Our fans?

[twranger]

Bowles - have you never, ever left early?

I have. Never if I think we have a remote chance or will make a fight. If not - nothing wrong with it. I also think fans can leave when the hell they feel like it. Do you really think staying to the end would inspire our team to suddenly change the habbit of a season and actually play some football?

The point being, why do people go in the first place if all they are going to do is leave before the end.- the way this season has been going, there's a good chance they are going to get a bit pee'd off and they know what will be served up at LR. If you are making the effort to go to the game and spending the money on tickets and travel,etc whats the point in leaving early - you might as well stay to the end and try to enjoy the day out............ or dont go at all and save a lot of hard earnt. Either commit or dont!

[silvercue]

"either commit or don't" - what are you on about? people pay their money they can do what they want. Are we allowed to go to the toilet during a game or does that make you a bad supporter for not cheering on the lads for 5 minutes?

simple answer is only when i had to get a train home for a night match, think it was brum that snowy night we won 1-0, the match was slightly delayed and i had to leave about 2 mins early, it broke my heart!

whilst i feel for all the fans on here voting with thier feet, i still dont get it. Sorry, i have been to enough games where the game turns in the last 10 mins. On saturday that was never gonna happen but we are playing the league leaders, we go 0-2 down, game over so leave early. Everyone has a right to do that but i see it every week, week in week out

its been poor this season at home, i aint denying that, but i love this club and its my club but it aint my team, the team has been taken away from us and believe it or not, i preferred it when flavio was in charge, at least the players had some bite and energy. This crop have nothing at all.

Our fans possibly number 11k i would imagine as there will be plenty that turn it in if we go down. I wont, i never will and possibly the majority on here wont either, but to bring the good times back, we have to lower the prices and retain this fan base.

Thanks for the replies, i can see the passion there

3 mins of stoppage time to go spurs just gone 3-2 up, great game and spurs fans singing is ...a fire alarm, stadium being deserted that's bizarre considering great game, see no problem with us going after MK or man u or most of our games this season.

[Bowles10]

each to their own i suppose, as much as i would like to walk out, i don't

i think our problem relates to those out there earning 50k and not trying their best. Seen it all season with PArk, Granero, Bosingwa and many more

we are in danger of alienating our fans if you ask me if this carries on

better to go before or after actually - saves disturbing everyone during the game...its annoying......its only kiddies that cannot hold their bladder.

we have has the same average gates, except one year, for the last 20 years. Our numbers have nowt to do with the fact we are in the Prem. Loads of games we haven't sold our own tickets.....In fact I much prefer going when we are in the Championship as that is a competition, unlike the media money farce that is the Premier League. the one game I recall walking out of was v Leeds when we were 4-1 down and it was freezing. That wasn't PL. don't mix up being loyal with staying to watch rubbish.

I find all this "we are better fans than you" because we stay to the end and we never, ever dream of not being positive on a message board and we will never do anything that isn't rose scented and we will kiss all of our players backsides and never boo anything really quite sad. Support the team how you want and let everyone else do the same.

I will leave early if I want, I will boo Joey Barton when I see someone not give 2 sh1ts and play like a clown and laugh about it. I will have a p.1ss during the match and I will say what the hell I like on this message board.

I hope that is ok with everyone.

You know that's not really possible though?!

Good point WeAre. I'm sure Silvercue will get his points across without getting all unnecessary though

[James1979]

I left at half time in our first season in championship. Couldn't bare another 45 mins of santos up front.

well said that man!

[Rich]

Like others above I have been a fan since early 80's and I left at 3-0 vs mk dons and it was the first time. Same reasons as above, not because we're losing but because players show no fight, desire, bottle, quality etc, etc, etc. Have a re-think before giving the high and mighty bs ffs

[qprjack92]

I do not leave when we are losing but i do not blame those who do .

[SM3 Ranger]

what has ****ed me off is the people giving up, no passion, in the upper loft, about 100 at least walked out at 0-2 with ten minutes left

its £55 to sit there and they walk out, its pathetic

Clubs at the bottom need support, where has our loyalty gone, these arent just new fans, these are people who have been here a few years

it saddens me it really does, no atmosphere yesterday and another set of poxy songs, booing Bosingwa etc ok, its been a shocking season but you aint helping the side at all

I assume these guys like to get away and get home a tad early for ????

Due to "other things" going on the only game i have been to this season so far was Southampton at home,i left after 44 minutes i had seen enough that day to convince me my hard earned had been thoroughly wasted.
I will not offer my support to those who have either not earned it or deserved it.
What i saw that day was overpaid mercenaries swanning around that did not deserve my support,i have been to places like Grimsby on a wet Tuesday night and supported to the hilt a team that had only 10% of the talent our current squad has but 1000% more heart and wanted to play for us and our club this is why i will leave when i want and will not have a pop at anyone else at the moment that decides to leave early.
Not withstanding i have had my arm twisted and will be going to Villa i just hope we still have something left to play for!
