Why do you do this?
Genuine question.
If they moved kick off to 2:58pm would this help you?
Have you ever missed a wonderful moment by leaving early? [Post edited 27 Feb 2018 3:34]

I've had people around me come to their seats after 5 minutes, leave on the 40th for beer, come out on the 50th minute and then leave on the 80th to go home.
So 25 mins of a 90 min match. Now that is pointless. |  |

personally I used to leave early to beat the traffic out of Portman road car park as I hate queuing for an eternity and getting road rage with some idiots. This year due to lack of a crowd in PR I tend to leave after the final whistle as there much traffic. See Micks poor football has a plus side after all. |  | | |

I can only think of 2 games I’ve left early and both significantly so
Palace away when we lost 5-0 just after McCarthy took over (it was actually 4-0 when I left) and Fulham this season once we’d collapsed. On both occassions, getting an earlier train back from a midweek London game was the motivator, and I certainly didn’t regret either! |
I left the Fulham game early as we'd gone down to 10 men, were 4-1 down & I didn't want to witness a massacre or Fulham playing keep ball.
I also missed Heskey scoring Liverpool's 6th goal at PR in 2002, but I had put up with 2 gloating Scousers sitting behind me for 89 minutes. |  |

Flipping it round, there’s a bloke who stands near me who is late to literally every game. Like 15/20 minutes late without fail, whatever the kick off time. I’ve never understood it. |
There was a guy who used to come in 15 mins late every week in the Bobby Robson lower. He was quite old and stuffy and had a motorcycle helmet. He used to wear the same heavy jacket no matter how hot it was. Initially thought he may have been a program seller but he wasn't smart enough. He disappeared a couple of season ago. Also not heard the loudspeaker guy outside the ground for a long while either |  | | |

There's an IQ minimum required for selling programs? Well I never. | |

My dear 'ol Dad used to always leave two minutes from the end to avoid the queues getting out...he'd also walk a good mile to get to the car, to avoid queues....I sometimes do it, but it'll be seconds before, it's quite an art..:) |  | | |

I left the game against Coventry on the 90th minute when we were leading 2-1.
I got as far as the practice pitch when I heard a cheer from the Coventry fans. By the time I got to the car Pablo had scored the winner in a 3-2 victory. |  |

I have a bad leg if I don't leave a little bit earlier I miss my train home and then have to wait another 50 minutes for the next one, ideally could you ask them to change the train timetable |  | | |

I (shockingly) missed that game, despite having a season ticket, to watch Colchester play Norwich at home, hoping for another 7:1.
Never again. I can’t understand why my dad and I did that. |  |

Trains after evening games mean a choice between the 21:43 train and a later, slow one with no beer on it. With connections, it makes nearly an hour of difference to getting home so I do leave on 90 minutes then.
Missed the odd goal - Knudsen against Fulham springs to mind - but not too often. The alternative is not going at all. |
I left the midweek game 30 seconds from the end and ran to make that train last week
If I miss that, I miss the chinese shutting at 11:30 too. |  |

Can't get my head around this. Well, maybe if your team is 0-3 down.
My Dad did this to us once, and I've never done it since. It was a Tuesday night game v Wimbledon (I think) in the Zenith Data Systems Cup. We were 2-1 down and Dad decided to leave early to 'beat the traffic'. As we walked across the green outside Portman Road a huger roar went up. Great, we've missed a Town goal.
We drove back to Barkingside down the A12, no idea of the score. Once home, we checked Teletext......we had won 4-3 in extra time.
Gutted. |
That was Luton wasn't it? |  |

That may well be it, Louie Donowa was playing. 0-1 down as we left.
Either way, I was proper peeved to miss a late come back and extra time goals! |

Thursday 21st December 1989, Full Members Cup. Doesn't say on the link about extra time, but I do seem to remember we possibly equalised very late in? |  |

Agree with you. I sat through every minute of the 9-0 at Old Trafford. It's important to support your team right until the final whistle. Never forget the "we want 10" chants in the final moments. |  |

There was no judgement! I was just curious as to what people's reasons were and if they had ever missed anything memorable. |
Funny thing to think about though isnt it?
I never leave early, its wanting to go in the first place which is the hardest thing at the mo. |  | | |

Sorry, but it's absolute bonkers. It's like going to the cinema, and planning in advance to leave 5 minutes before the film ends. If it's a problem to leave on time, why go at all? |  |

I know people who have left at half time,so to go the full 90 you must be in line for a badge or something? | | | |

I've left a film after about half an hour, because it's rubbish. That's OK, because it's not pre-planned, and not something you would do on a regular basis | |

For me, the difference between leaving at the 90th minute and bearing the traffic, or staying for 3/4 mins injury time could mean the difference between catching my flight home or missing it. | |

I don't really get it, obviously some people have their reasons, but people around me leave at exactly the same time each week - sometimes as soon as it clicks over to 85 minutes.
I can understand if game been delayed slightly and lots of injury time and transport going to be missed etc - but just seems pointless to miss the end of the game and therefore the outcome.
Some miss the first 5-10 minutes in the pub, but ultimately you can catch that up quite easily and you know what is going on and how it finishes |  |

If we park in Ipswich it takes an extra half an hour to get home so what we do at the moment is park at Stowmarket and catch a train to Ipswich for games.
The problem with that is that the train back to Stowmarket leaves Ipswich station at 5.08 so if the game has a lot of injury time, it makes it tight to catch that train so a couple of times we have had to leave early.
Bearing in mind we have a 2 and a half hour journey from Stowmarket to get home, the extra 30 minutes waiting for the next train is annoying. Shame the train companies don't allow for such eventualities. |  | | |

That brings back painful memories, but I will admit to leaving early from that one. This was definitely one occasion when the team didn't deserve the fans support, they should have been fined a weeks wages and the money should have been divided between travelling supporters and local charities. |  | | |

Yes when we lost 7-1 to Peterborough, we left at 4-1 went to Charters Bar, every time a town fan came in Posh had scored another goal got to 7 suggested to the barman he should close up before they hit 10 |  | | |

The 8th goal should have been disallowed. I still feel bitter about that! |  | | |
