Even worse when I see people leaving at 75 minutes. Really is ridiculous. What is the point in going to a football match if you leave 20 minutes before the final whistle in a massive top of the table clash.

Don't wait for me!
Probably happens to every ground in the top 2 divisions.

Nature's way of identifying those who will be first off the good ship Albion if it ever starts to sink?

Much less than usual leaving early. At 80 there's usually an exodus. I think those people stayed until 89 and then twice as many went. No different from any other evening game except a few stayed longer. Will always happen, especially at an Amex in the evening.

Not many grounds have players of your club shrugging and ushering you back into your seats though.
The tragic thing is they didn't even see him, as they were with their backs turned furiously trying to clamber down the concourse steps to catch the one and only train from Falmer.
Absolutely right - way fewer early leavers tonight than usual. Ground was still pretty full on 88 mins.

Why does it bother some people so much? Don't understand.
I have been on the ship for 48 years. Saw 98% of our home games at Pissfilled (as did you, no doubt). I left tonight at 86 minutes, as I often do, for reasons that are mine. I don't answer to you, and will sashay to my seat in a pink leatherette tutu if I feel like it. I don't mind having the piss ripped by people around me, during the game, for my idiosyncratic movements in and out of the ground, but I am bemused as to why it matters to strangers, hours after. I wasn't responsible for the defeat. Cheer up. And talk of Albion sinking is defeatism. I think that what I'm trying to say is..... sod off.

The atmosphere was excellent tonight. The fans more than did their bit to be the twelfth man.
For Glenn to be dismissive of the few that left when the second went in is a tad harsh. IMO

I don't think the issue here is with early leavers in general but the amount of people who got up and left as soon as Newcastle scored their second rather than staying to support the team. Was really quite embarrassing to watch.
I get that everyone has their own reason for needing to leave early but if you can stay until the 89th minute does it really make too much difference staying until the final whistle 5 minutes later?

What did he do? And before you say "if you'd stayed you'd know" I did stay but didn't see what he did

It makes them feel superior.
There were fewer buses at the Racecourse P&R tonight, other P&R were full very early. There were loads of kids ther tonight who have school tomorrow, and mane who have a long way to drive home, but posters on Nsc think they're better fans because they stayed the full 90+4. Give yourselves a medal.

Nor me, and I stayed.

Sort of shrugged to the West Stand and beckoned everyone to come back as they left
