I stayed to the end I always do, I don’t know why but after Mings scored I just felt we’d level it.

The first game I left early against was against Swansea in the cup. We weren’t quite as bad as that last night but under pressure from friends by me I left on 77 mins. Plenty of finger pointing in the pub afterwards.

I went to the game with my 6 year old daughter and at 3-0 asked if she wanted to go. She said no as we might score. So we stayed. Feel quite good now.

What a girl !!

On the flip side, she made me sit through the whole of the Swansea cup game for the same reason!
Again good girl :)

Left many a time early, Wigan away being the he last one. My take on it is if the players can’t be arsed why should I.  It’s a personal preference

Don't you think, as supporters, the team needs our support more at 3-0 down than 3-0 up? Walking out and or booing loses us the home advantage and makes it a disadvantage.
I think anyone who pays their money has this free choice when to leave.
For what it's worth, I stayed until the end at the Chelsea 8-0.

There was a chap on Twitter who left when we went two goals down against Hull at home and posted a picture of himself outside the ground. It was almost as if he was proud to do it. People like that annoy me the most to be honest.

I don't leave early as a general rule, but the day Coventry twatted us 4-1 at VP saw me on the Expressway when John Hartson scored.

Was just thinking about that game. That was the first game I ever left early. We were woeful that day

Left early against QPR last year and missed our consolation

I left the earliest I've ever left a match, 75 minutes, and could not give a fuck. "Walk of shame", my arse.

Earliest ever for me too but it was about 72 minutes.

I generally never leave early but last night was just abject and there was absolutely no sign that we had 3 goals in us.

I watched the game at 11 pm when I got back from work.

I must admit I did the fast forward on 77 miniutes as I couldnt believe how shit we were and was so frustrated with the game .  The performance and the ref decisions .

Then I saw a 1-3 pop up in the corner rewound it to see the goal and sat back and watched it 'live' thinking we couldnt could we.

I stayed, but largely because I didn't want to battle through the people leaving and thought I'd get away more quickly at FT.

I don't blame anyone who did leave. It wasn't just that we were 3-0 down but there appeared to be a total lack of spark and going into the 80th minute I felt there was only one side with any chance of finishing the game strongly. Which obviously made the comeback even more of a surprise!

I have no issue with people who spend their hard-earned money watching performances like last night wondering why they bother and deciding they'd rather beat the traffic and get home in the warm.

Better that than staying behind to boo the team off, in my opinion.

Only ever left early twice.
My first game August 74’ Villa 6-0 v Hull. Left at 4-0 because my Uncle wanted to go and I was only 8.
Villa 0-3 v Blues in 85’ (not sure of the date) was the other one.
Otherwise I’ve stood/sat through the lot at home!

Agree totally.
I’ve no issue whatsoever if people want to leave and there was more than enough evidence last night to do just that.
I just stay till the end and it’s a habit I suppose as there is always somebody to applaud off even if the team has been shocking.

Only left early twice in my life. First was the Steve Hodge match (in protest) and the second was the Wembley semi-final against Chelsea.  I did think about leaving early but i'm fucking glad I didn't :D
