People leaving the Brit early, no matter what the score, is a bone of contention for me. However, it was put into context yesterday. I went to Wembley. No not to watch the game I took my two sons who, despite being loyal Potters, had won two tickets for the Final. So sad bastard that I am I took them down, deposited them at the stadium and then found a pub to get pissed in (The Greyhound in Wembley-what a shithole and full of Danny Dire Cockernee hard men and piss-weak beer) Anyway thats not the story, I watched Lampwick miss the penno on tv (had a little giggle at the moaning Mockneys) and set off on the 5 minute walk back to the ground to be confronted by a tidal wave of thousands of supporters from both Portsmouth AND Chelsea running away from the ground making an early exit just to get away a few minutes quicker. I can't understand the Pompey fans leaving early there was still chance of a late equaliser and extra time but the Chelski fans!!! Are they so plastic and totally immune to the joys of success that they don't even stay behind to watch the presentation of the cup to THEIR OWN team.
As I was pissed I was shouting at them for being gloryhunting fucktards and to go back in and support their team. I think its called pissing in the wind. Good job my Missus was with me and told me to wind my neck in. Mind you I don't think there was one of them could fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
So the point I'm making is I promise here and now never to moan about a few hundred leaving the Brit early ever again. (well until next season anyway) I've witnessed true gloryhunting wankiness at first hand and if thats what winning trophies brings they can keep it.
Mid table security is fine by me.

Are you still pissed now?
Went in The Greyhound before the Autoglass Trophy in 1992 + 2000. Rammed with stokies.
Anyway, did you notice how some Chelsea "fans" stayed sitting in their seats, and weren't jumping around like lunatics when Drogba opened the scoring in the fa cup FINAL???
Now THATS bad!!!

I have never understood why supporters leave early come win lose or draw . The lads need our support and I feel i have to climb a mountain to attend the matches I get to. but why locals leave early i will never comprehend or if you live hundreds of miles away matches can be lost won or drawn in the last five minutes and as stoke fans we know that!!!!! so stoke city to the end, but I hope next season the extra time is less painful than some games this season.

i don't recall signing a contract that tells me i have to stay for the whole 90 minutes. however, i do, and have always done. but if others don't want to, then that's their choice. it's their loss if they miss a last minute stoke win. and it's their gain if they get out early enough to beat the traffic, crash on the m6, and get laid on the hard shoulder by the dumb blonde that wasn't checking her fucking mirrors! next you'll be saying it pisses you off when gambling stokies bet against stoke when playing chelsea or something

At Wembley, the difference between leaving early and after the final whistle is an amazing 5 hours.
I can see why they did it, bit it is not something I have ever contemplated.

Leaving the Britt early saves hours on that south carpark. It is a pain in the arse.
Oh and also Wardles don't help by making the Castle bus leave well early and not giving you time to get from the West Stand to the bus at full time.
I always leave five minutes early as it is either that or walk home.
Crap innit ;D

people behind me at the portsmouth away game left with 5 mins to go and missed one hell of mental, i cant see why people would want to leave early having travelled all that distance anyway

Im sur you can save 5 or 20 mins by leaving early but if your after setting out to a game and travelling to the ground and watching a match for 2 hours surely another 10 mins queing for the bus wont make much of a difference so i really cant understand anyone leaving a match early

It really pisses me off as well, particularly as half the twats just stand on the fucking steps and block everybody elses view. I almost managed to get a few of them wound up last season; they were standing in the aisle, desperately trying to get out and chanting, of all things, 'Stokie 'til I die', at which point I yelled, 'Yeah, but not 'til the end of the fucking match, eh?' Fuckers didn't have an answer to that.
There's some fucker sits in front of me, gets to his seat 5 or 10 minutes after kick-off, goes down to the bar at least 10 minutes before half-time, gets back 10 minutes into the second half and leaves 10 minutes before the end. Why the fucking hell does he bother?

Dunno about that March my kids watched the cup presentation we walked to Wembley Park tube station and were at St Pancras for just after six with 2 hours to wait for our train Time for more beer ;D

If people want to leave early then its there choice.
Some people have to go to work or have long journeys home, so that doesn't bother me really

If you need to catch the tube (which most people do) then it's amazing the difference between leaving 5 minutes early and on 90 minutes, if you leave on 90 minutes you can be held back in a queue on Wembley way for anything up to an hour. It's ridiculous.

I understand some people have to leave early, at the Man City away cup game this year I had to leave at half time as my friends son was rushed into hospital so we had to go. We rushed out and set off home. I do however have a problem with people leaving early if they get in my fucking way whilst I'm trying to watch. It really pisses me off when people walk slowly across blocking my view.
Either fuck off and go or stay put until the bloody end.

If fans leave early they should just go not stand on the stairs and watch the last 5mins! Inconsiderate b*****ds

I wish more of you would leave early.
I might get away a bit quicker after it's finished that way!

it always makes me smile when the cup games go to extra time and people get up and say ''im going now, ive got work in the morning'', as if an extra half hour is going to kill them or something, fair weathered cunts

If folk want to leave early it's their choice.
What does annoy me is those that come back in 5 mins into the second half making rows of people stand up .........going an hour and a half without a pie too much for some folk :-)

I often wonder the same thing - it's his only chance to drink all week. ;D

Left early on two occassions this season and numerous times in the past. I tend to only do this if we concede in the last minute or miss a great chance etc.
The times its happened this season were when Chelsea scored at the end. I just couldn't take it and had to walk away. I also had to 'walk away' when Bolton scored their last minute goal at our place.
I'll never leave early to beat the traffic etc. Its just when I can't take th epain any longer.

The worst is:
Bloke gets up to leave Bloke drags his lardy backside across the row 5mins later, bloke has only got past 4 seats Stoke go on the attack and bloke decides to stand still
