Don't think we can talk with the amount that go home on the 85 minute because of the urban myth that is our transport system.

Well it does seem now that the penny has finally dropped for the palace fools that this doesn't just happen at the amex.

It could be that because the price of a ST is discounted by around 5% per match, that some ST holders think that they are unable to see the last 5% or around 5 minutes of each match because they haven't paid for it? - It would explain why they stay until the final whistle at away games when they have paid full price and despite having further to travel to get home so will get home later than an away game

I think that is the salient point. Many palace trolls were quick to point out that we had a 'fire drill' on 85 minutes. It's nice that now palace finally get on the TV a few times, they are shown up to not be so special themselves. Although judging by the number of tourists visiting for a day out in London's nether regions, their proper fans, about 11000 of them, are mostly still in the ground.

Turn up on 5-7m, gone 5 mins before HT, stroll back 5mins after HT and gone between 83-87m for quite a few around me.
Wouldn't be so bad if it was for comfortable wins (1) or sound defeats (1) but we've been sitting on 1 goal leads, or drawing and pushing for the winner in most home games I can remember this season, and the same happens.

The thing is none of us make out we're the best fans in the country or claim a " legendary " atmosphere. These pictures merely serve to underline what a bunch of self appreciating nobends the always ultras/holmesdale ****wits are.

Massive Fire Drill at Villa Park this afternoon. To be fair to the poor b'stards I wouldn't pay their prices to watch that tripe in the first place. American owners are poison

A LOT of people around us in the WSU head off form a pie and a beer or whatever five minutes before half time.... they missed that superb goal and one of the highlights of the season on Saturday.
Good.
Good.

I am aware of that, but surly you go to football matches for the thrill and the excitement ? The last 5 to 10 mins can be the most exciting .

It is frightening how many people leave early and miss vital late goals, I would almost add why bother going if you are not going to watch the whole game

I just cannot get my head around it when people leave with 7 or 8 minutes to go plus time added on.
I appreciate the fact that some people may be elderly or have a long distance to travel but we are having a great season and yes we need their money but I find it embarrassing for the players and loyal fans alike to see people heading for the exits.
Unfortunately it happens at most grounds now and yes I did notice this on motd this morning when watching the Palace game.

There's a difference between those that leave earlyto beat the rush and those that leave to beat the rush because their side is getting beaten .

Super duper Uber fans out in force again I see.
Seriously, I've left early quite a few times, nobody has ever even so much as tutted. And if anyone did, I'd smack them in the boat.
What I do is up to me, couldn't give a flying toss what anyone else thinks.

You pays your money and you takes your choice. I can't imagine going to see The Mousetrap and leaving early. "Do you know what dear, I don't care whodunnit, I just want to get the 2A before all these peasants". So it is with close games IMO. However, if we're 3 down and playing shit I reserve the right to leave and go back to the pub. Pretty simple. Like our cousins from Croydon.

I don't mind those leaving early if they have a long way to travel, but it's weird people leaving early to get a drink on the concourse ..
What's that about?
