standards

So you have never ever left before the final whistle?

I left on 85, so what? Was loads of empty seats at the start never mind the end.

Spot on. I didn’t even go.

 

[Parkmaverick]

I stayed until the end people leaving with kids well before the end because they were so cold with hindsight they were right.

 

[buster]

I’d like to see the stats from Sky to see how many switched the football off and watched something else from the comfort of a heated room.

Be far more than those who left early.

-4 midweek and the spineless muppets have just rolled over and hoyed 3 points away again, being led by an inept dinosaur.

The fans are the only thing good about this club

Spineless? Have a word with yourself.

Strange take mate, they are paid thousands to perform whilst we pay thousands to watch them perform.

 

[Lumber]

Spineless? Have a word with yourself.

Proper spineless, disgustingly so, rolled owa and played like a bunch of netballers

 

[vinegar hill]

I never slag our fans and defend them to the hilt, but early leavers do my boil my piss especially when the game is still in the balance.
I’ll never understand it.

 

[woodlebert]

Well that's untrue isnt it

I stayed to the very end and it made absolutely zero difference

You don't know that. They might have got a third without you staying. There's lots of research done - including during the covid season - where home advantage helps teams and having crowds in the stadium helps as well

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

So do we take it the OP never went to the game then?
Avoiding answering the pertinent question.

Well we certainly didnt get a 2nd with me staying

 

[woodlebert]

Well we certainly didnt get a 2nd with me staying

I didn't say we would

 

[Be Here Now]

I didn't say we would

So as I said. Staying until the end makes zero difference

 

[TheCat99]

Well done to those who went no matter how long they lasted. My season tickets went to waste last night, it was Fuking freezing and the performance second half would have made it feel like -20 when the second goal went in. Was one of those games the tide had swung too far in West Broms favour aswell it never seemed like the kind of game we might get an equalizer. Don’t blame anyone for heading off just congratulate them for showing up in the first place!

That's not true. You're allowing the fact that you stayed and we didn't score to cloud your judgement. You have no idea what the impact of it was, it might have prevented a third. There is research that shows teams perform better at home with crowds in their favour. Just because we didn't score a second yesterday doesn't make that untrue

Just accept it

Staying until the end makes full all difference

Me sat freezing my tits off at the back of the North Stand has zero impact what happens on the pitch
