We saw you sneaking out!

[HighfieldBlade]

Nope I’m still sat on my seat in the South Stand fuckin starving mind.........I wonder if there’s any pies left

I did glance across as I was frog-marched off the Kop.

 

[FlamingLip]

i can't remember the last time I left early - probably under Adams. I go with my old man this season and it takes him a while to get out the ground. i've not managed to make a few games this season so when he's gone alone he's always left with 5 mins or so. like a plum i 'generously' said 'come on fatha lets escape early, chalk it down to a bad job.

missed 2 goals.

lesson learned.

apologies to future blades stuck behind me ol' man but the buggers staying til end now on.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

I'm actually sleeping here till saturday. Roughing it on the Kop.
Just got a call from work, I've been sacked.
My missus has rung and said I've got to pick the kids up at half 3... they can walk.

That's how big a Blade I am.

Sleeping on 't Kop and tha calls that roughing it ??!! Tha dunt know tha'r born !!!!

Why, when ar wer a lad ah used to walk ooam after 't match ( barefoot, mind ) sleep in't dustbin at bottom ot garden so as not to wake mi Mam and Dad then gerrup at 5 o'clock and do a 27 hour shift dahn't pit.

I didn't sneak out, I quite brazenly walked out.

But since everybody wants to have a Bladey dick-waving contest, I follow this team everywhere, I spend money I can't afford to part with in that pursuit. I use precious holiday days just so I can get to get to midweek games away at whatever godforsaken part of the country we land in on that day.
I have shed blood, sweat and the occasional tear following this team in the past 22 years of my 32 on this earth. I've stood on open terraces getting piss-soaked through and dodged bricks. I've even broken bones.

I really don't require validation from a bunch of pixels on a screen about my level of commitment to this club, especially on the basis of leaving 11 minutes early for the 3rd time in my life.
In other words, mind your own fucking beeswax.

Thank you.

Well said

 

[Bladebri]

I sit on an aisle seat, so no, it's still nobody's business.

And again

 

[Bladebri]

It's restricted view unfortunately. A pillar blocks the left side of the pitch. Bloody ticket office swore blind it wasn't restricted as well.

Hat trick, are you Leon in disguise

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

I think it's a little presumptuous questioning anybody's motives for staying or leaving at any time.

They're not your children, they don't owe you anything and they don't technically owe the team or club anything.
They've paid their ticket price and they have their own minds and consciousness to make a decision on whether they stay or leave.

It surprises me you're so bothered by it.

For what it's worth i don't leave till the whistle.

I'm sure it really motivates the lads to see droves leaving well before the end, and a chance for the opposition fans to take the piss. Not everyone can stay till the end, I accept that, but the OP has a point.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Free country and all that.

At 2-5 I looked at the time on the scoreboard and found myself puzzling over why I didn't think it was definitely all over.

I've seen us come back from almost certain defeats before and I couldn't bear to be out of the stadium as we score and the cheers go up.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

I didn’t go last night and gave my season ticket to brownie To use as he saw fit.

I watched the game on ifollow till the end although I left the screen at 2-4 to go for a piss.

So who’s the bigger Blade?

Me for watching the game on the sofa but not going ?

Or those scum that left at 2-5?

Or is this a thread for the next international week?

We used to dream about living in a dustbin.
