I didn't see anyone leaving? But it was obviously you - feeling lonely now aren't you?

I left in 1980 (I’ve missed quite a few)

Yes, I admit I left. With my father having reduced mobility issues at the moment, I wanted to be sure we’d be able to get on a bus

Last Tuesday two blokes left their seats for a beer after 23 minutes and didn’t return until ~65 minutes.

Head says great - it’s ticket sales to the club. Heart say what is the point? How is that in anyway supporting the team and players.

Re the OP; I’ve never understood people leaving early.

Gates don’t open for half an hour anyway! Stay and clap the team off.

It's horses for courses I suppose. I knew a bloke who ALWAYS left at 90 minutes (regardless of added on time), as he had a disabled mate and they wanted to beat the traffic.

I, personally, have been in the Vauxhall tavern at 3.55 in the past, so I'm in no place to pass judgement.

Live on the Derbyshire border and getting stuck in that car park adds about 45 mins on to a longish journey home. I don’t make a habit of it but on a dark week day I do. Anyways I’m a miserable old bastard who can sit there and piss myself if I wanted to

Honestly, get on to Christopher.OToole@apcoa.com and change to Car Park C. Unless you’re in A for mobility reasons, I don’t know.

I’m not one to stay behind and clap either but changing car parks makes the world of difference (most weeks)

We sit above one of the exits and people walk down and tend to stand around there for injury time, ignorantly blocking the view of the people sat behind them and obstructing people actually trying to leave. Like people who jump out of their seats as soon as the seatbelt light goes off on a plane only to stand there hunched in the aisle giving you either the front or rear experience.

Fucks me off. Bloke near me took one to task the other game.

See also people who stand up until the kick off. Why? I’m sure my Dad who can’t stand really wanted to watch your back instead of the warmups ya prick.

Stay in the concourse or buy a ticket at the back if you want to stand up.

'kin 'ell. The Vauxhall Tavern
Never forget being in there v Villa, just after they'd won the old European Cup. One of our old mates (you know who you are CG) drop kicked a Villa fan who was giving it large. An uneasy peace had broken out until that point with the mix of City/Villa in there.

People sat behind me left early against Forest and Reading last season. Possibly so early that they wouldn't have even heard the cheers for either last gasp winner

The only time was up at Rotherham when we were 4-0 down and Fadz had been sent off. I fucking hate Rotherham.

Not related to Forest or Reading, but I left the game against Bristol after the final whistle with a massive smile on my face, and it was still there when I got home.

Can't beat a late winner.

I agree with the standing bloke behind me must be in his late 80s, he cant stand if people in front of me stand up I feel guilty standing, I will shout them down until they sit down have had a few close calls the last 2 seasons since moving to down a few rows.

Left after about 75 mins away at Bristol R during our first season back in League 1. We were 3-0 down after 20 mins and it pissed it down - it was shite.
