I walked past the Amex at 8.45 this morning and there were about 30 queueing outside the shop, any ideas what was going on, can't imagine it was for tickets or anything like that.

You should have waved. . . yep I was there - moving tickets in the East stand, so that I can see 90 minutes of game rather than missing first 5, last 5 of first half, first 5 of second half, and last 10 whilst people arrive late, leave early, but stop just next to the exit to make sure they do not miss anything - blocking my view! Anyway - all sorted for next season and worth the 40 minute wait.

Ah, but according to the great and the good of NSC these people don't affect anyone else by leaving early.

Have you tried standing up yourself? Then you'd be able to see...

Well they could stand up themselves? Do you see the pattern?

I do see the pattern. However it's particularly annoying in the family stand where loads of kids consequently can't see the action. It's not like the old days in the chicken run when as kids we'd all congregate at the front on a milk crate you know.

A friend of mine who has Parkinsons moved his seat last year to move away from the centre of a block to an aisle seat so that he did not affect/annoy those sat around him due to his shaking and uncontrollable twitches etc caused by his medcation). Now he gets totally ****ed off with those who are constantly late, or leave early as he is up and down on his feet for the first and last 5 minutes of each half.

Yeh but if you did, something might get done about it.

Pot meet kettle.

ooh, I hope you're not casting that at me, since you mentioned it on the AR a couple of years back I diligently stay in my seat till the whistle (unless I have no choice). Rather annoyingly, when we chose our seats, we believed them to be on the end of a row, as that is how the plan showed them.

You left early at half time during a match in January. It was noted.
