Oh you're such a better fan for staying longer than everyone else! They've paid for their ticket, they can do whatever the intercourse they want for me.

Quoted from aaron rattray
I go down from the stand in the 85 minute and i stand where the ambulances park when im in the main stand then i go out the pontoon way so i can applaud the players, if im in any other stand i stay in my seat until the full time whistle has blown most of the time if not i stand at the front of the stand, so i never leave early


You can't sit still! No wonder I never see you.

Never ever left a game early. And probably never will


I am with you on this Wozo. Never in 60 years of watching Town and I don't intend to start now (unless they have to carry me out!)

Never left a game early but why are people complaining about people nipping out early at HT?

Its difficult enough getting to the loo and a drink at HT, if you need to and most people would rather be back at the seat for the start of the 2nd half. Going that couple of minutes early at HT means you see all of the second half. If you went with everybody else you would potentially miss 5/10 mins of the 2nd half (when theres a big(ish) crowd)

I've never left a game early (and indeed never understood people leave 10 minutes before the end of the game!) but have to hold my hands up to being the guy who gets up before half time to grab some refreshments, for several reasons:

* Often there's people I want to chat to at half time.. can't do that if I'm queueing for a drink that whole time
* Whilst I'm there to enjoy the game I don't need to see EVERY SINGLE SECOND thats occurring.. it's enough to be able to hear what's going on
* I just don't like to queue - and am happy to miss a minute or two of the game in order to beat the queue

For what it's worth if I was well into a row of people I wouldn't get up and would just wait till half time but if I'm at a ground where we're all standing and I'm near the front (which I normally am) then I'll go!

I think the majority of us have probably got up and walked out as we've conceded a final blow goal in the 89th minute. There's been millions of times we've been say 2-1 down, and they wen't and scored another one in the dying minutes, and you just think to yourself 'righhhhht time to go', with the game finishing to a handful of people left!

Given the amount of late goals we conceded under Newell and Woods, i think the players left early most games.

Can't see an issue with people coming and going as they see fit. They pays their money....................

Dont understand it myself the last to home games people leaving 7 minutes early. Dont see the point and think that the players deserve clapping of the pitch after earning us 3 points
