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.

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.

Possibly your finest post phips , well done !

You almost fucked it up with Americanism,s "Different Strokes" and "Trump" though !?!?!
