How many Boro fans missed the 4th goal?

[Huddboro]

Any speeding tickets?

Didn’t go above 70!

Regular whinge about fans leaving early. It started at about 80 minutes with hundreds streaming out. WTF! The team are 3 nil up, playing probably the best football many fans can remember and people are sloping off. I just do. Not get it/ Even from a financial point of view it males the £s per minutes you watch far more expensive. Weird behaviour.

Loads disappeared on 40 mins also, despite the fact there was clearly going to be plenty of first half added time

 

[wilkos_perm]

It makes no sense pure mental. A few do it near me and they’ve missed crucial game defining goals. Not only do they miss out but it takes away from other fans, no one wants streams of people walking infront of you for the last 10-15 minuites and then finish the game sat on an empty row in an emptying stadium.

Does it happen with anything else? Do folks leave 15 minutes before the end of a film? Would these people go to a concert and leave before the big hits are churned out?

Yeah but think of it from their point of view. We have great memories of late goals, but equally they have the long lasting memories of getting home 10 mins earlier ...

 

[wilkos_perm]

Does it really matter? Personal choice and all that

FWIW I have to usually duck out on 85 mins as my young kids have bladders the size of a thimble. If we stay to the final whistle we get stuck in the stands for 20 mins as bellends clog up the stairs.

I think it sort of does if you're needing a late goal. It gives a definite "game is over" atmosphere around the ground

Spot on.
Unless you have a really important specific train to catch I think it is bizarre leaving when so many people do.
The idea of making the effort in travelling to see the match and then missing what you actually came to - and paid to - see is idiotic, but that is up to you.
Not to realise that 8k plus empty seats in the last ten minutes has an impact on the match atmosphere and could impact the match outcome is also a really weird outlook.
Watch the match ffs.

Two blokes and a kid were sat to the left of me, and they were talking quite a bit to another group of lads behind me. Obviously couldn’t get tickets together so got as close as they could.

Didn’t come back out for the second half

What a waste of money.

I'm a so called "Part Timer",don't have a season ticket , because (a) Can't afford it & (b) Work evenings.
Watched the Boro 4 Decades, as and when able to.
Went to the match from Darlo yesterday despite the train strike.
Always stop til the end, never know what's gonna happen.

Doesn't matter if you go once a season or every match, you get behind the team. I won't leave b4 the end.

Basically comes down to this doesn't it?



Also don't underestimate the lemming effect. Loads will leave early just because they see others leaving early.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Never understand how wound up people get by people leaving early, each to their own. When I had my season ticket (many years ago now) I would leave a couple of minutes before the end to make sure I was back for my train. Nowadays when I go I stay till the end cos I’m driving back to Nottingham so it’s a long drive whatever time I leave.

It’s more bemusement than wound up. It’s an observation on behaviour which is a little puzzling but hey nobody is stopping you from going early.

I actually enjoy leaving with the majority at the end after a good win. The buzz, the exciting after game chatter. Also clapping the side off after a great display is also important to me. I don’t care about getting to the loo before anybody else or getting home for tea 15 mins later. That buzz after the game is part and parcel of the experience.

 

[TeaCider]

Actually got home 20 minutes earlier than normal today, despite leaving after the full time whistle as normal, which I thought was funny.

Big attendance, rail strike, and most of the traffic had already cleared by the time we got there.

 

[On The Bob]

Unfortunately, I missed the last goal yesterday. Left on about 93 minutes - wasn’t happy when I heard the cheer go up as we walked out!

Me and the Missus had to get back home for the bairn as her Mam had to leave ours earlier than usual. First time I’ve left early this season (barring Cardiff at 3-0 down which nearly backfired!) but we were just conscious of getting out and beating the rush as had to get back home for 5:30.

I do wonder why some people bother. I popped down to the toilet on the 20th minute at the Reading game. 3 blokes already stood in the concourse with pints. I get some people see it as a day out, but if that was the main priority I’d just find a pub with a dodgy steam and save myself the £30+

 

[festa5]

I prefer to wait in the stand for 10 mins before leaving. Applaud the players off, let the crowds thin a bit. If you want the loo there's no queueing, traffic has started to disperse a bit etc.

And get home probably no more than 10 mins later. Which as I'm not insane, I can live with.

 

[Redagain]

Stayed til the end. Walked home, had a sandwich, went ro pick the wife up from work. Had our tea watching a bit of tele.
Pretty much what I do regardless of what others do.
Don't really care to be honest.

Who’s called you a part timer? Who ever it is.. they sound like a right pillock!

 

[Diego]

I like to clap the players off after a fantastic performance and win and celebrate with the fans and watch the players and manager celebrate with the fans. It’s a nice moment, More should do it.

My mate once insisted on leaving a gig before the last song. It was at Wembley and he didn’t want us to get stuck in the tube queues etc. Really annoyed me tbh.

I would never leave the match until final whistle unless it genuinely was out of my hands (as it was yesterday).

 

[Acklam_Lad]

Why are people who wait til the final whistle and queue up to leave (clogging up the stairs ), bell ends?

Fair enough, you want to get away early and don’t want to be criticised, don’t then try to justify your reason on people who stay to applaud the team off..

UTB and BTFT…

The people walking down the stairs are not bellends. The ones that stand on the stairs having deep and meaningful conversations blocking them for everyone else are.

East stand upper is the worst…

I was at the. Lincoln v Peterborough game yesterday.
They got well and truly battered by their local rivals. 3-0 was hardly fair to Peterborough.

When the 3rd went in there was a mass exodus of Imps fans.
It had nothing to do with traffic, train or bus times.

They were just fed up and didn’t want to waste any more time watching their team being humiliated whilst listening to rival fans gloating.

 

[Drobbo1980]

A few rows in front of me in SW corner there are 2 lads around 17 who are ST holders. They came for a few games at thr start of the season then went missing for months.

They turned up the other week at half time when we were 2 nil up, anyway yesterday they turned up at 50 mins in watched the 2 goals and left at 60 mins.

Why on earth would you got to a match just to watch 10 mins.

Weird

Ha, what was the gig?
