Leaving games early.

[garycassidy1802 37]

This is one thing that really grinds my gears. I have never left a match early.

Especially at 1-1 when we're on top and the crowd is behind the players, our crowd has been hailed as a 12th man before, so why do people leave early to beat the traffic or whatever, is that more important than getting a winning goal?

[TheNuts 552]

when you gotta go you gotta go. some people may have other commitments, or young kids they want to take out the ground before the rush, so i understand that.

what i do hate is the cunts who leave when we are playing poorly, or those mugs who decide to leave, and then stop on the stairs to watch the game cause we are attacking. i dont hesitate to tell them to fuck off.

Ah yeah I completely understand that point, better to go to the game for 80 odd minutes than not at all if you have to be somewhere.

Second point I completely agree with.

Bloody least of our concerns.

[King Jela 20,361]

Always hated it, but I'v swung round to the belief that if you pay your money you can do what you want.

[Turnberry18 3,204]

I don't personally like it; I especially dislike it at 1-1

[AGM_72 3,637]

Again, I've always hated it but I'm not naive enough to believe that because I don't like it everyone else shouldn't either.

[Spacecowboy 92]

nearly as unacceptable as that lot who go for a pie at 30 mins....

WTF is that all about? I would never leave my seat, under no circumstances

[Creampuff 22,628]

Half the Broomloan Rear left with 10 minutes left.

[Turnberry18 3,204]

To me it's the equivalent as going to the cinema and leaving 10-20 minutes before the end. One fan tried to explain to me once that it wasn't the same thing: I wasn't convinced.

Even if you're taking the piss, I'm like that. Pie and Bovril pre-match, or half time. Even if I need to pish, I'd rather pish my pants than miss a potential goal.

Exactly, same as going to a gig or going to the cinema.

My Dad is a celtic fan, he told me before he was at a reserve game when he was younger, his mate left at half time 4-0 down in a rage. The match finished 6-4.

For this reason, I'd never leave a match early, stay 'til the end and get behind the team, no matter what I stay and applaud the team off the park.

[real boydie9 17,631]

In all my years following the Rangers I have NEVER left the game early even if we are losing which happened a lot in the 70's and 80's

[derek1872 548]

I was shocked to catch the last 10 mins of the game on Rangers TV and noticed a half empty stand. It was 1-1 ffs.

[devref 201]

said it many times before that the supporters should be there for the full match.ok we all know that some have other comittments at times but am sure those who walk out early game after game and we can all see where they sit most games its the same seats that empty.stewards should note them and after 3/4 in a row walk outs recind the season ticket.and resell to someone who will fill it for the entire game

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Its not acceptable to leave at any time, fans should stay to the end to clap the players, they pay to go see, off the pitch. Its embarrassing for the club. A horrible sight.

[garycassidy1802 37]

Not even that, it was 1-1, we were firing everything at them, and the (remainder of) the crowd were making as much noise at physically happy.

[real boydie9 17,631]

Half the Broomloan Rear left with 10 minutes left.

People leaving in their droves in a lot of the sections of the ground AC, cant get my head round it I've NEVER left a game early even if we're losing

[Turnberry18 3,204]

I don't know how someone can leave a game at 1-1 and not even have to force themselves out the Stadium. It annoys me, but I have come to accept it. I notice Arsenal have the same problem, so I wondered if it is the underground station syndrome!

[RoyCropper 574]

some people have trains and shit to catch

[garycassidy1802 37]

some people have trains and shit to catch

That is understandable at midweek night fixtures. But a match ending at 5pm?

[Chuck_Fickens 425]

It's always been said, you pay for your ticket, you're entitled to leave at any time you want. Obviously I'd prefer if everybody stayed until the end, but they've paid their money, it's up to them what they do.

[SimplyTheRangers 43]

Maybe no, but its unacceptable losing a 12 points lead people are angry.

I wouldn't do it myself but if people are paying to watch Rangers they can leave when they want.

[Redmond7 979]

People can leave after five minutes if they want, just dont know why you would pay that money and not stay to get your full value.

[harlands plater 16,984]

Something I've done maybe a handful of times in 50 years, last time being the 3-0 capitulation to Lyon in 2007.

What I do think is that sometimes thousands of empty seats can get a message across to a club, but with many of our supporters it's just a habit irrespective of the result or performance.
