Anyone filming an entire gig on their phone, or worse, their tablet, would be the first to walk the plank into shark infested waters. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely opened my eyes there on how situations are viewed. Certainly never seen it suggested before that women don't walk alone at night because they just don't want to or that they have some sort of wrong attitude. Consider me more informed now than 48 hours ago. You’ve still never then it because women having a “wrong” attitude wasn’t being suggested here either.

Then the sheer amount of people who leave before full time, never used to be like this 10 years ago, people are just words removed these days. A couple next to me turned up 13 minutes in, left at 40 minutes, got back to their seats 55 minutes in, and left at 80. Is it even worth showing up for about 50 minutes of football?!

At the expensive cost of a ticket I find it strange that some fans seem happy to miss out on a fivers worth just to get a pie, miss 10 minutes of traffic or because they can't wait a short while to take a leak. Nowt so strange as some folk. Edited October 22, 2018 by brommy can't not can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could feel someone in front of me being angry I was singing along. **** off. It’s a difficult one for me. Whilst I enjoy a good singalong when the music isn’t live, if I’ve paid to see a band I particularly like, I want to hear them and not my own voice or those surrounding me. I think I might be annoyed if a band I was enjoying live was tainted by karaoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was drilled in to me at a young age to have a piss before kick off so you wouldn’t miss anything or spoil the game for others. I’m in the trinity. On Saturday it took 5 minutes from the kick off for someone to decide to wonder down to the concourse! Its not the first that’s happened. On a similar theme – Early leavers. If you chose to go, just go. Don’t walk half way down the aisle and stop dead because there’s some goalmouth action, or stop in the aisle and talk to your mate for 5 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 There was a steady flow of people leaving from 75 mins. Which just seems completely mad to me, surely the last 20 mins of any game is the most crucial bit. My 6 year old daughter asked me about 5 times why everyone was leaving and each time I had no better answer than "I don't know". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never left a game early. But then again, I travel some way so I wanna enjoy every minute of it. I didn't even leave early when we lost 4-1 to manure and NRC and Carson were sent off.

Stevo985 Posted October 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2018 There are stories of Man City fans leaving early at the end of THAT game vs QPR when they won the title. Which shows that some football fans will leave early regardless of the magnitude of the game. Still, I'm sure they'll treasure the memory of how they beat the traffic on the M6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
