Yes i agree totally with your comments Otep ,some people must have wonderful social lives to leave a game so delicately poised . I have to smile sometimes when people get up from their seats to beat the rush at the tea bar at half time and miss the only goal of the game ! . People are funny but its their loss ,maybe they gamble on nothing happening ,which you can never say in football .Great result and QPR at home in round two .
Yes, this always puzzles me, Otep. Whatever the score I could never leave early.
QPR at the Pirell Stadium cant wait , what a start to the season ! , could it go better by saturday night when we are top of the league ? ,im sure Gary is calming things down and reminding the lads Dagenham scored six against Brentford the other night so they have to have total respect ,but its a game we aught to win on paper .
I wonder if the folk also leave 5 minutes before the end of a film at the cinema aswell then read who the murderer was in the paper later.
I've never understood people leaving a game early and I can't remember ever doing so in over 50 years watching.
Great draw against QPR, a good reward for Tuesday's performance. I wish you well and hope it's a great night for you.
My team beat them 2-0 at Loftus Road in the Capital One last season, so it's quite easy.
sorry to all I left 5mins before the end had to go and pick up the wife who had gone to the bingo (a rare treat )
did not want her to stand around in the dark waiting for me would not have been able to stay for extra time or penalties its a round trip of 25 miles for us to come on match days we are in our 70 tys been an albion fan since day one another chap said he had to catch a bus please don't be to hard on us
Fair comment Mr Tommatt. I would do exactly the same. I wouldn't let my partner stand around in the dark either.
That's what we are trying to establish - the reasons for having to or wanting to leave early. Like I said, it has always mystfied me.
I reckon it must be one of these reasons;
a) Appointments that must be kept.
b) Work to get to.
c) Last bus / train.
d) Simply just to get out before everyone else.
Another oddity is on occasions you will find fans at away games who wander about by the bar in the depths of the stand and don't actually watch much of the match itself.
