If I've gone to the trouble of digesting something I want to see the fruits of my labour. Unless of course you mean that you have supernatural visitors who defecate before they leave? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Do the thousands of people who stream out of VP on 81-86 minutes on Saturday regret their actions or just not give a ****? What is the point in going in the first place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point in going in the first place? I've got to admit, I was considering it on Saturday. I have only ever left early once (the Notts County cup game last season once the game was won) but Saturday had me close. Thankfully I stayed put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point in going in the first place? Playing Devil's advocate here, but to beat the traffic, get served in the pub quicker, the game is shit. I've left early plenty of times, but never when it's a draw up to the point I leave. When I had a season ticket, we'd sometimes play the two goal rule, if it wasn't a particularly good match. Two goals up or down, and we'd shoot off back to the pub with 10 mins to go. I'd often miss kick offs too, anything up to 20 mins sometimes. This was a few years back mind. Now I don't live in Brum any more, and don't get to VP as often, I feel like I need to get value for money!

brommy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've been to around 700 first team matches and 50 reserve matches at Villa Park and never left even a second before the final whistle. I wouldn't criticise those that do, but it's not something I could ever do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have, started a 3 and out rule about 18 months ago, not sure how many games I've walked out of as a result, I know that for away games I did Spurs after something like 28 minutes and Southampton after about 17, tbf I think by the time I got from my seat to the stairs Southampton scored a 4th, there were people outside running past us rushing to get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was the infamous 'Savo spitting' game at Blackburn, when we went 5-0 down. The other was a Boxing Day game at Leeds. We both had flu and felt shit, the game was appalling, and we left at half time. It ended nil-nil. Never done it at VP.

Sometimes you just know you're done for, and watching Villa get beat is not something I enjoy (not that I'm saying others do), so I got up and left. I know a lot of my mates who still have season tickets, spent a lot of time on the concourse last season too. They all said, they just couldn't watch the dross on the pitch, so preferred to stay down stairs, and have a few beers instead, before leaving when the inevitable was confirmed. They still wouldn't stop going, and certainly wouldn't give up their season tickets, but sometimes going to the match isn't even about the football. It's just part of what they do on match days, and for a few of them that are now married, and have kids, it's the only chance they get to go out with their mates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
