You left at the peak of the usual rush for the exits. So running the greatest risk of being jostled and pushed etc. If you had stayed until the final whistle, even a few mins afterwards to applaud the players off the pitch, then casually made your way to the exits, you may have found the crowds outside were already begining thin down.I left the game yesterday80mins reason being my goal was to go to the game following emergency abdominal surgery 2 weeks ago and I did not want to be jostled and pushed in the subway first time ever leaving early in x amount of years, I was delighted to achieve y goal, please don't put every one in a category as their could be extenuating circumstances

YesOk, so I lose out on MyGers points because I actually have to leave midweek games early sometimes to make a nightshift?
Nah.
So, you’re agreeing with me?So is leaving early.
Nope, never going to happen.Yes
If it was to ensure Ibrox was far busier at full time then it would be far more beneficial to the team
I left because I wanted to get food on the way back, honest enough to admit it mateNot having a direct go at you OAH but since you have been honest enough to admit it, why did you leave early and did you have somewhere to be ?
for everyone that supports the right for someone to leave early, what if every single person in the ground did so on 75 mins, leaving a completely empty stadium?
would that still be ok or would it be utterly mortifying?
like everything else these days, it’s just people being selfish and a belief that there’s no wider consequences to their personal behaviour
That’s just not true, at 80 there are people leaving but it you stay until the end you are gridlocked on the stairways jostling to get out.You left at the peak of the usual rush for the exits.

It's been that way when we were playing some belting football as well.The football at Ibrox has been dire for a long time now. Can't criticise anyone for not staying until the end with the quality on show.
Maybe the part timers are finding it difficult to justify why they leave early. To avoid the rush they say. But they are the rush.With the amount of people on this thread purporting to religiously stay to the final whistle and beyond, I cannot see how there would be an empty stadium.
You weren't even at Ibrox yesterday but are getting on at folk who were.I was at a league one game today - 95% of fans stayed until the end.
Alcohol and the lack of ability to wait a short time for the next drink is the cause at Ibrox.
Amazing man hahahahaYou weren't even at Ibrox yesterday but are getting on at folk who were.
I would like the Club to carry out a survey about people's leaving times and the reason for not staying to the end of the game.Threads like this always degenerate in to a slagging match.Me and my pals always stay to the end but we live in the Glasgow area and usually head to the pub.I get it if people are traveling distances and have to get away sharp to get train and bus connections but it seems like far too many leave for everyone to be trying to catch a bus in time.There must be a range of reasons for doing this.Surely not everyone is trying to beat "the rush".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.
That’s just not true, at 80 there are people leaving but it you stay until the end you are gridlocked on the stairways jostling to get out.
Why do people lie to suit their narrative?
The people who can't go 45 min without having a drink really are pathetic.Lots of people leave at half time so they can go to the pub.
Yesterday wasn’t as bad as it has been in the past. Its still pathetic the amount leaving early, but I thought yesterday that the Stands weren’t as empty as usual.45000 at k.o. 5000 with 10 minutes to go not great in anybody’s books.
No chanceThe rugby kicking off at 4:45 will have been a factor today.
He said 80 minutes was the busiest time to leave and suggested the final whistle was better, clearly isn’t true.unless, as was suggested by the poster, you stay in your seat until the gridlock is dispersed
That reminds me of the golfers who brag about how quickly the get a around 18 holes for some reasonLad at my work brags about when he’s in the house by after every home game , leaves the 75th minute , ridiculous
I’m always one of the last to leave.That’s just not true, at 80 there are people leaving but it you stay until the end you are gridlocked on the stairways jostling to get out.

A but like pretty much every home team up and down the country unless it’s a ‘big game’Cantwell and Raskin must have looked round and wonderd what the fcuk was happening.
99% of the stadium sat in silence during the game and then only around 10,000 left at the final whistle.
Must be thinking that the whole Rangers fans/atmosphere thing is a myth - which it largely is for home games.
Not true.A but like pretty much every home team up and down the country unless it’s a ‘big game’
Good for you.I’m always one of the last to leave.
The stairs and concourse are almost deserted.
I would probably save about 10 minutes if I fucked off a few minutes earlier.
I’ve never missed a goal in my entire adult life.
I think that outweighs any advantage of getting a pint 10 minutes earlier.
Back when I was married you had to drag me out the stadium screaming.
Yes, I’m sure that’s what they’re thinking.Cantwell and Raskin must have looked round and wonderd what the fcuk was happening.

At least one person in my row who I haven’t noticed leave early before mentioned the rugby when they left at 80 minutes, can’t be the only one.No chance
They will have been. It won't have gone unnoticed. Probably have never experienced anything as extreme as that. 10,000 fans left at the end of a game from a crowd of 49,000. It's not normal.Yes, I’m sure that’s what they’re thinking.
No they never, ffs.Cantwell and Raskin must have looked round and wonderd what the fcuk was happening.
50,000 moaning is still superior to anything at Carrow Road. I always refer back to Spartak Moscow fan footage, shit game, shit atmosphere yet for them in that wee corner it was bedlam hearing us sigh and groan and occasionally cheer a corner.They will have been. It won't have gone unnoticed. Probably have never experienced anything as extreme as that. 10,000 fans left at the end of a game from a crowd of 49,000. It's not normal.
I wasn’t disputing your claim.Good for you.
The fact remains that if you leave at the full time whistle the stairways are busy and you’re jostling for position (I know because I’m one of the ones doing it) and at 80 minutes you can walk straight out.
The opposite of the claim being made.
A twat?*I left early yesterday and didn’t get the Subway. What am i called?
I know of 3 that left to watch the rugby yesterdayNo chance
customers mate, nothing more, just customersFuq 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?

No chance
I did leave on 80 minutes because I was meeting someone in town to watch the rugby
Was going to say pretty much this. My travel, circumstances. Personally choices are mine. I sometimes stay to the end, sometimes leave early and to be honest it doesn’t bother me what others do, what does amuse me is why other people care what I do. And not to ruin the OP point, I do t use the subway or drink after the game!Don’t just spout random pish like that to reinforce a point. How the hell can you know what folk do during a game before leaving at whatever time they leave at.
Jesus what a load of bollocks.
Is that MoodyBlue’s current incarnation? That’s the weird shit he used to do.No 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.
Believe so.Do you know if this 8:30 sailing time is being made permanent mate?
But it isn't just someone at the back of the CD. It's half the CD.The players should focus on the game, not getting exasperated by someone in the back of the Club Deck leaving.
Depends where he is travelling too, I get the two hours won’t be outside the ground but I drive back to Wales and it’s different bits of the journey that add on during that 6 hour drive and a kick up at the stadium adds to that."at least 2 hours" ??!
I find that difficult to believe in all honesty.
It depends on your perspective. Almost every game for some of us is, and always has been, a “can’t wait”. I’ve done almost 50 years of it. Although recent disability means I now have to apply for an Access Pass before I can even get into the stadium again.Im sure I remember Gerrard calling the fans out on it, nothing changed and don’t expect it to.
As much as we all love Rangers, 2 games a season against Ross County at Ibrox is on nobody’s ‘can’t wait for that game’ list
So it's dire for a long time. They still go back. Leave the ground before the match finishes because it's dire again.The football at Ibrox has been dire for a long time now. Can't criticise anyone for not staying until the end with the quality on show.
I stay til the end I would say 99% of the time, but the traffic around Ibrox can be horrendous at times. Never had to get the subway myself thankfully or a supporters bus. Don’t drink either so I don’t understand the pub culture associated with football.Was going to say pretty much this. My travel, circumstances. Personally choices are mine.
