#Alone

[Postman Pat]

Poor Postman Pat, I said no sarchy replies about players not turning up! 4/10, see me (in red pen)

Ooops sorry..... erm... everyone should be tethered to their seat until the game finishes, if they need the toilet its their own fault. Let's cancel all trains from Falmer till 5.15 so everyone has to stay.

Is this better?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I don't blame people with kids wanting to leave early. The game was rubbish, but more than that, they were probably already wet with the rain.
Who wants to queue for over half an hour for trains and buses in the pouring rain?

Live and let live. You support in your way, let them support in theirs.

it's not support, that's the point.

They've paid their money, they takes their choice.

It IS 21st Century football support though, people don't tolerate losing.

Read NSC when we lose

if you're disabled or ambulant you have to. These fans are worth ten times to the club what these pizza-express dads are. Ow, and it wasn't just the East Stand btw who go up and left with 25mins to go.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I was not suggesting that only 6000 were left only that I reckon that what the hard core is, although rereading my post it may be interpreted as you have. My point is that plenty of fans will leave early if they aren't being entertained.

Fair enough!

I really don't think there were.

Lol!

Smash forehand volley. You win that point.

Very very disappointing to see hundreds of fans leave on the 70th (seventieth) minute when Brentford scored their second. In the East especially, scores of Dads taking their kids towards the exit - what sort of parenting is that? Club should take details and pass onto Social Services to take them into care.

In the words of Klopp, the mentality of British fans needs changing. We are there to do a job. Not sit there like a TV audience. What sort of signal does it send to the players when with 25minutes to go thousands of fans have given up (and don't bother with all the sarchy replies about players gave up long before, that's garbage). Nope it's embarassing and disloyal. Makes a mockery of the clubs mantra.

So should we change it to #alone? On the evidence of yesterday, it would be far more appropriate sadly. Sort yourself out if you were one of those tantrum throwing early leavers and get back in your seat next time. Queue loads of 'I've paid my money, I can do what I want' replies (which is entirely the mentality Klopp was on about needs changing!)

Grown man embarassed (sic) because other people do something he doesn't agree with. I think you need to take a long, hard look at yourself and man up. Did the nasty Brentford fans say mean things to you?

 

[Steve.S]

But it wasn't anything to do with trains. It's was clearly giving up with TWENTY FIVE minutes to go. Think about what you're telling your children with that attitude. Maybe they're all 'pizza express' divorced dads trying to provide an endless stream of every other weekend entertainment and needed to get away early to get to Thorpe Park before it closed at 8...? FFS, no, just sort yourself out if you gave up with TWENTY FIVE minutes left to play.

I think we need to have one thread after matches where all the people who want to complain about catering, trains, parking, fans leaving early, stewards, ticket problems, anything else I have forgotten and all things Paul Barber. They can moan until their hearts content.you can be happy that they missed all that exciting action where we came back from 2 nil down to win 3-2 and they can sit at home kicking themselves because they missed the goals. Seriously tell me what difference it made, anybody 10 mins into the second half could have predicted the outcome of the game, it was one of those days, and I don't blame parents wanting to make sure they get out early and make sure they get a train or any other form of transport

The rotten mentality of British corporate droid cloned fans of today. Exactly what Kloop says needs changing. We're their to do a job.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

My Dad would have been one of those leaving early in the Goldstone days. He took me as a kid, and I'm still here. I left the Amex at 5.30 btw.

[emoji41]

so the Albion have never recovered from being two nil down. At home. With 25mins left? Like er, like Charlton last season? Or are you mystic meg and won the lottery last night as well? Rubbish! Games can and do change in a moment. Especially with an eager crowd backing them from the stands. To say you could see it was always going to end as it did is nonsense. You just never ever know in football. Ow, and pampering children makes for a very unhealthy society. I'm fairly sure it was the Dads wanting to leave too, not the kids. So that's boll ocks too.

did he frequently miss more than a quarter of the game?

It's probably the kids that are nagging there parents to leave early, they would rather go home to play FIFA on X Box, than watch our strikers hoofing balls into the stands.

 

[beorhthelm]

Since some of our players didn't turn up at all, can't blame people for leaving early. I stayed to the bitter end btw.

i misread this as "i stayed bitter to the end". having read the rest of the thread, prehaps thats correct after all.

 

[sir albion]

We do not have 24000 diehard fans, we have maybe 6000. The other 18000 go to be entertained, when they're not they **** off and get on with doing something different. The football from the Albion was rubbish yesterday so fans decided to leave early and avoid the rush at the end. It probably backfired as so many left early.

It was still bloody busy an hour after the final whistle though, I blame the rain.

Is that the same for most clubs in this league then as I would say that anyone who buys a st is as die hard as anyone or are you going back to the withdean days with an ancient philosophy ?

How many other clubs went from 6000 to 22000 season ticket holders in a few short seasons and yes I do believe that quite a few season ticket holders are not die hards. That is not a criticism just an observation.

Put it another way, if we got relegated how many season tickets do you think we would have after one poor season in League One? More than 6k?

How many other clubs went from a 6k-8800k capacity to a 31k capacity?
No point in trying to judge us by past bad times and dog shite stadiums as anyone with half a brain knows we've always had big potential.
