Why do the families "understandably leave earlier"? What crap. They should stay to the end so their kids can enjoy ALL the game. If they're worried about the crush getting out, then wait until five minutes after the final whistle.
No apology required. Ok, so you did attend your first match before me ... but in your post you stated that as a fact without knowing when my first game was ... and I think you suggested that I had never been tom the Goldstone.
Personally I go to football games to watch football. Eating I do at home or in restaurants. I don't see the need to eat or drink in the two hour period I'm at a game.
You know it's a fact that snacking between meals is what makes people fat.
If you hadn't consumed so much beer you wouldn't have needed the "toilet". Lesson 1.
You don't HAVE to consume a pie and a pint at half-time. Try going to the Amex and to watch the football. Lesson 2.
And you probably pissed off a bunch of people who you walked in front of when you decided to...
And I will politely answer that I did indeed watch games at the Goldstone ... first one around 55 years ago.(so please don't claim that you attended games there before I did without knowing the facts). It certainly wasn't obvious to me at any time that large numbers of fans left the Goldstone...
It mattered today more than any other day as we finally showed that we can play attractive attacking football and beat one of the best teams in the division with ease.
Any football fan worthy of the description would want to cheer his/her team of the pitch at the end.
Just like the Hudds game. 10 mins before the end the exodus started. Cretins, all of you.
You pay your £30+ quid, you come to the game, we're beating our closest rivals and playing great football, then you decide to miss the last 10 minutes???
Look, if you don't enjoy football, then don't...
