Atmosphere at Full Time on Saturday?

(Thankfully) Couldn't make it on Saturday - ironically first game since I've missed since Southend - just wondering about the reaction at Full Time?
 
I’d long gone at that point but from videos on YouTube don’t think there was any booing and a few clapping them off.
 
As a side note, and this might not go down well, but are we the worst side in the league for this exodus of fans even before the 90 mins are up never mind stoppage time? I watched QPR v Stoke last night and Stoke got a late 2nd and only a very small amount of QPR fans seemed to leave with the majority staying till the end. If that was us we would be piling out. Obviously that’s only one example but we really do leave in our droves when the killer 80th whatever minute goal goes in.
 
Was much quicker to get out at the end, no waiting to get to the steps or bottle neck at the exit. Stayed to the end so missed all the traffic as well.
 
The South was almost empty within seconds after their 3rd goal went in! How things have changed since that half time whistle at Birmingham FFS we’re having a blip not fighting off relegation but goes to show what a fickle support we have!👎

If I was a player and had looked at the South after the third goal, I would have thought “special fans, what nonsense that is”.
 
There was definitely some boo's from the North end of the West. Funny thing was two blokes sat behind me with their kids were saying at 2-0 "never leave a game early, always stay till the end". Third went in and they was off. 😆

The issue we have is we've sort of overachieved getting in the top 6 early on in the season and with that expectations change and suddenly just staying up and consolidating isn't enough.

They probably were not soaked and freezing.

Why are people so hung up on what time other people leave ?

For what its worth I stayed right until the end on Saturday as I figured it would be quicker getting out....

It was too. Quickest I've ever down down the stairs rather than shuffling down one every thirty seconds.
 
We left because of how wet we were and the temperature and I think a lot of others did too. If it had been warm and sunny ,no problem with mass fans leaving

Well I must be a special fan then as I was in the South until the whistle. However sad to see so many leaving but on this occasion I dont think the rain, wind and cold helped.

During the 0-5 drubbing by Liverpool 1000s of united fans left at half time. So no we are nowhere near the worst.

Nothing fickle about going when you have had enough , you pays your money you takes your choice.
 
It is the police.
Instead of keeping the away fans in for 10 minutes, they let the home fans out 10 minutes early.

Only to be expected after a heavy home defeat and the poor run of results.

Why the fuck would anyone be booing ? We lost a game of football, they all gave it their best but weren’t good enough on the day. Some people have very short memories on this board.
 
It was cold, wet, no chance of a comeback, and the opportunity to not have to wait 45 minutes to get out of one of the worst car parks in the country ahead of others. I'm surprised anyone expected anything different tbh. What we should be mentioning is that it was another 11k+ attendance in atrocious conditions against one of the lesser fancied teams, despite worries of a sub 9k crowd. It was a decent effort by pool fans on Saturday imo.
 
Silence is acceptance as they say. Sometimes you do need to show your displeasure to the Manager and some of the players by letting them know that what you have just watched is not acceptable. Having no reaction and just sloping off, or even approval (by clapping) just sends the message to carry on everything is ok, which, reading the posts on this message board it obviously isn't.
