This.Do you think the same people would ever leave a cinema before the credits or a gig before the encore?
Maybe they would, but it's definitely something that most of notice and question. If other clubs of a similar size can be shown to have a similar number of fans leaving, then it's fair enough. If it looks like our fans leave earlier, and in more numbers, then that's worth pondering why.
Each to their own, indeed, but leaving early is a phenomenon far more prominent at Ibrox than at grounds with comparable attendances.
I still cringe at the memory of having the piss taken out of our claimed 'loyalty' years ago by drinkers in a pub in England who were watching a game at Ibrox and were thoroughly unimpressed by the exodus. The only reason I could offer was that, perhaps, a higher percentage of our support than in others travelled from afar and had transport connections to make that would get them home at a decent hour.
Our support is fantastic in so many respects. Staying the 90 minutes at Ibrox is not one of them.
