Yes, very near the end judging it by the momentum of the play. Luckily I've only ever missed one Albion goal ... the meaningless equaliser at home to Derby last April.

Do you leave games early?

No, but I arrive late instead

I have been known to nod off late at night watching the game on the computer after a long day.
I suppose that could be seen as leaving early.

From 1987 to present day, I have never left early. Doesn't make a me a superfan, but the question was asked, so I've answered it!

Not normally one to link to old threads, not even ones in NSC Gold, but [MENTION=4702]pornomagboy[/MENTION] will remain disappointed with THIS effort...

Once that really sticks in my mind. Bristol Rovers and Cloughies home defeat 2:8 I left at half time and sat at Hove train station waiting for a train.
Now I'm in my seat until the final whistle. Bad games I'm away on the whistle to get the shuttle bus, good games I cheer the team off and have a post match pint.

more often than not yes. I hate traffic and crowds of people walking.
I've only ever left early once and that was the Millwall game the season before last. Shit game and nasty atmosphere. When it kicked off in the away end I decided to cut my losses as I had my son with me and didn't fancy getting caught up in that if it kicked off again in the queue for the trains.

No I don't. It's too bloody expensive to miss the end of the games. I'd rather be at a game than at home.

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Saturday games, no as I'll stay and have a beer afterwards, not driving and friends don't need to rush home.
Midweek games, maybe aye. Train connections can be hit and miss so often leave the car in Lewes, particularly if bringing grandson on a school night. So no beer, need to get the lad home at a reasonable hour and queuing isn't my favourite thing, particularly in bad weather.
Amex, like any out of town ground, suffers as you can't just wander straight off into town afterwards. Getting away from the ground likely involves a queue of some sort which a good number of people don't fancy for whatever reason.

Total and utter respect to anybody who attends midweek games and who doesn't live in the immediate vicinity and who has to rely on the scrum for the trains to get home. If I didn't live three miles down the road, I certainly wouldn't do it.

Not seen such Bravery!
The last game I remember leaving early was the Sami game vs Millwall because I was seething he hadn't been sacked and hated watching the ongoing debacle.
I think I left at half time.

Saturday was crap, the game, the weather, my boy just started year two so was knackered after first week back at school and having been made to do football training in the morning. He was a grumpy wee swine so we left at 83 mins as he needed the loo and was moaning.
With kids sometimes you just have to go but I have been known to slip out between the 88th and 90th min if the game has nothing left in it when my kids aint there, it takes me about 40 mins to get home from when I get to Mill Road so that is in the back of my mind. I sing and shout encouragement throughout the game and I pay my money the same as everyone else. Sorry if that upsets anyone.
