Leaving Early

Quoted from Davec

Hagrid I stand in the corner so I can quickly make a quick get away to my car to try and avoid being hemmed in and then stuck in traffic, I don't leave early, I don't stand in front of people, I simply stand in the corner then leave when the whistle blows, if we have won I stop to applaud the players, even when applauding the players I still get home like 15 mins earlier than if I stay in my seat

Aaron we all know you don't drive

There was a bit of booing from behind me at half time but to be honest I thought that was aimed at the ref. No booing at all from the right hand side of the Pontoon goal at full time as far as I could hear.

If we can have a six page thread on the merits/demerits of leaving early then I reckon things in general are pretty much OK (which of course they are)

a few did leave as the second goal went in an am sure a lot of them was in the que to get one of the remaining tickets for Mansfield away on Saturday.

It intrigues me this 'beat the traffic' thing. Having spent most my adult life in the London suburbs being worried about traffic in north Cleethorpes would never cross my mind - I'd be a happy man if I faced bad traffic once a fortnight  . To be the traffic round here you'd have to leave the game around 6:30 AM.

Frustration with a performance, I get. Although the last time I left BP early was in the mid-80s. What a callow, spoiled youth I was - it was a bad performance against Sheff U in the Second Division.

As a lad in the late 50s I used to go and stand at the Cons Ave entrance for the last 5 minutes (along with a lot of others) ready to make a run for the bus stop at the whistle and get a seat on the football special to Riby Square.

I remember you well young un, I was the bus conductor and it was my last job before I retired.You used to wait until we pulled out and then swing on round that pole. It was a wonder you didn't hurt yourself you cheeky little sod.

She was never on the bus when I was, I would have noticed ..... I think.

I remember Golfer though, he always had the strap too low on his ticket machine and kept punching his willy with a ticket to the Bathing Pool.

Did it get longer every time he cranked the handle?

Only if you asked for a fourpenny one.
