Mass exodus on 80 mins?

not suprised as we gave up the fight completly after the second half started,i understand they were the much better team,but we totally gave up the fight
 
I was told we did the same against Burnley. A mate of mine who is a. Burnley fan messaged me to say he was surprised at the body language of our team when Burnley scored their third. Looked collectively beaten at 3-1. I know that goes against the grain of some games where we have come from behind but interesting point he made.
 
I left on 86 minutes. What did I miss, another Brighton goal, I'd already seen 4 of them. I was never going to stay to clap them off as it was one of the worst displays that I've seen for years. Losing 1-5 at home reminded me of watching Bobby Murdoch's team in the early 80's🤣 However, even then and now, I have never booed the team off.
 
Lots of lost and confused people carrying chips wandering about searching for seats in the wrong blocks, luckily they all left early and we were left in isolated but otherwise perfect peace

I can never understand the supporters who have paid to park in the club car park and then leave with 10 mins to go, only to sit in their car until the barriers open - 30 mins after the final whistle.

You’re allowed to leave usually 10 mins before the end of the game. Yesterday was different because of the mass exodus.

Never understood people getting upset about when other people leave. For example my dad couldn’t walk well and so at Ayresome by the end we used to have to leave 10 mins before the end because he couldn’t cope with lots of people around him when he was walking out. Don’t judge Everyone there may be a reason or a story mate.
 
First time I've ever left early yesterday. Needed the toilet, 4th went in and have been struggling with a back problem all week admittedly couldn't be ars*d walking back up to my seat. And a two and a bit hour drive back to Stockport wasn't appealing either.
Load of older folk and parents with younger kids leaving......each to their own. They've paid their money, so as long as there was no booing or "Carrick out" chants, meh. 🤷🏻‍♂️

They very well might be and no one can fault anyone leaving for medical reasons but you and I know that is not always the case. The people who I am talking about are trapped and can't leave the car park until 30 mins after the final whistle. Even if they had a medical reason, it would be better for these people using the car park to remain in their seats rather than be sat in their cars, blocking the spaces between the rows of parked cars and having thousands of fans squeeze past their cars.

As for leaving 10 mins before a game, this is something that's puzzled me since I was a child. I have been at Boro matches when it's been end to end stuff and the magical 10 mins comes up. People around you start getting out of their seats, spoiling the view of others who have to move to allow them to leave. You wouldn't go to the pictures and leave 10 mins before the end of a film, so why do it at the match.

Each to their own, they can leave when they want and I can continue to sit there puzzled.
 
I was pleased to see the crowd size and pleased to see irregulars there too. I want a full stadium if possible. Sadly some will not want to come back after the thumping.
Its always a giveaway about the crowd when the food kiosks are so busy. Lots in West Stand who aren't normally there, hope at least some of them come back.

That’s not true. As I say if you leave even 5 mins before the end you can get out of the car park and it saves around 45 mins. I couldn’t care less when people leave really. Up to them.

Was glad to see the back of them to be honest. Most around me had been up and down to the concourse continuously for the entire game. At least when they left for good that was it.

I suppose the difference with the cinema is that it's not a right pain in the ar** to get away after the film has finished. Access to the riverside is terrible so I can't really blame anyone who needs to be home or at work or anywhere getting a bit of a jump on the journey.

Football is a form of entertainment, if people aren't being entertained they're fine to leave, just like they would at a cinema. Yes you might get a dazzling 10 minutes at the end and it ends 5-5 but the odds are pretty much against that.
 
I actually didn’t think the exodus was too bad yesterday - we stayed of course and had a bit of a sing song back of the North Stand. UTB

Why do we perpetuate the myth that access to the Riverside is terrible? An easy 20 minute stroll from the Zetland car park, or parking much closer if needed. Rarely takes me more than 15 minutes to get back to the A19, and I never leave early.
I’ve been to many grounds where the parking and getting away after the match is much more difficult and time consuming.
