Who goes home if their team is loosing?
Seriously now, what does everyone think of sooky la la's that go home halfway through the last quarter if their team is loosing? I personally think it is a mortal sin to leave before the final siren (of course theres extreme circumstances where you have no choice) but "beating the crowds" is just a lamo excuse, for "cant take loosing".

Personally I'd rather leave in the last quarter if my team was losing because yes, you do beat the crowds, yes you dont have to hear your oppositions club song over the loudspeaker, and yes you do have a valid argument, but lets face it, no one likes to see their team lose?

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Ryan, wheres you endurance? if you barracked for the Bulldogs, I'd be giving you a mouthful, na thanks for your honesty and one question I have for you tho, have you ever left early when there's been a comeback and your team ends up winning?

This topic doesn't apply to Nth Melbourne Kangaroos. Because in order to leave. First... You must attend.

Same applies for Melbourne supporters... usually driving their Land Rovers up to Mount Buller!

In 30 years of going to the football, I have never once walked out before the final siren, and being a Swans fans I've seen a LOT of pretty bad beltings.
In my opinion it must be very deflating for a player/team to look up and see some/all their supporters giving up on them

If I left early, I wouldn't have seen much footy in the past six years. I've become pretty resilient to losses, so I'm always there until the end.

A lot of Crows fans are shallow and leave Aami early if losing. The Port fans that actually go are pretty loyal til the end which I admire. I always stay

The only reason the Port fans stay is because they paid a whole $15 and dont want to waste a cent!

Agreed Kristy but I'm glad they do. It gives me great pride to give em a wave and yell BYE SEE YA LATER!! BYE BYE.
It's the pits, I'II leave early if the club walks off the ground. My take on it is "if it's good enough for them to stay out there, I'm supporting em"
Watching the Cats supporters leaving earlier this year was great.

I never go home early I sit there till the end. I must say the Port Supporters were good at last years GF I think most of them stayed till the end.
