In the Mccarthy years, I once parked up at Portman Rd, realised I'd left some ear drops at home (had a sore ear) so decided to leave before I'd entered the ground.
Beat that for being a part timer... |  |

Under Keane I had a season ticket, drove halfway and turned around and went home from Saxmundham when I realised I had left my wallet with it in at home. |  |

Never so far but I ought to have done during the mccarthys last 2 years. |  | | |

Never left a game before the final whistle. Football’s too unpredictable to be precious, and nobody's got a right to expect a win. [Post edited 10 Dec 2019 21:44]

48 minutes v Hull couple of years ago.
was an atrocious performance.
Sat in my living room by 9.15 with a bottle of red on the go. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Not quite the same, but I remember searching London to find a pub showing a 3pm game of ours (I think against Coventry) once. Picture was grainy at best. The pub was on the Holloway Road.
At half time several Arsenal fans walked in. They had given up in a 0-0 against Everton at home because Arsenal were sh1t. So bad in fact they ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.
I remember thinking our fans would never do that.... |  | | |

Chelsea at home 1985. I took a girl from school I liked. We were 2 down after 10 mins (Kerry Dixon with both I think). She was bored. I was annoyed. We were both hungry so left and went to Wimpy. [Post edited 10 Dec 2019 21:48]

You didn't stay together long did you?
EDIT: She is probably on Mumsnet right now bemoaning her taste in men and saying it started badly when some bloke took her to a dire football game, left after 10 minutes and then took her to Wimpy instead. [Post edited 10 Dec 2019 21:51]

I don't think it survived the number 8 bus home. | |

Never left games early until end of McCarthy era, where I left a couple of times 5 mins early, don't like going to Portman Road and being passed off the pitch by teams.
But was sorely tempted during the Rotherham game this season, where we were abject. Have been mostly pleased with elements of Lambert's games this season. Tonight sounded like we were well beaten. |  |

The Rotherham game was very one sided aside from the first 5-10 minutes when we looked like we would slaughter them. They had so many really good chances to score. | |

I think there was a game against brighton where we lost 3-1 or some such, I left in the first half. Not completely out of protest, I was feeling quite unwell after getting a burger from the van just outside planet blue, and the game was going so poorly I decided there was no reason to ride the illness out. This was a good move for me, as I spent all night expelling said burger. |  |

The FA Cup quarter final at The Den in 1978 was the only time I have left before the final whistle. We were 3-1 up and it was in the interests of self-preservation. Missed three goals and vowed I would never leave early again. | | | |

Hull away in either the Jewell or early MM-era, I was a bit late leaving and then got past Cambridge to find the A14 shut and diverting past Godmanchester. Got stuck in a massive queue and realised I wouldn’t make KO so turned round and went home - as it turned out we went 2-0 down quickly before fighting back to 2-2 in the second half, so arriving late wouldn’t have been a bad thing
Also not strictly leaving but remember being in one of the boxes in Britannia for an end of season dead rubber against Millwall around a similar time. Having gone comfortably behind in the first half me and mate decided not to bother going back out for the second half and instead stayed in the warm raiding the complimentary fridge - a good decision in that case as we got humped 3-0 or 3-1 |  |

Only once, got a complimentary ticket for a champs league match when Arsenal played them at Wembley. Arsenal v FC Copenhagen, 0-0 on 88 mins I left and Arsenal scored twice. Never again. | | | |

Ah yes that one aswell - although I left earlier than you as I heard the 4th go in as I was walking away from the ground

That was a James Collins masterclass, what an individual performance. |  |

I actually applauded that challenge until he then got sent off haha, thought it was a soft red but he clearly was late. You think we'd have been better off without him on the pitch. | |

Really? Thought at the time it was a ridiculous tackle and had no complaints - and I say that as someone who got rather bemused at the whole ‘everything is Spence’s fault’ attitude that developed towards him
Just remembered another one leaving early - Palace away in one of Mick’s first games, left at 4-0 down to get an earlier train and then found out we conceded a 5th. Zaha and inparticular Bolasie tore us apart that night - remember coming away thinking Zaha was getting all the hype but Bolasie was a much better player, which I guess was subsequently proved right at the time although Zaha has obviously since developed to a much higher level than Bolasie ever reached [Post edited 11 Dec 2019 10:26]

Thinking about it more, also left the Leicester 6-0 game early (think it was Mick's 2nd or 3rd game in charge, IIRC). Left at either 4/5-0. | |

I am very sad you did not change your name to "Mick_Knows_F***_all" there and then. | |
