Early Departures

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Only gripe on a fine day - 17 games unbeaten, 4-0 win, the players deserve better than a half empty stadium for the last 5 mins. East stand in particular emptying our long before the end, each to their own, but baffling how so many can have something so important to get to on a Sunday afternoon that it's worth missing the opportunity to bask in the finest run any of us have ever seen.

Agree. Was thinking the same thing.

[jakedance]

Bugs me as well. They’ll have their reasons but I don’t get it. Seems to be emptying earlier and earlier every week.

Leaving 5 minutes early can save people 30+ mins of their own time getting out, finding their car. Not everyone walks to the game or lives locally.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

I expected a SOL rendition given the achievement today but was looking sparse towards end

[Onceinawhile]

I left early (on 90 mins) so I could get to the club shop to buy a full kit for the wee man. Sure that's not reflective of the wider attendance mind.

Wonder if they do the same at the cinema ? With your rationale I guess so.

Cinema's are deserted. It's hardly comparable to exiting a packed Easter Road.

I usually stay until the end, wasn't there today unfortunately but if I stay to the end of a 3ko, i dont make it home until about 6/7 with public transport. If i leave 10 mins earlier i can be back in the house about 30 mins earlier, sometimes an hour if i miss the usual bus on the way back. I think a lot of it is just practicality, i love hibs, but i also value my time and spending ages waiting on transport and sitting on it isn't something i love doing so can imagine how many others are in a similar situation.

If you want to leave early, go to the cinema.

[Musselbound]

I struggle to see why this bothers people especially as the game was won.

Really? The OP explained pretty well.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Annoys me to fk, Hibs fans have always done this 😡

[wookie70]

One of the reason I love the seats we sit in. Front row of the West Upper so no-one standing up in front of us blocking the view and everyone left and right stays to the end.

[Hibbyradge]

Better to leave early than not go because you're scared of someone criticising you for leaving with 5 minutes to go.

Or not?

What are you yapping about? How is going to the cinema which most days has about 15 people in it max, comparable to 18,000 people leaving Easter Road at once, with many getting the same trams and buses home within 0.5 mile radius, clogging the roads and public transport?

It's always been very odd behaviour

Win, lose or draw do what you want to do.

[Ribs1875]

Football will attract all types of people, folk in seats during the game is good regardless of what time they decided to leave.

I don't get to the games much now due to other commitments with work and life. There are aspects I miss about it and others I don't. Never understood these guys who would take their kids to the game in the east and start arguments with folk because they were swearing infront of their child. Often thought what do these high and mighty parents expect!

[hibsbollah]

One of the reasons i moved out of the east.

If you are making the effort to go and see something where you don’t yet know the ending , stay to the end. That’s what I’m yapping on about.

[Irish_Steve]

I always move down to the front, basically for a quick getaway. I don't care what anyone thinks or says, I can get home about 45 mins earlier if I stay.

If it annoys you, deal with it

Correct, and I usually take full advantage of that 5 mins ... but not today. This team has just done what no other Hibs team had done in 80 years. No way was I leaving early, and I was just as shocked and disappointed to see so many leaving early.

We're 4-0 up, Bowie on a hat-trick, it's a Sunday, the sun was shining and a 2.30 KO. There are no excuses for early leaver today. Team deserved better.

Also, sad to see hundreds of empty seats around the ground.

Don’t know the ending? It was 4-0 🤣

[The Modfather]

The customary thread for folk to moan that strangers are exercising free will and not acting exactly as they are. These threads used to be about strangers not going to games and spending their time and money differently. Shows were in a good place when it’s just a 5 or 10 minute window folk are complaining about strangers acting differently to them.

Yes, well done, at the END it was 4-0.

[Hibbyradge]

I've bought a season ticket for next year but I might have to leave early on occasions depending on when my train back to York departs.

Will you forgive me or would you prefer I stayed home?

I've made the same joke on here every year since the year dot, when this nonsense raises its head, that the only reason I go to games is so I can leave early.

Seriously, I get it that it's irritating when folk want to pass in front of you as they leave, whether that's to go home or to go to the bog at the cinema, but it's such a minor inconvenience.

I suppose it's good that this is all anyone has to complain about these days.

[WhileTheChief..]

Gotta have something to moan about it seams.

Well done to those who left early.

Ok mate, I’ll stay until the end next time, get home an hour later, spend less time with the mrs and kids so that I can win the biggest Hibeee 2025 award ��and when they ask, I’ll tell them Keith says so.
