I went v Villa and stayed to the end. Bee at work all day, left at 4, took me 3 hous 10 mins to get to the Etihad. I live in mid Wales and got home at 1am.

What ever is happening on and off the pitch, I will never leave early.

It doesn’t do to judge people too swiftly when you don’t know the circumstances. We sit in the family stand and it’s a late night for kids. Many left early for that reason and after all, they pays for the ticket and it’s their call!

I left at half time of extra time when their 4th went in. The last time I left early was probably 47 years ago when I was 16!

You see, I live in the West Highlands of Scotland and usually work during the week in Mid Wales, so I only come to a mid week game when I’m in Mid Wales and then I have a 5 hour round trip. Extra time may suit some but not me and when we play like we did against Villa it’s about as welcome as a fart in a diving suit. I don’t get to bed until well after midnight when it’s a 90 min game and as I get up at 6 am for work I could see no point in extending my suffering for another 15 minutes, instead I avoided the traffic, it was much better use of my time!

We do not lack commitment, we often travel 6 hours from the West Highlands to use our season tickets for PL games and when we can’t we give them to friends or family to ensure the seats are never empty.
