Leaving Games Early

Why? Should be banned from football for life.

Manure and Chelski and teams like that, they start clearing out after 75mins. I've been there when games are finely balanced, and still they leave? I reckon they go as a status thing, more than to see "their" teams.

Been at Everton when people have left at half-time, especially where I was sitting. This lad missed 75% of games through the season. What a waste.

I get people leaving when you have NO chance and its late on. I dont get people leaving at 1-0 with 10 minutes left?

I can understand people leaving 5 minutes early, if a game's settled, to get a headstart on the traffic.

Personally though I'll stay to the final whistle every time.

I never do it.

There's a procession 15 mins before 1/2 time as well, to then stand watching a tv with a pint.

You see I don't understand why. Your not going to get home much quicker. For me it shows a lack of respect, and it happens at Everton just as much as any other club.

Reminds me of those weapons who overtake you on an A road just for you to pull up behind them at the lights.

I'd much rather hang around and leave late, thus avoiding the rush.

If you leave a good 10 mins before the rush, you get home a lot quicker than just 10 minutes quicker, because you... avoid the rush.

It does make sense, really. But I'd only do that if we were losing by a good margin. If it was tight, I'd stay, and if we were winning by a lot I'd stay in hope of more goals!
