Thinking about it, the only time i left early was the the Liverpool cup game a few years ago where they buggered up the tickets.

The last time I left early was nine years ago this month for self preservation.

Was that really 9 years ago?  Well obviously from the date but it seems like yesterday

I was living in Aston then, I got home and kicked fuck out of the communal bins.
Immature, but it calmed me down (slightly).

I got on a bus to town, and where everyone got off, there was an old woman asking the score. About seventy people walked past her and none said a word.

9 years ago. Fuck me, that's scary. I was in the Lower Holte and would have loved to get hold of the scumbag who was chucking stuff from those shit box things between the Holte and Trinity.

I've left a few minutes before the end many times. I can do what I like.

In hindsight probably not but I felt different at the time, especially as I went by myself that night.

Only game I left early was Doncaster cup in 05/06. I left straight after the 3rd went in.

I am with you Stu.   If anybody by me had the balls to get sarcastic with this old git for choosing what time he wanted to leave I would tell him to mind his own fucking business.

I never leave early but I fully understand that a lot of people have valid reasons for doing so.   Saturday night is the highlight of a lot of people's social life getting away from the worst of the traffic may well be the difference between a pleasant evening or a horrible one.

My son left at 90 minutes yesterday because his wife had tickets for the theatre in London.   He was in his seat for the start of the play at 7.30.

I left two minutes after the whistle at 4.55 and due to traffic problems arrived home in Cambridge at 10.20.   Wife in bed dinner in dog. 

It is the nature of football these days when fans travel great distances and spend many hours going to and from games both home and away.

fucking hell Brian ! 10.20 !!    me and my mate wait until the extra added time board comes out and then we make our way down to the front to watch the final knockings as soon as the ref blows we are gone and usually in the car 20 mins later, also which way did you go home ? we know that the A14 is shut at Godmanchester at weekends for "repairs" so we go to St  Neots/Bedford on to the M1 and then M6 to B6 and the same home as well, I was in the Rose and Crown Histon at 7.15pm.

I did it at Wembley at the Chelsea semi-final when they scored their second. It was the difference between a 5 minute queue for the Tube and an hour long queue... and missed Chelsea's 3rd.
