Don't go to games now....but I have always stayed to the end after one particular game (at home).....v Portsmouth. (1963? 1965?) 1-0 up I left a few minutes to get early to the Ninian Park Halt station....we lost 1-2. One particular game made that decision a valid one....the only game I went to where I left not knowing the result. Away at Barnsley (FA Cup) 1967.....we were leading 1-0 but then Barnsley shot goes in JUST AS the final whistle went. Those were the days refs didn't allow teams to finish their attack.... No-one knew whether it counted or not as we left the ground. Turns out it did.....we did win the replay 2-1....
Don’t go much these days, waiting to be enticed back, it’s really not happening and I’ve got far better to do on a Saturday pm these days anyway. Yesterday, I sorted out the wife’s plant pots for the coming season, reckon it was more exciting too.
Technically didn't leave early, but stayed in the box for the 2nd half and watched it on the TV screen while having a few beers. Best of both worlds!
Fortunately, I have Covid and couldn't make it. Watched it on a stream and was grateful that I wasn't there.
As i've got older my tolerance levels for watching crap football have diminished. I can find better things to do. Hope you're feeling Tip-Top and Dandy soon enough
That's a fair point you make about diminishing tolerance levels as you get older.As i've got older my tolerance levels for watching crap football have diminished. I can find better things to do. Hope you're feeling Tip-Top and Dandy soon enough
I'd never consider missing a home game when I was younger (went to a lot of away games too).
Nowadays, I still make the effort to set my alarm for 3.45am to watch midweek games, however, if the football is crap (as it often is) I'll not even bother watching the second half.
October 3rd 1970. I learnt my lesson. From 3-1 to losing 3-4! Haven’t left early since.
A few of my mates stayed in the pub (all of them went to Watford), the teams home form, and Wayne Nash’s army, don’t make the home experience very enjoyable these days. The official attendance was 18,700…the actual was more like 14K.
Get your alarm clock on for Ipswich….see you in Legends ? ;)
The Ninian Stand looked shit yesterday.
My brother left with 10 mins to go tbh I didn't blame him I left with a minute of injury time to go.
It seems Wayne Nash is driving fans away. Judging from comments online anyway. Something must be done
Is Wayne Nash telling our midfield to constantly pass the ball sideways and then stand rooted on the spot?
I'm not a fan of the former grass cutter but being bored shitless by the football isn't on him.
I see he has a nice little earner working for UEFA too….he probably came up with the alcohol ban at stadiums, and it’s only a matter of time until they implement his amazing “open jacket policy “
When Ole was in charge I left one minute into the second half.We were one down.I knew we wouldn't score.
When I got home to Abertillery we were still playing and no we didn't score.
Am I the only person who has never left a game before the end then? Even the 0-4 massacre by the JBs at the CCS and the Maidstone game on NY Day at NP :-o
I just can’t do it. I’m either to mean or simply deluded.
At least under Ole the football was entertaining in a wtf is going on way.
I was referring to the stadium match day experience, to my knowledge Nash has no input to team selection or tactics….well, not yet he doesn’t.
After half hour I went to the bar, and half way through the second half I'd had enough.
Me neither.
Me too. There was one season at the old N.P. ground where you could almost bet your shirt that City would either score the winner or the equaliser in injury time because it happened practically every game. I can't remember when that was - maybe it's a case of looking back with rose-tinted glasses? There may be some City stats experts on here who know!
The advantage of being on the Bob Bank meant I could run across the back of the stand towards the end of the game and stand near the floodnights at the away end and watch the closing minutes from there. Then dive out behind the Grange End at the final whistle to avoid the crowd!
Your free to chose what to do ,no excuses needed, many leave if they have kids , elderly to avoid the rush . Buses. Train connections.
Many need to go watch wugger .
Many wanted to get in a pub and forget the game .
At least we were all there at some point and that's key ..
