But if they do the "lap of honour" before the 85th minute it will be 100%!

If they trot around the pitch after 85 minutes will anyone be able to tell the difference, having said that several of our players might move faster on the lap of honour than during the game.

Well I am playing golf in the morning and not sure what time I will be able to get to the ground...in fact if I have enjoyed golf, I may not even bother to go.

If I do get there, I will politely clap at the final whistle and make my way to the exits saying goodbye to my brother in law who has given his season ticket up and patting Tony's ( woodingdean gull) seat next to me and saying a quiet goodbye.

I know what people mean about thanking players, but I feel I have done that over the season, where I always stayed to clap the players off until the last couple of months ago, where I have left the ground on the final whistle.

So I am out

Can't argue with any of that

I think most of the players started the lap of honour after we beat Derby and haven't broken out of a jog since.

Even last season, that figure wasn't much higher than that. I have always stayed, and will do so again. It's 10 minutes of your life, the least we can do is applaud Best for his goal scoring prowess this season.

Funny thing was last season I got home at exactly the same time I would have done had I left on the final whistle

It's not just about showing gratitude for efforts this season, it will also be the chance for us to say goodbye to many players - quite how many we do not know yet - but it's likely to be the last time CMS graces the Amex as an Albion player (and I think he deserves a positive send-off) and it could even be the last we see of Calde (I'm welling up typing this).

CMS is not the Best(no pun meant) But his effort on the pitch is second to none..and he definately deserves positive send off.

I'm sticking around if only to say goodbye to some of the longer serving players who wont be around next season.

Last season was quite emotional when OG was standing in front of the North Stand with his daughter while we sang is song. If only we had some decent songs for this seasons players

OK, I'll stay if they score. Deal?

I suspect that if we give Watford a good hiding there'll be a few extra thousand staying to clap.

I would stay and clap those that have gjven me enjoyment this season. Past seasons for players like Ankergren have been and gone. I hope a large number are released to clear the way for better to come in but fear not players that are past their best before date and those unlikely to make the grade. Am I alone in thinking that CMS will be offered a new deal?

I can only think of one who doesn't move that fast ...however on the way round they will pass by a couple of goal nets that a few might not recognise.

And for a few minutes of my time..ye i'll stay..and then enjoy a pint

I hope to god we aren't going to do a lap of honour at the end of the Watford game

They should shuffle off down the tunnel and try to pretend this season never happened.

Not seen it mentioned anywhere else, but before the start of the Watford match the club are honoring those fans who we've lost this year. Well the 4 blokes in front of us haven't been seen since January.....

I shall stay and applaud. I'm going to look a bit sad if they don't do a lap.

I would like to think that in part its a thank you to the fans this season

also a chance to say bye to some whom may be leaving the squad (calde)

not a good season by far but i'll give them thanks for the effort shown

Quite. The players are being ordered by the club to thank us, not the other way round. I'm sure they'd rather not do it at all, apart from the same few good guys who do it after every game, win, draw or lose.
