Johnny Shearer Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 (edited) Saints fans (or they will claim they are) who left with 20 to go got some abuse but should have got more. Do behave. If people want to leave early its their prerogative. Booing is one thing but when people get called w**kers/c**nts/etc its not on. They probably had enough - at least they turned up to watch and support the team for awhile anyway. The ground wasn't full by all means. Do you think they are likely to return after experiencing that? Especially now when the club needs all the support it can get.

sidthesquid Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 The proof of who is really a fan will be Easter Monday, particularly if we fail dismally in the next two away games & the sun is out. The turn-out then will prove who really gives a sh1t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamsaint Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 If people felt like leaving on 70 mins, 3-1 down against the bottom team, with the club in administration, and with 3 home wins all season, I for one don't blame them. It would have taken a miracle of biblical proportions to turn the game round at that point, since the team was playing quite hopelessly.(as they do most home games) I certainly felt like leaving, but stuck it out as I have for the last 40 years. I don't go to every home these days either. Plastic, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSquirrel Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 People who leave early deserve to be booed. I've never understood why people do it. Some possibilities - the football was crap, they received a text which told them where some paint was drying they could watch, needed to mow the lawn before it got dark. The fact that people bothered to turn up and pay good money just to watch it go down the drain is to be applauded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 The attitude of some of the c**nts in the northam today, because that is the only word I can think of to describe them, was atrocious. I had some kids behind me shouting "Pork" every 30 seconds, stupid unfunny ****s, turns out in the end the bloke was about 35, moron. The row was full of the same self-righteous morons waving their season ticket booklets around shouting "bwp hates plastic fans". Well ****ing bully for you, you do realise that attitude will keep out attendances down and not up, including shouting abuse at the people leaving at 3-1. Yeah, it was annoying, but you don't call them ******s, get a mirror you ****s. *and breath* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 Leaving early is a demonstration of feelings, similar to going on strike. There is very little a fan can really do to show his displeasure, but by walking out early it is an indication that he is disappointed/angry with the efforts of the team. I'd rather see fans leaving when we are playing like complete arses and showing the management just how they feel, than put up with the pillocks who leave ten minutes early every match so that they can 'get ahead of the traffic'. These are the same people who usually leave their seats ten minutes before half time to avoid the queues for Bovril and arrive back in their seats ten minutes into the second half.

IMO fans leaving early shows they have given up on the team. Today that really wound me up, because if we give up on the team, we may well not have a team to support next season. For the record I was not one of those people who abused those leaving, or waved my season ticket, but I do understand why they did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Fag Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 I dont get this, we urge people to return to support the team but also because we need the money to try to last until the end of the season and hopefully get a buyer in. Then we abuse the same people, so they probably wont return for the last two games, losing sorely needed money in the coffers.

IN MY DAY Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 Man woman and child and even zimmer frame, turned up to show there solidarity today. I was sat in the area were most of the fans got up and left when we went 3-1 down, some solidarity!! Why come to a game for 70 min, this wasnt about losing a game 3-1 with 20 minutes to go this was about LOSING OUR CLUB. Im sorry if the abuse was over the top, but if you did leave early why?. Are you the first in the lifeboat, last one out the bunkers, or let someone else go first?. Did you stand there and applaud Leons 'great speech' about all pulling together? and then leave after 70 mins. And if a few are playing children card as a father of 4 how do explain why you left early. Good example of what do when your back against the wall. So its clear, i dont go week in week out, i go when i want to and when my son wants to come with me, but i will be there for the rest of the season and if we lose, we lose it'll just be another miserable saturday night but the club must survive.

paulsfc Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 Have to say me and my mates were moaning about the people that leave early as well but abusing them takes it to a whole different (and unjustifiable, imo) level. However there is a massive difference between fans leaving early in protest and fans leaving early to beat the traffic which I see at every game. I could not believe the streams of people leaving at 2-3 with 4 mins of injury time to go. Absolutely mind boggling. Why go to football if you're happy to miss possibly an equaliser or a last minute winner just because you don't want to spend 15 mins in a traffic queue. Pointless. (Just my opinion though!) The 'plastic' fans chants are out of order as well. It costs, most games, £26 just for a ticket to go to a game. Factor in a programme, food & drink and 1 person can spend £35 to go and watch 90 mins of utter rubbish (which it has been for the last 2 yrs). It's no wonder that loads of fans aren't turning up for most games. It's just not value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 I've only missed two games in total this whole season. It's been evident for a while that I believe we won't stay up. But recently I'm not too bothered about the results, like yesterday. We may get a 10 point deduction anyway and I can't see us staying up even without the deduction. Yesterday in the Itchen there was about 10 of us singing for the whole of the second half and pretty much everyone else forward from row GG was sat. That may have been the 3rd to last game some people will EVER get to see their team at St Mary's and they just sit there and moan, leave early and don't sing or make any noise at all. I wasn't singing to spur the team on yesterday, it was for my pure love of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 Turning up to their first league game this season to enable them to buy a ticket to see us play manchester united, plastic fans? Yes, it could be argued. Turning up to watch the team they support who has just entered administration, with the most hated board for years resigning and the club needing them now more than ever? No, NOW SUPPORT THE BLOODY TEAM Not sure what you're getting at here Nexstar but any fan regardless of his or her depth of motivation for following The Saints is a Saints Fan first and foremost. 27000 odd fans turned out yesterday to watch Wotte's poor team underperform again. But they came. Reality is that we have 14000 diehards. The rest still love this club and many showed that yesterday by coming out. No such thing as a plastic fan - only Saints fans. Some give everything, some give as much as they can, some give when they can, some when the feel they can. Regardless of their motivation I loved seeing them all yesterday - highlight of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born In The 80s Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 This thread is laughable. I can't believe so many of our fans have this embarrassing "super fan" attitude. I am happy to admit that i was one of those fans who left early yesterday. I left as soon as the 3rd went. My reasons for leaving? Simply i was totally disatisfied with the 'product' being offered. Why would i continue to subject myself to 20 more minutes of utter drivel when i could be back in the pub laughing and joking with my mates? It's not the first week i've left early either. I frequently leave early when i feel let down by the players and i certainly felt that yesterday. These guys swan around town like they're some kind of superstars. If you can back it up on the pitch then fair enough, but unfortunately none of our boys can. At the end of the day, fans play little or no part whatsoever in influencing the result. This has been proved on numerous occassions. So if as many of us can make these useless overpaid tossers feel about 2 foot tall by leaving 20 minutes early then great. The abuse i copped yesterday for leaving was laughable. I was in my usual seat in the northam. Had a season ticket in there since the new stadium opened and i can safely say that next year i am ****ing off to another part of the ground. Mind you, these little 14-19 year old runts are harmless. All bark and no bite. What some of them need is a good ****ing shoeing from an angry cardiff fan or something. Bring them down a peg or two, becuase quite frankly, they are a complete embarrassment.

The players probably wouldn't even notice and any potential investor is not going to give a monkeys. I left early because I couldn't stand watching my team get outclassed by the worst team in the league. I couldn't give a monkeys what a bunch of spotty gimps in the Northam thought. I've had a ST for a decade and a week or so ago travelled the length of the country to watch a similar shower of ****e so I will leave early whenever I like, if anyone has a problem with that they are a dickhead.
