Earliest you have left a game

[Uncle Buck]

Come on then with all the condemning of people leaving early, what is the earliest you have managed? And off the poll, what is your reason why, such as had to get the train, we were shit, was not allowed in, fancied a beer, got nicked etc.

 

[Braders]

half time - last train home

 

[Silent Bob]

Never left before the final whistle.

 

[maffew]

after full time but before extra time

 

[maffew]

actually have left 10 mins early a couple of times to beat the rush and get a pint

I left about half an hour early at one of our games at Gillingham. We were dreadful, it was freezing cold and I decided to go back to the coach. It was one of those games that we were dreadful in and I just couldn't stand anymore.

 

[Curious Orange]

I left immediately after the fifth goal at Plymouth, I've never left before the final whistle on any other occasion in my twenty years as an Albion fan.

 

[CHAPPERS]

After about 80 minutes.

Ejected.

 

[JJ McClure]

About a minute before the final whistle, away at Brentford whilst losing 4-0.
I've been in theropy ever since as it seems to have cost me "Super fan" status

 

[Chester Drawers]

Earliest I have ever left was a whole two minutes before the end (was offered a lift home during the annoyingly frequent replacement bus service iso trains and didnt wish to keep my liftees waiting). Only ever failed to get in once - the Jimmy Case testimonial at the Goldstone - left the pub too late and the gates were closed ... back to the pub!

Doncaster away was before kick off as Bellotti emerged to take his seat and the local old bill decided to show me the way to go home! Was joined watching the game over a fence by more and more people as they got thrown out.

Carlise at home when we lost 3-2, taken out for my part in the Lincoln pitch invasion. Banned by Bellotti but got back in for every game, before Sussex police overturned the ban on appeal.

Hereford at home for the mass walk out but I think that was 75 minutes

Mansfield - boycotted the game and ended up in Georgia for the England match

Lincoln away in the FA Cup, left at 3-0

My word I am a bad fan!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hereford at home for the mass walk out but I think that was 75 minutes

Mansfield - boycotted the game and ended up in Georgia for the England match

!

Forgot about those two.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Saturday was the earliest I have left a game (36 minutes), previous best was the 2-2 at Ipswich a couple of seasons back. I left at half time to go and sort out a misunderstanding with the local plod.

Oh and Hull about 6 seasons ago I was refused entry, after we had had a skinful, I tried to get in as a student, they refused to let me as one, so rather than just paying the full amount, I argued the point and got told I was not allowed in. However the local police let me about 10 minutes into the game, for my own safety, so in the end I got in for free. Shame we lost 2-0 and Cameron was described as useless by Cork.

 

[clapham_gull]

Left a cup game couple of seasons ago at Withdean after about 10 mins.

...Girlfriend had locked herself out of the flat in London.

 

[fatbadger]

The only time I have left a match early was about 5 minutes before full-time, at Scarborough vs Boston in the Conference during Boston's last season at that level. The reason was to catch the last train to York, where I was staying at the time.

 

[Trigger]

About 30 minutes.

Ejected.

 

[Da Man Clay]

two minutes before the end! this season against Plymouth at home. we played crap and wanted to get to the car before the rush.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Thursday.

 

[looney]

Wondering if this includes being frogmarched by plod.
Before kick off.

 

[Blackadder]

Stayed until the end last night but I'm guilty of leaving between the third and fourth goals at Brentford last season (along with a couple of Thousand others).
