Or just park a little further away - by the time you get back to your car most of the traffic has eased. I park just off Saffron Lane near the leisure centre. Got back to my house in Narborough by 22:20 no problem having used both Soar Valley Way and Narborough Road.

Good call. On the odd occasion I've gotten a lift down to the game from my brother's mate, she has always parked on or near Cavendish Road, by the time we get back to her car, the traffic's eased off and we can get home pretty quickly. Still prefer the walk though!

Imagine if you had left the City 3-3 Arsenal game at Filbert St early...

Never understood it in a million years. I pay good money to see the full game, missing anything would be idiotic. We park in a part of the city that doesnt get overrun with traffic and then walk to the ground, takes 15 minutes but at least I've never missed a goal.

What about 5-1 down to Pompey on a Friday night?

I started walking to the exit when Brown started his Messi.

Why bother going then if your life is disrupted by sitting in traffic for an extra 5 mins?

Do these same people get to the ground an hour early so as to miss the traffic in?

5 minutes? When I was stewarding there last season it was atleast 10x that to get back. I used to just sit in my car for half an hour or so listening to the post match analysis and interviews on radio leicester after each home game and even then the traffic trying to get out was a nightmare.

In answer to your second question, I obviously don't know that but it wouldn't surprise me. The traffic was fairly bad around the stadium and a mile or two beyond about an hour/ hour and a half before kick off.

Yes, so leaving 5 minutes before the end isn't going to make any difference.
You'll have missed the end of the match and you still have to sit in traffic for an age

Surely the traffic is a direct result of 20,000-odd people leaving at the same time. Thus, if you leave early, you are more likely to avoid said traffic?

Why is everyone bothered anyway.. if people want to leave early they will surely have reasons for doing so. I don't see what's wrong with it or indeed, why it's any of your business if someone a few rows away wants/needs to leave early.

Because, as has already been pointed out several times, they are disturbing people who are trying to watch the match.
It must also be distracting to the players, to see people moving towards the exits while the game is still being played

Come off it. All they do is move from their seat down the vomitries then that's the last you see of them. If you are focusing on the fans then I'd wager you weren't particularly gripped by the match in the first place so it's no great loss having your view disturbed for about 5 seconds whilst somebody moves past.

I would like to think the players are professional enough to concentrate on the match.

But it's not just 5 seconds when a whole car load leave together and they stop in front of you to chat, wait for the next person to stand up, or worse to watch the play they are preventing you from seeing.:mad:

Well it's a bit shit if somebody stands right in your view regardless of whether they are leaving or not. This might sound a bit extreme but.. just ask them to move!

Why bother going at all? Why bother shelling out 20, 30, 40 quid to go to a game and the leave early just so you can miss a bit of traffic? Where has anyone really got to be so urgently on a Friday night at 10:00pm (or Saturday at 5:00pm for that matter).

If you've gotta be somewhere else then don't bother coming to the game. I'd never dream of leaving a game early, especially when it's still in the balance just to miss a bit of congestion on the roads. Traffic's just an inevitable problem when 30,000 people all leave the same place at once. It's a very small price to pay. Has anyone in the history of the planet ever thought: "oh I missed the cracking finale to the game and that SUPERB goal, but at least I didn't get stuck in a bit of traffic and got home on time."?

No one would leave the cinema early and miss the end of a film.....that's just STUPID.

come to think of it, I missed the first goal last night because the person in front stood up, lets all ****ing moan about it!:icon_roll

It was me, was delighted when I heard they read it out, it was the first thing my mum and dad have heard from me in a good while, they enjoyed it :)
 
I left the Millwall game as soon as it hit 90 minutes.....naughty me.
 
We left with 20 seconds to go, so we dont get caught up waiting to get down the stairs. Still saw the final whistle as I was on my way down.

And the two gormless women who sit in front of me left early. ****ing loved it.
 
Bar the Forest V Cardiff and Swansea V Doncaster matches this afternoon, the results were extremely kind. 2 points off the play offs and 4 clear of 8th

Would have preferred a point at the City ground today as a defeat for Cardiff will make Tuesday's fixture against us all the more important for them but I can't grumble. Having said that, it could work in our favour and open the game up for an attacking team like us.
