Crikey, arsonist? That's a strong reaction to getting soaked at our rubbish ground!

The Mansfield fans walkout at the Goldstone is surely the only time anyone has ever left a game early?
West Ham away. Left after 15 minutes. Poyets team selection was terrible.
People were still coming in as I left.
This game for me too. Left 15 minuets into the second half when we were about 5 down. Team selection was awful. Worst I've ever seen Brighton play, and I'm including Burnley away two years ago. Ended up having a day out in London instead. I was right at the front too, so I got a first class view of Brezovan trying to catch a football
Only away game I've ever left before the final whistle.
One of those for me, too. The game under Peter Taylor which was, I think, on a Thursday night. Left after an hour with us four-nil down. I think the game was live on TV.
Have never left a game early since.
Half time against Arsenal in FA cup so much better sitting in the pubOK I am not talking about the 5 or 10 minutes early discussion we have had on here recently, where people have left early to avoid the crush / catch a bus / train, etc.
I am talking about when you have been so royally fed up with the performance that you upped and left.
The only time I can think back to when I have done this was back in the days when we were briefly top-flight, in the early 80s (I stand to be corrected if some of the details are incorrect, but this is my recall of the day in question).
We were playing Oxford United in the FA Cup at The Goldstone. Oxford at the time were bottom division, so this should have been a walkover for us. However, by half-time we were 0-3 down and with the boos and calls of "what a load of rubbish" ringing round the ground I left at half-time!
The joke was on me though, as I walked back to the car, parked at Hove Park, I realised I had left my Dad in the ground, who had the car keys - so I had to spend the second half sitting on the bonnet of the car, waiting for the final whistle. We drew the second half 0-0, so hey, not so bad.
I am sure there will be someone out there who can beat leaving at half time, so let's hear it.

Wasnt it Hereford?

Why would that be the only one?
