I was talking to 2 old guys from Plymouth after the game. They said in all their lives watching football they'd never seen a stadium empty so quickly as when that 4th goal went in.
I haven't either, and there must have still been another 20 minutes or so to go.
-
It did empty very quickly and in large numbers. Not everyone I should add, but a fair amount of d**kheads left so it was probably a good thing on balance.
-
Grimsby away left far quicker
-
No me too, I think the problem today was we could all see that was not the last goal, we were lucky to keep it to 5.
It had also been built up as a must win. We just can’t defend as a whole at this level.
-
On a positive note it was a doddle getting out of the car park
-
I was in hospitality, and the tables still looked full after the second half had started!
It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people didn't bother taking their seats in the stand for the second half.
-
I would have stayed aa well and got peed up , though I thought I was peed up watching that unbelievable performance

What time did Molyneux turn up for MOTM? We gave up and left just after half 5

Excuse me Chris Black, but my wife and myself have supported the Rovers for more than 60 years and in our younger days never missed a home or away game.
We were two who left on 70 minutes, and this was a first for us, however we both did not feel we could watch any longer.
Now I am certainly no d**khead and neither is my wife.

I was at the children’s Xmas party in the Belle Vue Bar.
Mols was the only player who didn’t turn up.
I assumed it was because he was on MOTM duties
-
I bet those who were calling TLT a shit bas**rd stayed till the end, they must be better fans than those who left after the penalty.
-
Was there a fire drill?

To be fair, he did say some but not all were d**kheads that left.

I don't know. We left not long after full time.
-
I took off after the 4th - I'd taken a first timer and didn't want to put the poor chap through any mor of my ravings.... Hopeless today and the love-in is over. You just need to organise a team and strategy... I think Grant is over-thinking things...
Anyway - I hope he is having a shit night at home...

I was just going to say the same

The whole team might have been kept back in the changing rooms for a debrief/bollocking.
Grant might not have seen the collection of a man of the match award as being more important.

Me too. I'm not one for mixing with footballers, just doing their jobs not super heroes etc, but my little lad loved it.
Thought considering the shite afternoon the lads did a great job with the kids, can't have been much fun for them.
-
Only left before the end two or three times ever but got up after the fifth went in, tbh I was busting for a piss.
I'm still more than likely going to get Blackpool tickets today, nurse !!!
-
I left on 70 minutes, I think that's the first time I've ever left that early. We just wanted to go back into town for a drink.
-
Dont often leave early even stayed at Orient and clapped :s But it was freezing and the team were not making any efforts so said to lad lets go. TBF he wanted to stay but I was driving.
-
Never left early. Always interested in the reaction at the final whistle and the players reaction.

Not good, but not enough people left for it to make much difference!

Yes I know. Merely asking the question
-
Usually stop and clap them off but was out of there as soon as the final whistle went. Not much to clap about (after the 10th minute)
-
I’ve left games early a few times over the years. If I feel that the team aren’t putting the effort in then neither will I.
Based on my own memory, of all the games that I’ve attended I don’t think that I’ve ever walked out before the end and missed an astonishing fight back.

A few left a few year back when we went to 1-2 down in the 90th minute against Crewe to eventually win 3-2, Andy Williams getting the winner.

Agreed after that performance it was probably the last place the lads wanted to be.
But the kids don’t really know any different and the lads still gave their time.
Some of them hovered around the edges and seemed like they couldn’t wait to leave.
But others got right into the thick of it for the kids.

I left in the 92nd minute for a pee and never went back. I got back to Bradford just before 6. A horrible drive over for the game and an even worse drive back after. I was still freezing when I got back.

You exiles that travel over for so many home games are a credit to our club. Real fans.
Take a bow, Idler.

I'm a tight bas**rd, no matter how shite it is, I think to myself I've paid to watch this so I'm sticking it out to the bitter end, no matter what.

Good old J. You remind me of the guy who found a pair of crutches in the attic, so he went down and broke his wife's legs.

For me too.

Keep the windows closed and try the heater controller in your car, that might help you warm up on your travels.

Classic Mick Miller I think Steve!! The old ones are the best!

In the Championship days I’d often see a geezer on the same train as me heading up to Donny for the Rovers game from Kings X. He was always on his own so a couple of times I’d try to engage him in conversation but to describe him as a man of few words was an understatement. In fact, he’d often give me a shimmering ‘just piss off and leave me alone’ look! Fair do’s.
I do recall that I never saw him on the return journey home though, neither in Donny station nor on the train. One day I braved it and asked him what time train he got back to London and he said that he left every game at exactly 70 minutes so he could catch a train that saved him about a fiver in his ticket. No smile, laugh or irony. It was the right thing to do in his eyes.
As soon as we dropped out of the Championship I never saw him again. I might need to add him to the missing fans thread.

Donnywolf found a plaster once, so he cut himself.

Truly magnificent stuff. Given his age he waited a lifetime to see Rovers back in the second tier, yet the £5 cheaper ticket was a price well worth paying despite the 50 year wait. Makes you proud to be a Yorkshireman.

Superb. As my old fella quite often says, “it’s not tight, it’s careful”

20 mins is pushing it but funnily enough, I recall Home Park dramatically emptying several years ago when Alfie May made it 0-3 with about 20 mins to go.
