Early Leavers

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I've always understood people leaving early for midweek evening games, though like others I'm not sure that excuse applies to THAT many people.

It's the early leaving for the 12:45/3:00/4:00 weekend KOs that piss me right off.

If you was at Twente for the full game!!! you would of notice many gooners leaving in there hoardes in the 80th minute! Now this gets on my goat especially as you see a team getting trounced by us and there fans remaining to the end!!
Last season our Away fans done us proud staying at the 4-0 Man USA game and the 5-1 Scum (it didnt happen) but yet these people cant stay to watch 90 minutes!!
I'm sorry no actually I'm not sorry if your one of those who left early!
Its a disgrace we play for 90+ minutes! if you went to see Hellboy 2 for instance would you leave before the end??

If you live out in the subborbs I dont care dont go to a evening game let someone else take it of your hands who can wait the full 45+ minutes for a beer, But I don't think its anything to do with a Evening kick offs at all! We saw it last season at 12.45 kick offs 3 o'clock kick offs!!
It shows you have no pride in your team and all you want to do is get home to talk about 75 minutes off football to your mates down the pub
or maybe half of them are former rugby fans and believe games finish in 80 minutes either way! I detest these people almost as much as Spud fans!

if any ELC's want to put there side accross and can give me a valid reason why they leave early then do so ( i cant see one)

Its very frustrating Smoothy, I must admit. But what can be done? :?

I think the only way is for the club (and/or council) to improve the flow of supporters leaving the stadium. Unfortuantely, it's very congested after full time, and the queue's at the tube stations are horrendous.
- Until this is sorted, fans will continue to leave en masse, way before the final whistle :cry:

Last season I understood the early leaving situation...but last night was pathetic.

The rush these f*ckers made for the exit was out of order - if ANY of them were moaning or complaining before the game about the team's start to the season they should take a look at themselves.

We expect anyone who pulls on an Arsenal shirt to die for the cause, but so should the fans. You can't berate someone for not trying or playing badly when 80 minutes into the game you turn around and f*ck off!

We played well last night, but you could see the players walking off almost deflated. They finished the game, looked up and everyone had gone, leaving a few thousand to clap/cheer them off. That, in everyone's book, is SH!T support. Why would anyone want to play for a club where the fans don't give a f*ck, we have a go at players for wanting more money, but when your home support are as bad as last night money becomes the only motivation!

The board need to seriously look at this constant problem. They need to address it before the players begin to lose faith in the home support.

At the end of the day we all hate it,and it fucks us all off. But in hindsight were not going to change it,it wont be changed and it cant be changed. People pay there money,so they leave early the crunts are entitled to do it. Arsenal dont give 2 shits because for 1. Its money and that's all they want and 2. The more people that leave early the less work stewards do in getting people out.
