Early Leavers Block 22 . . MOTD Highlights. .

[The Occasional Man]

Own up then who are the 3 who come running back in after missing the goal!! ;D ;D

Watch the MOTD highlights and see a fat bloke in a illuminous yellow jacket and his fat 2 mates come trundling in . .

Bet ya regrets leaving that whole 7 minutes early - even more that you were caught on camera with it!! ;D

If there's ever a game we were always going to win it was the Baggies game. Why would you leave before seeing the inevitable conclusion?

[th05]

The old couple next to me, who are the most irritating pair of old hacks, always leave on 75 minutes. It's a fucking joke. They have missed the drama at Villa and countless other goals scored in the last 15 minutes. I asked them why and they say to avoid the traffic. If they have to do why on earth don't they leave on 85 instead is beyond me. Anyway, at least it gives me 15 minutes of peace.

It's opening a massive can of worms to criticise 'early leavers', I've done it before, and it seems a good number of people have something very, very important to do on a Saturday evening that means they can't wait that little bit longer to show the players their appreciation for a good performance (and a win). Never understood it myself.

[cr4zyd4ve]

The only thing I can think of is that they must love the prospect of a Strictly Come Dancing/X-Factor double header on Sadee evenings. Pathetic!! ;D

[wizzardofdribble]

The people next to me block 21..always arrive 5 minutes after the kick-off...and leave 10 minutes before the end..and go for a half-time pint after 40 minutes and arrive back 10 minutes into the second half...I mean why fucking bother coming at all?

[premierpotters08]

dont understand it who were the cocks in the baggies end who left after the goal dick eds

[stokie25]

i always like to see which of our lads clap us fans at the end...Soro always runs full pitch to clap the Boothen as do Higgy and a few others!

Serves em right for missing it! Ha Ha!! ;D

[st0kecity]

Probably avoiding the standstill that is the south car park....

Slightly OT, but having spent another hour on the south car park post match on saturday, I have come to the conclusion I may as well go and enjoy a pint while the rest of the car park scrabble to get out.

Not having drank around there, is the harvester better or Delilah's? And, what time does Delilahs close after the match?

[powchirper]

With no scoreboard to let us know how long left my mate kept asking how longleft how long left, dunno i kept saying then the couple and their son two rows in front stood up and left, 10 minutes to go i told him with a big grin, And they missed the goal.

[ginge]

Miss Piggy: we're in delilah's til 6 after a game. it's busy, but you can get a beer, watch the results come through on skysports, see stoke climb the league table ( ;D ) then have a walk up to the south carpark & drive straight off! none of the wacky-races shite that we used to participate in!!!

[PMac]

Can't understand why people leave early only to sit in their cars on a car park?

So the lads put in an amazing performance and these people aren't there to clap the team off? Ermm..... eh?

Then they have the audacity to moan about prices and leave early so not getting their full moneys worth? ermm... eh?

Still, it's not for me to comment on


Eerrmm.... oh ahhh. ;D

[birly]

I leave at injury time and watch from the exit to the concourse.then im of the car park double quick!!

[stevetheboater]

Got a standing joke with the guy who sits next to me (and always leaves on 85 mins) that he needs to get a move on as we only score the winner once he's left the ground.

Yep, and I bet you're laughing your bollocks off when we do score and he's fled to the carpark. Lol

Besides, the coverage the fans get on the TV after final whistle has been great. I've seen loads of people I know in the corwd as the cameras pan round the stadium.

[redblue]

It looks a bit sad on MOTD when you see all the empty seats leading up to the end of the match, especially the family stand and the Seddon stand.

[DrGonzo]

I usually get up to the ground about 1 o'clock and leave at about 3.15. Get on and off the south car park in no time and am at home with a warm bovril listening to praise and grumble while all you idiots are all still stuck in the jams!

[daverichards]

If the traffic is THAT bad, why do people persist in parking there ? I have parked on the power league in previous seasons, now i park off campbell rd and walk , and never get stuck in any traffic, and I get to see ALL of the game .

Because some people (not all) are to idle to walk campbell rd. They want to walk straight out of the ground into their car sit and moan about the traffic.

[GazMcNicol]

I enjoy the 10 minute run back to the car
But never miss a second of the match
