I'm watching Dundee Utd getting thrashed 7 -0 by AZ Alkmaar, and the Utd fans started leaving in their droves when the sixth went in. It took me back to when we were losing 6 nil at Villa Park, midweek in a Littlewoods cup tie. I'm glad I stayed till the end, because I witnessed two brilliant late goals from Stockwell and Atkinson. Was anyone else there that night, and did you stay until the end? |  | | |  |

Away at Barnsley, 3 down with 5 mins to go, and we sensationally score 3 times to salvage a draw. It would still haunt me to this day if I'd left that one early. |
I was with my dad at that one. Thankfully, we were in the seats so I was able to stop him getting up and leaving as I said I’d paid for 90 and was watching 90. He didn’t learn his lesson but he never left early with me with him again. |  |

Only left two matches early - a drab 0-0 with Derby in 2011 and the Colchester game on Tuesday, both times nothing to do with the game. Derby I had tickets for a gig in London that I didn't want to miss a second of, so planned to leave at 4.35. I remember driving away with Radio Suffolk on both wanting a winner and mot wanting to miss anything. Colchester was a family emergency; missed the goal as I was under the stand phoning my wife then left a couple of minutes later. Other than that, I won't leave even the worst match (5-0 at Anfield, 0-6 v Liverpool, 0-4 v Newcastle, 1-4 v Bolton twice...) until the final whistle. |  | | |

The 4-1 away at Bolton sprung to my mind. The one which virtually relegated us from the Prem. Stayed til the end but wish I hadn't!
Hope all is well regarding your family emergency. |  |

My then girlfriend (now wife) left the Bolton play-off game at Portman Road in the 89th minute. She was in tears thinking we were getting knocked out, and as she left she bawled "I can't go through this again"
We celebrated 20 years of marriage last month, and safe to say that topic comes up every year. |
You do realise she was talking about the trawling for a suitable partners, getting to know someone new, seeing if they are compatible etc etc, and not the match. |  | | |

I left just before Pablo scored the winner v Coventry but did rush up to join in the celebrations.
Never did it since. |  | | |

The only game that I ever left before it finished was one that I thought had finished.
It was at Leeds when we as good as relegated them from The Championship and their fans were on the pitch.
Firstly I did not think that there was any way that the game would restart and secondly I thought it was probably safer out of the ground than in it.
I was back at the coaches, as were a lot of others, when it became clear that the game would restart and I thought of going back inside but decided against it. |  | | |

I was at the same match and left early as you did as anticipated a pitch invasion by Leeds fans to attack us which is precisely what happened! | | | |

Pablo vs Cov was sublime.
Up the back of the North, they scored, we all swore profusely, many kicked seats, many left.
I stayed, despondent as hell... then a minute later lost my mind. Absolute pandemonium.
Believe the phrase the kids use is 'limbs', all of mine went in separate directions at once
Good times, makes me smile even now. |
My dad got up to leave at 2-2. Me and my grandad refused to leave. He missed the goal and we took the piss all the way home. |  |
