Night shift for me tonight. Left on 88 mins to make sure I was at work for 10pm. Soz like.

Not good enough.

Hit yourself in the nuts with a hammer, and then slash your own throat in order to make your peace with the SMB. If no sharp knives and hammers are available at work then get your gaffer to write you a certificate that you can upload to here, and then sort it out when you get home


Alternatively, keep putting money into the club by going to the match but leaving a bit early (living with the fact that some fellow fan may have a TAI by seeing you walk down some steps during a football match)...If you can live with that.















:lol:
 
As an adult, I never understand this complaint. People who have paid an excessive amount of money to sit outside on a December evening and watch their team defend for 85 mins, somehow are forbidden from leaving the stadium until the match finishes. It might just be the case, for some people, that seeing the last 5 minutes of a match isn't more important than adding 30 minutes onto their journey home.

I gave up my season ticket last year (which I'd had for 20 years) and when I was a kid I'd see people leaving early, and then we'd leave early and I'd asking the same questions 'why'? I digress, back to last season (or the last 2 or 3 tbh). My grandad lives in South Hylton, I live in Lanchester. He can't walk well, so if I leave the stadium when the game finishes, it takes 3 times as long to get out of the ground, and 3 times as long to get the park and ride. It then takes longer in traffic when I get back to the car, to drop him off and get home. By staying an extra 5-7 minutes at the end, I'm adding about 30 minutes to my journey home, and making an old man who can't stand very well, wait in a freezing bus queue for much longer.

Sometimes there are just far more important things than watching 11 men barely touch a ball for 5 more minutes. Even when people don't have a reason for leaving early, they don't need to justify themselves to anyone. They've paid their money, haven't they?

100% correct
 
I left bang on 90, couldn't watch the extra time unfortunately but I've got to say I had a brisk walk over to Tesco and hopped in my lift, no traffic at all :lol:

This post alone should end this pathetic craic on here about early leavers. Personal choice, no concern at all of anyone else. Nail on the head, bravo.
 
A shambles as usual. It took 10 seconds to leave the stadium at full time. Supporters are supposed to support not desert.
My queue took a few minutes to empty from the back of the South Stand
