I broke the habit of a lifetime yesterday and left with about 10 minutes to go as I was that fed up with the performance.My pal sat next to me stayed to the end and gave me a bit of stick in the pub after the game,saying he couldn't believe I'd piss off as I moan at others that do that.Did any on here go before the end ?

I stayed until the bitter end, I wasn't getting picked up until 5.15 otherwise I'd have shot off well before.

Never leave before the end.
Will show my feelings with the team whether it's good or bad.
Tear in my eye when we win but a ruined weekend if we loose.

Guilty ! In my defence, my son wanted to go early. Didn't put up much of an argument though I have to say. I was freezing my tits off. Last time I remember leaving so early was when we played Charlton at Highfield Road, pretty sure they came back from 2-0.Sure that was the start of our troubles, think we went down the next season.

Always stay until the end but felt like it at times yesterday. When there's a one goal margin not sure why anyone does.

Me and my grandson left early for the first time. He had seen enough, and I was glad to go to if I am honest.

I left with 3 minutes left.

Strangely enough, one guy was leaving, turned round and saw we had a penalty and then turned round again and walked out of the ground before Armstrong took it.

Very weird..

When I walked out loads were streaming out too.Heard some noise and a chap said we've just scored I reckon,but once I'd made my mind up that was it so never thought about turning back.But it was a one off and will go back to staying till the end.

Left with a good 10 minutes left. If you pay for a play and it's awful, you leave, simple as that. Idiots who stay until the end to clap garbage from morons on 10x the pay that they themselves are on are fools and not needed

Leaving a game early is a dangerous choice!

Never have left early and hopefully never will!! Remember once at Highfield Road I was near front row......we were losing 4-1 to Palace at Highfield Road.....Rob Newman had scored a 35 yard screamer.......a guy behind me shouted sit down I cannot see....
I think it was only virtually me and him left in our section......got a personal apology from Oggy in the end though at end
of game....worth hanging around for......think Salako destroyed us on that day too.....then signed for us......

I have never left before the end. However people have all sorts of reasons for leaving before the end, just as they have for not going.

Let's not judge other people's actions by our own circumstances.

For instance I have a mate, one of the most avid City supporters I have ever known. Travelled all over the country. Yet in the Wallace Ferguson period (one of our most exciting) he regularly left 20 minutes before the end. Sometimes he clung on and dashed out 15 minutes before the end. Why? He had a job to go to.

Many a time I had to explain on Sunday how we equalised or scored a winner while I watched a mixture of pleasure on his face about the result and disappointment because he had missed it.

Would you rather have these fans contributing when they can or not at all?
