I can never understand the mentality of leaving early. A season ticket is not cheap, neither is an individual ticket on a one of match. Would those same people leave a cinema 5 - 10mins before the end of the film, I dont think so. Just so they are on the first bus out. If time is precious to those people then footies not the ideal thing for them.

Standing in the pissing rain for 30 mins might have something to do with it.

That thought did have me saying to Jnr, once the 6 minutes was announced:-

'If either team scores now we're off'

So I guess we must have left 90 seconds early - bad bad fan.

Plenty of people leave the cinema before the credits have finished and they often miss a lot but they will never know. Deadpool I love you.

Chatting with people who’ve missed such moments, they’re genuinely not bothered. The same of those who’ve missed all the goals before and after half time at The Amex because they’re boozing on the concourse. When they return to the NS 55 minutes into a game, they’re genuinely jokey about it, not fussed in the slightest.

Different priorities from people on NSC. Not wanting to get home an hour later, or loving the craic of boozing with mates.

Not so sure I agree about the cinema. On Thursday I left half way through the new Terminator film - absolute pants.

Loads left on 75 mins, that’s 20mins before the end. Oh well, their loss.

I sit central in the Upper West and really struggle with the leaving early of a young boy aged about 8 who sits in our row. Regardless of game situation he is promptly matched out by what looks like dad or grandad with about 10 mins to go. It looked like grandad today and he chose to leave just after Maupay scored the penalty. The early departure applies to 3pm games as well as 07.45 midweek so can't be a school next day thing.

Our whole row scratches it's head as we stand up to let them go past.

I get up at 6am, drive 160 miles, cycle 10 miles, repeat this in reverse after the match and NEVER leave early. Who cares about the pissing rain after an injury time winner !!!

Mind you, I do grumble on the way home after a 0-0 draw or worse.

Why do you stop 10 miles from the AMEX and cycle? Am I missing something?

Why do you not drive at least 168 miles each way? :D
