However, it was my intention to highlight the worth / need of the city fans to support the team at the end of the match so that we are the 12th man and we can help them cross the line - as seen in the Boro match. Well done to everyone - especially the Canton. Unfortunately there are always a few plonkers who try to be smarmy and clever rather than enter sensible debate. Never mind. I also agree with and respect people's divine right of individual choice. However, there are few reasons given on why people leave before the end of the match as if they are drawn by a magnet. MY personal opinion is that it does not make sense. I gave a few examples of how ridiculous it is I.e would people leave before the end of a theatre performance or cinema film - no. Would they read 9/10 of a book and then cast it aside before finding out the end - no. I'm sure there are plenty of examples. Some of the 'fans' reasons are: I've got to get a bus - so catch a slightly later one. I get stuck in the car park - park in a more convenient place. I've got to walk the dogs - do so before and/ or ask someone else to help. It seems the reasons become ridiculous. And as for going to the bar so they can have a pint andwatch it on telly - What !!! Really. Finally - I am left with an image of people getting in their car in the stadium and driving away when the games still continues when the game might be on a knife edge - and one which they have paid to see. No doubt their radio will be tuned in to a match they could happily see for themselves - just ridicolous!
