I think today perfectly demonstrated the importance of supporting your team until the end of the game.

In many games gone by, the stands would have been half empty with 5-10 minutes to go. Today the vast majority or people stayed, and we got our reward.

I have heard all the arguments about we pay our money so we will leave when we want, blah blah blah but it must have an affect on the players when the ground is half empty.

Would they have put so much effort into going forward in the dying stages of the game today if there had only been 15000 left in the ground? I doubt it very much.

Absolute nobs, its a shame the club cannot have the turnstyles on reverse so people have to swipe out, that way these cunts can be accounted for and taken off the eligibility list when buying tickets for finals.

One in front of me left whilst they we waiting to take the penalty! I wonder why they bother coming at all

Leaving before the end is a fucking no no. Always has been. Always will be.
"Oh i need to beat the traffic, Get somewhere, blah blah de fucking blah, bleat bleat"
Then don't fucking go to a football ground you twat! Duh - there's lots of people and cars and buses and stuff and its slow getting out...
give your ticket to someone who gives a fuck

The guy next to me is a season ticket holder with his Mrs.
The board went up with how much added time, and she said "Come on then, lets get going." as she usually does, and he usually complies and they leave.
Yesterday he questioned her and had a mini argument about staying as it was so close. Luckily for him they stayed, after we won the penalty, waiting for it to be taken, turned and said "Bet you're glad you stayed now!"

I've said in this thread I don't leave early, I don't think anyone should, but understand they do. However I cannot comprehend how anyone would leave or want to leave with the game so tight. Really does boggle the mind.

whenever i go for a piss at half time im in a queue 5-6 deep and when ur burstin at the seams it makes sense to go a bit before the halftime whistle!!!

We going to go over this......again.......and again........and again!

i fucking didn't even go yesterday, so i can't talk any shit on folks that actually attended, regardless of their bladders, or disabled relatives, or henpecking/overbearing wives, etc....

i didn't even realise it was halftime yesterday! just came out of nowhere haha
I never ever leave early, nearly got burned in 99 but luckily got back in...

Strange analagy I know, but I'm bored of my usual one...

Imagine it's your Son'a/Daughter's first Christmas Nativity Play at school, you want to go along to show your support to your spawn, but then you leave ten minutes before the big finale, encore and final bow etc.... What must your child think when they come out and bow to thank the crowd and they can't see your face anywhere.... not only have you missed the big finale, but your child is gutted to learn that their father/mother hasn't stayed to see the end of the show, purely because they want to get out of the car park 10 minutes before everyone else!!!!

I said to my mate next to me. I can't believe people are leaving early when its 2-2 in a game like this!!!

Now people can do whatever they want to do, so I won't say they're wrong, but I wouldnt do it! I pay my money, and I want to get my moneys worth, and I want to see as much of the match as is humanly possible!

I'd hate to think how I would feel if I had left early and then found out that I had missed possible our most important goal of the season, just because I wanted to get home 10 minutes quicker than I otherwise would do!

Whilst I agree with this and always stay til the end, everyone could easily have stayed to watch a heartbreaking defeat if Defoe were any good.

That said, the atmosphere at the end and the way everyone stuck around to clap the team off should have been a decent reminder to the early darts that this is what they're missing.

At least your honest 20,000 other did 1 and according to every blue 250,000 came back !

[Paul68]

Thought this deserves resurrecting after THE match. (not that I'm saying anyone did 'cos I wasn't watching the crowd)

but

NEVER leave before the end... you have been warned!

There were pictures on SSN of fans who had left early climbing back into the stadium!

[Ted Hughes]

I don't think many left. I saw a few go up but it was possibly for a piss or to kick things because a lot came back whilst it was still 1-2.

That is quite possibly me David in the shit then if they have anyway of indentifiying people

Was there a mid 20s lad arguing with police then climbing over the second tier of the walk way?

[MARKMAKAVELI]

Guy infront of us leaves ten mins before the end every match.

He did it again the other day.

At least he beat the traffic!! Yesssss! Cunt.
