The definition of a stampede changes when you're only seven years old!
I didn't say Arundel was far away I said "reasonable time", why I need to be there at a reasonable time has nothing to do with the distance travelled it's just the balance between evening commitments and the match ending...
Live and let live, who is anyone to tell someone else what to do IF they aren't hugely interfering with them?
My two young Sons and I leave early to avoid the stampede and to get us back to Arundel at a reasonable time; it's our choice. We leave during a break in play and several other times...
