How many still there?

I got up and left on 90.

It was good to see and hear the ‘I’m a considerably better supporter than you’ lot reveal themselves.

And what point was that? You have no idea why people may choose to avoid queuing down steps for half an hour at the end so best not criticise.

Nobody has to queue down steps… it’s not the back of the Spion Kop 1972 FFS!
 
Every one that leaves early has a valid excuse ready to deploy. But it's noticeable that in that in previous seasons, even when we were shite, they didn't leave in these numbers.

I see klopp complaining about the same thing at the Scouse.

I think it's that football attracts a different kind of supporter now. They can take it or leave it. Maybe not as invested in their team as they were, not as passionate. Whether that's due to age, or the cost, the gentrification of football, or something else I dunno?
 
I don't think I've ever left before the final whistle but each to their own - it must be one of the most inaccessible grounds in the top divisions transport wise. Stuck on Freeman's Common for an hour barely moving today.
 
There’s a definite problem…..

Every away following picks up on it…. but it comes to something when Rotherham united travelling supporters sing at us “your support is fkin shit….”
 
When I leave early, I always write a touching and sincere 'goodbye' letter to those in Sk1 - thus preventing negative feelings that could fester in my absence.

Something like 'best weekend wishes'! is always good.

Clearly those elites in Sk1 have never had to embark on an important journey of self-discovery and errand-running that required their immediate departure.

But surely largely its the same lot in there, just a few years on. Our turnover of season ticket holders must be tiny.
 
What’s the obsession of what time people leave with some of you?
Do you believe you should be in the ground an hour before for the warm up if you’re a true blue blooded real fan, stay in your seat at half time for fear of missing out on something to comment about that those with a pint and a pie in their hand won’t be able to? Maybe we should hang around outside for a while in anticipation of being classed as the loyal elite, yes I’m being crass but some of this looking down your nose snobbery makes me wonder if certain types just want to grab at any reason to moan and have a dig at their own kind, pathetic.

That’s a good thing isn’t it?
FT seems to have a lot of people moaning about anyone over the age of 40 still having the cheek to actually go to a match and choosing to sit down. Apparently we should all move out the Kop and let the kids have our seats.
Nice idea but where are we meant to go?

Like what happened at Filbert Street yeah. Our crap bowl doesnt help as no stand is really different but having a movement of people in the stadium due to age imo would only be a good thing.
