Queuing to START a journey - in fact, merely the first leg of a journey - isn't fun for anyone.
As above, it would be marginally less annoying if the waiting was ON one of the empty buses, rather than standing waiting for the front bus to get out of the car park before you...
It's only been that long twice - once last season when we came from WSU, then once last month (from ESL) where we got to watch the coach park empty before we even got on a bus.
The other times? We left early.
30min (or more) standing in the elements with an 8-year-old is not ideal (before a 80min drive home). Especially so when empty buses are waiting but can't be loaded until the front one has exited. Would be much better if they were lined up side-by-side and loaded instantly.

In fact getting out of work and TO a match on time can be a lottery thanks to Southern Rail.
