Subway Loyal
- Thread starter Fairs fair
- Start date
I don’t go to 50 concerts a year.
And actually, the concerts I do go to, I see people leaving before the encore all the time…
got one but appreciate the concern!
Happy for you. Now give me peace about leaving with 10 minutes to go eh
Best thing about this thread is the folk that leave early have probably been to Ibrox more than the people commenting

Because folk want the best for the club and the stadium being mostly empty by full time is embarrassing.
You can leave early if want, sleep through the game etc but people are going to have an opinion about what you do.

You’d think people leaving early is something new haha. Who cares what some random does

Do you leave away games early?
That reads like it's just for you - as someone who doesn't go to away games, is there a similar exodus at the 75th-90th minute?
No, as previously said I left early for food, I was out all day hope that’s ok

Back when I were a lad in the good old days in Plantation, I’d sneak along to Ibrox for the last 20 minutes of Saturday afternoon games. That’s when the big doors were opened in the Enclosure and you could get in for free.
I was the AntiSubway Loyal.
The excitement of encountering the first fan that had obviously attended the match was great.
“What’s the score mister?”
Praying he would say nothing each. Seeing a late winner was the holy grail.
If that happened these days the poor wee guys wouldn’t get near the entrance for the hordes departing.

Mainly because they can't get a ticket for folk that only turn up out of habit & %^*& off up the road for food on 75 minutes because they've done their bit by turning up. Something that is never an issue for games that folk can be bothered with (Celtic, Leipzig, Dortmund).
I use an RSC. We travel from the North East of England. I always leave on full time, stroll over to the bus, find the nearest burger van, stand and eat at the side of the bus and get on the bus and I'm still one of the first on. That applies to weekend and midweek games.
Start scanning cards on the way out and if you don't scan out after 85 minutes for 75% of home games then you're stuck back on the season card waiting list for the following season.

In theory then they would be the ones with less of a connection and more inclined to leave early??
I do think one of our fan bases greatest faults is we can’t in general be objective we either hate everything the club does or we do everting brilliant and everyone else should be lucky to be half as great as us

It's nothing to do with anyone when I leave, paid my money, make my choice

Without reading all the preceding posts remember that VAR can seriously affect the time a game finishes,not just at Ibrox,and can mean a missed connection for those staying to end.
It doesn't affect me and obviously the subway loyal will never change.
I know yesterday was not really affected,but give leeway to some of those at other times who may be affected.

Our bus is 10 mins or 15 mins in extreme circumstances after full time or you’re left (adults only obviously).
I’m in BF1, leave in injury time most weeks so have to make my way round the full stadium to the bus park at the opposite side of Copland Road and the bus is majority full. Now I run most of the way back so I’d say near enough every person back on the bus before me has left before the 90 minute mark - but hardly any of them will ever admit it.
Tourists want to soak it in. I’ve been there. Grounds in England, Italy, Spain and the US.
Arrive early, hang around afterwards, just a bit more leisurely. If you’re at Ibrox for your 2000th time then I’d say you’re more likely to leave than someone on a day trip.
The comparison was vs Man City’s fanbase, nobody else’s. They play Champions League games with swathes of empty seats. I’d like to see their turnouts with no tourist or plastic fans (who used to support Chelsea or Arsenal when they were the trendy team)

Why don't you tell them to wait another 10-15 minutes?
Well seeing we are playing a bit better now all the poor me can’t get a season ticket for the bad early leavers are out in force
I stay the full game about 95% of the time but when people want to leave its up to them
Start confronting people instead of being a fucking sweetie wife on here :shh:

Just goes with the majority opinion.
Edit: Should add, makes no odds to me if anybody else on our bus doesn’t see the full game, that’s up to them.
If they start applying added time like they did in the World Cup, people could genuinely be missing 30+ minutes at the end of the game. It's mental.

It isn’t an excuse, it’s a reason. He can leave when he wants without having to justify himself.

I get what your saying a bout Citys fan base but the poster asked about comparisons with other major teams so thats the one ive experienced,
I still think some of our fan base are blinkered and entitled though, the fact they (some) booed the team off in Beales first game at HT was a low for me, for what it’s worth I believe a lot of it is due to dynamics of our league (two big teams win at all costs)
getting back to leaving early I remember people used to say the Disaster was a major factor in it occurring but surely that’s not whats making the new generation do it

The club could contract the Chinese government to install some high-res AI facial recognition cameras to identify people leaving early, so MyGers points can be docked from them
would certainly be cheaper than the worldwide pandemic we got them to start for us to win 55.

I cannot stand it seeing people leaving so early. Does my head in big time. Leave at 75 mins and you’re missing roughly 3 full games of football worth of minutes a season (based on 19 home games a season) what if Rangers emailed you and said here is your ST for the year, oh but btw, you can’t attend 3 games this season.
You look around the stadium from about 70 mins and streams of people leaving. I just don’t get it, what’s the benefit? To get home that little bit earlier? If you’re on a bus you’re surely just sitting waiting on those who stayed until FT anyway?
Each to their own and all but I couldn’t do it.

What if the game is crap and your freezing and wet , you’ve sat since 2:30 , you know we’ve won . I don’t think casually leaving at 89;mins is wrong
15 mins from final whistle.
I take the motor I get in hoose at 6ish.I get in before you?
I take the buses home like I did yesterday coz I went to the Louden before game I get in around hauf 7.
Next Sunday I'm goin to the Loudon again before game starts, fuuk knows when I'll get hame.
I stay to the end and clap the team off.
you only got to go to Copland road to your pub, that's a long, long way Robert.
Ya wee sowl.
I'll buy that for lots of $$$$'s.

Used to do the same when I was a lad. Stayed on PRW just round the corner from Plantation St where I was member of the BB’s.
And also went into the stadium when they opened up the big doors and hoping to see a goal. This was in the 60’s mind you, mobbed terraces, so sometimes had to perch onto one of the metal crush barriers in order to see the pitch.

That’s shocking from your bus mate.Up until a couple of months ago(our bus now parks by the back end of the Louden)I was almost always the last person back on our RSC bus due to my seat being the very back row of the Copland rear and the bus being parked away down Helen St.I’d be raging if they just took off and didn’t wait for me.
The worst burger ever haha

I know but I have been on crutches since September, feels like about 3 miles
I'm always in late but always last out the Govan
Your bus leaves an hour after the final whistle if it’s the one from Hexham way. And if so many members leave at HT so I’d probably avoid taking the high ground here because I left at 80 minutes

There must be someone reading this thread that leaves between that 70-75 minute range religiously. Own up and tell us all why you do it. Make no mistake you stay far later when we play the vermin and on European nights when things are going well. I'd love these gloryhunters to be weeded out. Supporters my arse.

You'll be leaving early, for food, at the cup final then. Sweet.
They don’t serve up cold hot dogs I’ll be fine at Hampden and at 99% of other games
