Boycie Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Sorry for the youngsters terminology in the title. But, on Radio Derbys post match phone in a caller claimed he left on 20 mins. Now, he's entitled to, but what if he's with someone else, a kid maybe, does it breed this type of reaction into future supporters or even put them off completely? I was posting on another thread and said if you were to leave on 0-2 down on 20 mins wouldn't you at least give it until 10 mins of the second half? Whats the earliest you have left? Mine is about 70 mins against Reading this season, the first time ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 A family friend of ours (in his sixties, season ticket for most of his adult life) left early for the first time last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I agree and equally astonished to hear anyone had left that early. I guess he was disgusted that we weren't 3:0 up by then. Can't remember the last time I left early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paese Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Never left early. Before you think that's due to loyalty though, it's mostly because of how the bus times work. Might as well stay under cover in the stadium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Don’t think I’ve ever left before the 85 minute mark. If it’s really that bad I take the opportunity to vent out some anger and shout expletives at whoever deserves it. Last time I did that was the first season we played Coventry at the Ricoh.

Mine is about 70 mins against Reading this season, the first time ever. I must sound like a broken record :-) However I never used to leave early, I also used to look forward to games, having a season ticket for decades and decades, even the disastrous PL season I never felt like I didn’t get some enjoyment from the game. Until this season, I don’t leave early still for home games but only because we have a bus that does not leave until full, away though is a different matter, even games we have been winning in I have left to goto the pub instead. Sad times, both now and next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Didn't hear the interview but could he have meant to say he left with 20 mins to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Did once way back when we were 0-2 down to Cov. About 85 mins if I remember rightly and we drew 2-2. Never done it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I love it when of my kids Rage Quits and kicks off,always cracks me up. 85 minutes,my early departure is never anything to do with Football,it’s purely based on transport or other commitments.

Paese Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Me and the missus did laugh yesterday. Guy near us refused to leave early with his wife because he "wanted to stay to the end so he can boo." Sorry if that's one of you guys, but his synicism did make me chuckle on what was otherwise an awful night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you don’t leave early, just trying to establish if you were there, no need to get defensive. Can’t blame you, much warmer in front of the TV.

I understand some people leave a few minutes early for health reasons but leaving on 20 minutes is ridiculous. No game is ever decided that early. I chose not to go last night, the second time this season I have chosen not to when it's been on sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Only left early a few times due to a tight schedule but i will usually gauge if it is tight and will let other priorities go by the wayside in the hope we will get a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoneedshuls Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Have too admit I left 10 minutes early last night first time in a long long time normally stay till the end but I was fed up of the pathetic performance from the lads and thought why should I stay any longer to watch this crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would say genius. I only left early once. Missed an amazing Micky Forsyth equalizer v Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Carry on in this form and I predict at least ten thousand will leave early, very very early for the last couple of games. So early in fact that they didn't bother to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
