***CITY V BOURNEMOUTH - OFFICIAL THREAD***

[City64]

I’m sticking my nose in. If you believe you’re being bullied on this thread send me a pm. I’ll word them a very carefully crafted message discouraging them from using such disparaging language about you.

The greatest team ever scoring a swag of goals in the last minutes of games and people go home early. Wankers.

There may be some irony in this post but it’s 2017. It’s probably fake news.

Ironic fake not really here news ?

Blues fans who actually go to games are wankers ? Controversial indeed !

You're a good guy 64, why are you taking such a stance when the issue is not that foreign fans can't make it every week, but that thousands of fans who do go walk out on the best footballing team on the planet?

There has to be a solution, but it should be debated instead of just attacking those who raise it.

Is it that sensitive a subject?

agree that empty seats at 83’ is a bad look, but are blues any different than other fans in that regard? alwyas see rags and dipper fans leaving early. emirates often a ghost town at full time.

Maybe they could padlock us in our seats until the final whistle, North Korean style?

Not at all mate. Arsenal fans leave earlier than the 80th. My mates a Liverpool season ticket holder and he says a hell of a lot leave early - he was the one that brought it up to me. Rags have been notorious recently for leaving early. It’s everyone.

[BlueinBosnia]

Once the final whistle blows and the supporters leave the stadium they close Turing way and the carparks become gridlocked. I agree it would be a lot quicker to get home if I parked outside the ground like yourself but the old pins aren't up to the walk these days I'm afraid.

I suppose there'll be a point where the 'old pins' slow down so much that you'll have to make a choice between leaving the ground shortly after kick off to avoid the crowds that everyone else creates and gets stuck in, or you can stay until the end, with the crowds having dissipated before you reach your car...

I haven't once "attacked" anyone who has "raised" the issue of early leavers on here OD . I am however shaking my head in disbelief at a few sad comments and personal attacks at hardcore blues and quality posters over the "issue" brought by yourself ???? Now then a lot of elderly folk leave "early " to avoid the rush and bumping and barging so do some with disabilities etc ............... why not look at the big picture before spouting off "its fucking embarrassing" ??? . The Emirates "empties" far quicker than the Etihad and so does the Swamp these days !!! Turning on our own fans is an absolute disgrace and to be honest has hit a nerve with me and IF I was going to "attack" a poster I would go straight for the jugular NOT fanny around with banter as I am sure you are well aware pal ? JC is a good guy and makes a very positive contribution to this board , I think in all honesty you owe him an apology . To finish , the club have dealt well with the ridiculous ques before kick off earlier this season now they need to deal with certain car park issues BUT with safety issues , road closers at full time all around the stadium and sheer volume of people it is a real difficult one for sure !

You shouldn't leave early , end of.

And wtf has JC being a good guy got to do with it !!? He's a top poster and well liked on here , but hes wrong to leave early IMO..not in your opinion or a few others opinion but IMO.

I like having an opinion.

Me too. Mine is that the unfortunate early exodus is best perceived as an image vs reality problem. My argument goes that the reality of being a City supporter at the ground confers priority of my interests when contrasted with those of the owners of the image projected via the media to their various markets, including absent City supporters.

Regrettably, that image has now become the reality for top sport, media value is the financial bedrock of the enterprise and its cold manipulation results in the dilemmas expressed on here. Sorry, call me old-fashioned but I'm not sacrificing my direct enjoyment of the game in the cause of brand improvement for extra profit.

My preference is obviously to stay to the final whistle but by doing so I endure the consequences of being unnecessarily trapped in a lengthy traffic jam. So more often than not I opt for a more comfortable conclusion to the matchday experience, it is after all my experience.

The road infrastructure issues that led to current the post-match transport problems originated in the club's failure to buy the Asda site when planning the CFA. Sadly, it is very difficult to see what can be done to improve the situation now.

[phips]

we need go easy on od
the guy has been to at least 10 city games in his whole life so his expertise on all match day related matters must be taken seriously. the irony that this wisdom is spouted from the comfort of his living room must also be ignored.
he'll be over for a game soon so brace yourself for more "i'm the greatest fan ever posts"
that hitman can't come soon enough...

Go easy on insulting people who haven’t been able to go every week mate. There’s a whole lot of us in here that don’t appreciate that shit.

It's the simplest way to attack any foreign blue instead of debating the actual issue mate.

the irony.

I like having an opinion as well and that opinion is that JC is free to leave whenever he thinks is most suitable for his circumstances and others should get their noisey nose out of his business.

That said, the club could definitely benefit by sorting out the traffic situation outside the ground. However it is not a problem that has affected me as I've always parked for free in a quick getaway place except for once when I missed the last space and had to pay for parking - and then was blocked in until the drivers of all the vehicles blocking me in came back - a long time.

And I'd just add that empty seats don't necessarily mean that the people have left the stadium; they could be at the top of the stairways, watching the game, or watching the game on the screens on the concourse, all ready to make the quickest possible getaway when the game does finish.

is it possible that different people have different levels on fandom? that the majority of fans--not tourists taking in a match while they're in town or casual fan, but the actual fan--dont see there being an issue with leaving early when up 4-0 or down 0-4? not everyone lives and dies with what goes on with their club; plenty of people do (lots of them on here) but its possible that many others view fandom differently. when the match is wrapped up they leave a little early so they can beat the traffic and get home to their families/friends or to their jobs or to something else. the smaller portion of the fanbase that are absolute diehards will stay beyond the 90' and sing and clap the squad etc. thats fine for them but not everyone needs to do the same thing and support their club the same way; different styles dont make anyone less of a fan. different people choose to support their club different ways. seems that the outrage stems from the diehards not understanding that the more common, "average fan" doesnt appreciate and support the club in the same manner. well its different strokes for different folks and all that.

this is by no means a City-specific problem and, heck, its not a football related problem. I've been to concerts and all sorts of other sporting events where lots of people leave early. flat out, people hate sitting in traffic and that basically trumps everything else for most people.
