How many Boro fans missed the 4th goal?

[Merrykoala]

Bizarre, lads in front of us sat down 20 mins after kick off, went down on 40 mins, came back up at around 60 then left on 80.

Mind you, I was glad the lad behind me and his kid left early, the kid kept kicking and pushing on the back of my seat.

Even the half time penalties for the kids were great to watch today.

Watching 40 minutes of football per game is a very expensive hobby.

Sounds like classic case of when the footy gets in the way of a fun afternoon's boozing. You do wonder why they don't just stay in the pub.

I’m not sure why people are getting worked up about when fans leave the ground.
It’s the state of some of the fans they let in that worry me!

I don't think anyone is worked up, just observing how bizarre the behaviour is and how it can impact the atmosphere

I never ever leave early unless I’m getting a lift off my mate who rarely lasts beyond 85 minutes, which I was yesterday. Also my 6 year old has a short attention span and was cold/wet.

Not quite understanding the ‘never ever’ phrase then

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

I remember the days when I used to stay till the end just to boo the players off the pitch…

Those were the days

 

[atypical_boro]

Ha, what was the gig?

U2. But before anyone says “oh I’d draw the curtains if they played in my garden” I am a big fan of theirs and it was a really good show.

Well never ever of my own accord!

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.

It's all tongue in cheek no offence intended, it just baffles me that 10 thousand people flood out of the ground when we're playing so well on 75 minutes, it seems to be noticeably worse this season.

 

[InglebyUTB]

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.

Who cares

 

[futureboy]

I don’t notice it at the time but was surprised how empty the ground was after watching the goal on the Twitter video thread.

It's a shame because that tweet has gone fairly viral and there are rival fans taking the pee out of all the empty seats. I know that shouldn't matter, but it's annoying all the same.

I know people who go to away games but never go to match. Just enjoy the atmosphere of the day. They don't go to home games either but always go into Boro on a matchday. Very strange.

Agree it looks poor when you see it. Btw I also stay and clap the players good or bad just in case you think I left.

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.

Exactly. Does it matter? They've paid their money, they can choose to leave when they want.

The two young keepers were class at half time.

The little lad with the blond hair was a proper character

 

[Davey_C]

Im assuming you have to leave early to get out of the official car parks before they stick the cones out?

Great save for the last penna too!!

Get him signed up!!

Someone behind me said “ that lad will do ok if he can just over-come his lack of self-confidence!”
