Was that for the 10,000 odd Liverpool fans that left the game after 80 mins.
Actually that brings me onto my biggest bug bear of the game. The divers, cheaters, crap refs and all that can wait. Why is it that at every game, there are always a section of fans who leave the game with 10 mins to play.....regardless of the score. It does my nut in, and really infuriates me, you support the team to the bitter end. I've seen myslef being left in the Jailend literally by myself when County were losing to Partick Thistle 5-1 a couple of years ago, but I stayed till the end.
Likewise when I went to see Elgin City play, whose average gate is about 300, yet by the end of the game your lucky to count 100......WTF!!
Agree 100%..The ONLY times I have left the ground early is when I am driving the "Football Special" for Oxford Uniteds' home games, and that's because I'm PAID to be there and leave early (only way you'll get me in there unless Chelsea are playing a pre-season friendly or a Cup match!)...in fact, once they caught somebody climbing over the fence at half-time at an Oxford match...they made the poor sucker go back and watch the second half!
I am going to the glamourous Chesterfield on saturday to watch Gillingham play away! Looking forward to standing on the old terracing again. Should be a good atmosphere!
