if a team is well ahead or well behind then yes, no problem. but at 20 all with 3 minutes to go?

I was so engrossed in the game I didnt notice anyone leaving, moving etc. I thought that the Huddersfield plans was, as the missing link came back on, was for them to get a one pointer. I did believe we could win it and by god the boys proved me right!

Thought Thayler had an awful game - I mean. If Ali had offloaded when the tackle was complete, shouldnt that have been a penalty not a scrum with head and feed to the Giants?

Thaler seemed to make a gesture to his mouth that suggested that he had called held. I've never seen it result in a scrum though before.

Was a strange one because the Giants players were making no effort to release him either so they can't of heard it.

bit unfair to players, least applaud them at the end

Exactly.

and there was me thinking that he was boored and wishing he was down the pub with his mates - as in a packet of condoms!

Never left a game early yet, always want to applaud the players win or lose but respect other peoples rights to leave when they like.

was he so excited?

What ^ he ^ said .
Don't you just love it when you get back to the coach celebrating a win and there are people already on the coach that think we lost ?
Wakey last year a prime example .

Does it count if you turn the radio off early?

Best I've seen was back in 2003 down 20-0 to saints and a plonker to my right had been screaming abuse at the lads and with 21 mins to go stomped off I often wonder how he felt when he got to his pub bemoaning the team to discover we won 30-20 .

Was it last season , or the one before when we were losing (away) to Quins , not long to go ? A few people around us left . We saw them back at the coach and we had won by maybe 10 points IIRC .
Quality moments .I never leave before the end whatever is happening on the pitch . Some of the best moments in most matches are the final moments . A last minute winner or an outstanding consolation score brought about by 'we don't give a fk cos we lost anyway' attitude .
People that leave early usually miss the best part of the game .

Leaving early to get on a coach is the daftest thing I have ever heard.

Woud you leave the cinema ten minutes before the end of a film?

I don't understand the big fuss about this.

Who cares really if people leave early? they paid their money it is their choice. Personally I didn't see people leaving with 8 minutes left, but saw a big rush as soon as the drop goal went over. And like someone said earlier a lot do go to the corners of the ground to ensure easy get away.

Personlly I am in the middle of the aisle in the seats, so can't get out, but If I chose to, I couldn't give a 5h1t what people think who post on a message board.

Personally I would sooner have 5 or 6 hundred people in their for the game paying but leaving early, than all these posters (and many on this thread) who are quick to moan about fans, yet who don't turn up each week.
