Seen fans leaving early possibly to beat the traffic?, but that goal is the reason I always stay until the final whistle

Some park in Asda over that way I guess and a certain time limit to when you park to get out that's why they leave or whatever, up to them they missed the goal :bluescarf:

In fairness we never looked like scoring from open play just fortunate we had a freekick in dangerous area.. but football is a 90+ minutes game now

Personally I never leave early, even if we're losing 3-0.

But I get some people will want to get home quicker, especially for night games. Got to remember they've probably had to go to work this morning.

I don't drive but always looks a nightmare leaving CCS by car, especially when there's a crowd of over 31,000.

I can understand people leaving last night just before the end if they need to catch a train etc. I sometimes leave on 90 mins if we are 2 down. And to be fair it was late and we didn't look like scoring last night. What I couldnt understand was some people leaving while Colwill was waiting to take the free kick. If you have waited 5 mins and 50 secs into added time surely you want to stay for the last 10 seconds with a free kick on the edge of the box. Very odd.

I used to think it was a wasted evening, if people left early with a single goal deficit either way or maybe even drawing, and an event as good as last night occurred (as it has many times); but nowadays, I just think it’s up to them, and it’s their loss when thy have to tell others (if they’re being honest) that they didn’t actually see what happened

Last night was one of those occurrences you had to be there to truly celebrate, and that was a golden ticket for those many thousands of Bluebirds who remained to the end! :bluebird: :ayatollah:
