    I know its an individuals choice.

    But why would you leave your seat with half an hour to go having travelled a long way to watch your team.

    Astonishing!

    Offspring and myself left after the 4th went in.
    Game was beyond us at that moment and decided to leave for an early getaway to avoid after match traffic.
    Arrived home at 7.45pm and don't regret doing it.
    Did the same at QPR a few years ago on the opening game of the season.
    We paid our money and made our choice.

    The game was on in the pub around the corner on one of them Greek decoder things, that might have had something to do with it.

    Can't see what it has to do with anyone else if they want to leave early .... their choice.

    Over the countless years, I've done it myself, for various reasons, a good example would be November 5th 1975 away at Torquay, I had to leave 10 mins from the end of the game to hopefully catch the last train to Sheffield, has it turned out I didn't leave early enough, missed it and the next one only went as far as Bristol Temple meads station, spent the night sleeping in a waiting room !

    btw, the other four 'tarn' fans at the game traveled by car !

    Not that astonishing.

    4-0 down, sat in a really **** excuse for a football stand, with posts blocking your view and backwards Brizzle teenagers practically spitting at you.

    Does that sound enjoyable? I much preferred my pint of Bristol Beer Factory Acer that I was supping in a nice pub environment.

    Nothing to do with more money than sense, you've already paid the cash.
