On his last warning
What if you're going to the toilet but are mistaken for leaving the ground?
I imagine that would be tough to live with.

Ahh yes I agree, but don’t let that get in the way of the tedious bore who started this thread.

Question for the OP:
Would you rather:
a) People left early. Or
b) Wait until final whistle, then run for the train?
I never leave before the end of the match but often run because I live 55 miles away and missing my train from Brighton is a massive pain in the ****, especially midweek.
If you think that deserves some kind of derogatory abuse, then **** you.

You've asked them then!
Must be lovely never to have other commitmentsLadies and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I propose the derogatory term GUMPS...
No shift to get to, no family to make dinner for, no dog to walk...

We really need to reduce the capacity to 20k, have 30k at games is far to inconvenient

Really? Strange how we score in the last five/ten minutes when the players are at their lowest ebb because people are leaving the stadium. What a load of

You patronising lump of shit, how would you feel if you'd performed your heart out in Quadrophenia The Musical for two hours at the Theatre Royal, you walk out for a curtain call and the theatre's now two thirds empty? But no that'd be fine because you've got your pay check and it's not as though you were performing for the fish tailed parka on your back in any case. Some fvcking people!

To be honest, running for the train is the only exercise I get. And it feels great when we've won. I might even do a little celebratory body swerve past an old man hobbling along with a stick or a steward in a high vis.
You need to have a serious word with yourself Tom if you think calling the early leavers by a derogatory term is actually going to stop them leaving early.
We get a thread about early leavers after nearly every home match and has it stopped people leaving early? Of course it hasn't.

A lot of people seem to be taking this thread far too seriously. Surely the comedy value fo the phrase to Gump is what was intended. I don't think the OP was really trying to insult anyone. After all being called a gumper for running for a train/bus/car is hardly very insulting is it.

No, it just adds to the NSC lexicon, I think we should also have a term for those that whinge about early leavers, Remoaners is taken unfortunately, but could be appropriated.

Agree with this. I walk slowly with a stick and have to leave a few minutes early so I can get the train to Eastbourne of I have to attempt to stand for a long time to wait for the next one which I find almost impossible to do
What's interesting is what those people do with the extra time they have saved once they are the first ones home from the match.
