Embarrassing number of fans leaving *edit* after an hour 18:00 - Jan 19 with 11482 views | Swailsey | Can’t all be for trains. I don’t usually get riled up by this. But I’ve sat through us losing to some shiet in L1. Support your team (unless you have a genuine reason for leaving on 67 minutes…) [Post edited 19 Jan 19:06]

85 minutes is very different to 65!!! |  |

Embarrassing number of fans leaving early on 18:30 - Jan 19 with 1631 views | Nutkins_Return | Interesting to hear as watching on TV (to the bitter end) it looked like a huge % stayed and were singing. The commentator even commented on I and gave the fans for staying and singing. Compared to Leicester fans leaving on mass for example recently! |  |

Maybe it was just the Cobbald then. Loads left after the 4th too! |  |

Embarrassing number of fans leaving early on 18:34 - Jan 19 with 1605 views | The_Romford_Blue | Could be worse.. I left to get the train at 6:14 (81st minute) to get the 6:21 only to realise when I got to the station it was actually 6:11. So that’s f**king annoying. And now I’m sat on the same train as those who left at full time. And also who are you to judge who leaves when? |  |

Listen. I think it’s fair enough. Fair-weather fans are inevitable. They weren’t here when we were rubbish so they’ll naturally be less engaged.. We need their income. It would just be nice if they actually stuck it out and supported the team rather than yelling how bad we are and leaving. There will always be reasons for leaving early. LOADS left early today. Others disagree. That’s fair enough. |  |

Embarrassing number of fans leaving early on 18:00 - Jan 19 by redrickstuhaart | 6 nil at home, with plenty of time left? Its not a huge surprise. |
Maybe not but you've got to take the bad results to the end to fully enjoy what the good results mean. It wasn't as bad as the Toon army leaving their game yesterday, but it's disappointing. Part of me was sitting there thinking look we've only got 7 games in the Premiership left this season, maybe for a while if we get relegated. It took 20+ years to get back here, you might never see those Man City players or that team at Portman Rd again in your lifetime, why would you leave ? But hey it made it easier for those of us that did stay to get out in the end. |  | |  |

I've been a ST holder for years, your characterisation of people who leave early as fairweather is miles off. Today I made the decision to leave at 85 so I could avoid the traffic and see my little one before he goes to bed after what was a pretty rubbish afternoon. People make decisions for a vast array of reasons. Life is easier if you don't worry about them and just do your thing. |  |

Embarrassing number of fans leaving early on 18:03 - Jan 19 by blueasfook | I'd be off too. Would rather sit in the pub and enjoy a pint than watch that. It's like watching your missus get done by a well hung stud and you're just sat there crying. |
Post of the decade ! 🤣🤣🤣 Especially as we know you’re speaking from experience ! 🤣🤣🤣 |  | |  |

Goodness me. I’m obviously not talking about people who leave at 85. I’m talking about droves who left at 4:0 and 5:0. Loudly exclaiming how rubbish it was and saying “come on, LET’S GET OUT OF HERE” etc. Perhaps I should have been clearer. I did post in the heat of the moment, so apologies if anyone is offended.

That’s why I love this place…even after that loss, there’s always something that makes us laugh. Love that. |  | |  |

No, you’re not alone In the SAR we had a load of people leave soon after the second goal. What’s that about? |  | |  |

Embarrassing number of fans leaving *edit* after an hour on 19:33 - Jan 19 with 1280 views | NIblue | As an ‘international’ blue who rarely gets to PR, but has sat through every minute of every Town game for years - I turned the TV off at half time & took the dog for a walk Watching on would’ve felt like self harm (or watching said stud giving the missus a good going over) |  | |  |

Embarrassing number of fans leaving early on 18:15 - Jan 19 by sarflondonblye | Maybe live the life of a fan who does 4 hours each way for each home game and has the choice of a relatively cordial train vs one full of away fans giving it large. I’m in my 50s, so made the safer choice. |
Stupid KO time doesn't help either. |  | |  |
I still reckon people can do whatever they want. (n/t) on 19:44 - Jan 19 with 1203 views | Bloots | |  |

Perhaps you should have decided to be not such a kn0b in the first place. |  |

Embarrassing number of fans leaving *edit* after an hour on 19:52 - Jan 19 with 1157 views | Papillon64 | SBRU....If you have to go early, can you please do it when there's a break in play, bloody annoying when your trying to watch the game and someone's in the way....and you missed the best bit, the reception of the team at the end was heartwarming and a show of unity. The players looked like they really appreciated it... |  | |  |
Embarrassing number of fans leaving *edit* after an hour on 19:53 - Jan 19 with 1152 views | gsoly | Freezing cold Sunday afternoon/evening. Would be very weird if a percentage of people didn't leave early. And clearly it was a pretty small amount. Rather Trumpian to highlight, exaggerate, and then moan about this. |  | |  |
Embarrassing number of fans leaving *edit* after an hour on 19:53 - Jan 19 with 1157 views | ITFC_Forever | I tweeted a similar sentiment when the sixth went in. Got some “do what I like” nonsense, but more retweets and likes than those disagreeing. |  |
