Spot on I cringe when players especially newer ones turn round to applaud the fans only to met with a few stragglers and rows of empty sears, up there with HT booing for me
While the games playing you think players are looking around thinking what’s happening where’s everyone going?
They can fuckin leave whenever they want. They paid their money. Its as black and white as that.
Same mate, my boy and his pal got out the stadium just after 5pm last night, walked back to the car, dropped his pal off and we were home for bang on 6pm, we live in NL.
I don't know or care tbh.
A cheerleader!?
You’ll always get a certain element of that with the ‘once a season casuals’ who I suspect half the time are just looking an excuse for a drinking session. I know a boy who went to Ibrox for the first time and was refused entry to the game for being too far gone. Lucky he wasn’t lifted entirely.
When I had my own ST seat near the back in CR5, I used to have to make my way closer to the front as it got into injury time as I couldn’t get caught after that for getting to the bus. With a very rare exception I could always get a seat on the aisle right at the bottom of the staircase so as soon as the whistle went it was out.
I remember I used to make my way round from the Shed (later Centenary Stand) to the West Terrace with about 5 minutes to go, to allow a quick getaway down the stairs at the final whistle (Old Firm games excepted of course, we went the other way on those days). Many used to do the same, but I can only recall smallish numbers heading out of the ground early. The occasional bad defeat, like Gornik for example, was an exception.
So when there were ridiculously so few inside the stadium at full time, our new players didn't notice at all. BrilliantNo they never, ffs.
Folk greeting about others leaving is bad enough without numerous folk manufacturing scenarios in their mind as some kind of guilt trip.
Drink
Yes.
Left at end yesterday
Its an utter joke mate.Fuq everyone who left after we went 2-1 up at 70+ mins. It drives me insane. Don't they realize the influence it has on the game? Teams love our empty stadium when we think the games done. Fuq the others who left after 3 mins injury time was announced, what are they saving 3 minutes for? Ibrox has the best transport facilities in the UK, subway, buses, trains, a nearby motorway, everyone in Scotland can be back home in 2 hours max. We have fans from Ulster and England who don't get home til all hours. Stay and back the team.
Staying to the end isn't super staunch, making a thread about how you stayed while other people left is.
Maybe next week's thread about it will.
It is a talking point, mate.

So your suggestion for preventing an exodus around the 75+ minute mark is to increase the ST price to the tune of around £200?
Were they "wondering what was happening" ? No, you made that up....So when there were ridiculously so few inside the stadium at full time, our new players didn't notice at all. Brilliant
People exercising their right to leave early for a multitude of reasons isn't much of a talking especially after about a couple of hundred identical threads over the years. Do you have anything to confirm that we are the worst in the UK for leaving early?
Do you think the number of fans still inside the stadium in our game is unusually lower (proportionately as well) than equivalent clubs in other European leagues/further down the division?Were they "wondering what was happening" ? No, you made that up....
Do you think other clubs have the same numbers leaving early?
Proportionally I'd say every big side was the same.
Maybe we can call you a part time supporter. Lol
I’ve been to a couple of English premiership games (Man City) when they have played “lesser teams” and it’s nowhere near as bad proportionally as our home games IMO

I'm not sure, tbh. I imagine that most clubs will have a number of supporters who will leave a match before the final whistle for a variety of reasons.
I champion supporters that support the club. This will include backing the team whether the straits be broad or narrow for the full duration of the game. I don't consider leaving the stadium whenever you want (why would you want to leave?) before the end of the game to be supporting the team. Being a supporter requires you to have a shared commitment with the team. For many who attend Ibrox that commitment simply isn't there. Followers? maybe, supporters? never. To shrug your shoulders and say "I can leave whenever i want" only confirms that they do not identify with the collective.A cheerleader!?
I champion supporters going to follow their team whereas others have some idea in their heads that supporters shouldn't and Scottish football will die etc. which is utter nonsense.
I also champion that supporters can leave Ibrox whenever they want or (as much as it's not for me) stay long after the final whistle and act like a cheerleader....

It's hard to be sure on anything like this but do you think that more people would stay if their buses didn't have sharp cut off times to leave, people could drink or buy beer in the stadium?
Most moaning about folk leaving early probably watched it in the house
No, just February and March on Saturdays, Sundays still have the 7.30pm sailing.
Ok Batman, Elgin in 2 hours? Tell me how.Fuq everyone who left after we went 2-1 up at 70+ mins. It drives me insane. Don't they realize the influence it has on the game?

Yes and yes. However RSCs and drinking are only some of the factors folk leave early. Loads will leave due to commitments outwith football or that they are bored stiff watching a lot of our games.
Guarantee a lot of it is guys that are too henpecked to go for a pint so use this as a very expensive reason to be out the house for a swally.
Not it doesn't, it means supporters who pay their hard earned can make a choice game to game. Where do you hold your season ticket at Ibrox? As next Sunday I'll watch out for the fracas as you stop and berate any early leavers.
