When it’s people’s hard earned money being spent on watching games like today, I can totally understand why you don’t want to go. Equally, fair play to those fans who do go to watch 6-0 hammerings, because that’s no fun at all! I guess it’s the hope that kills you, but have games like today become so lopsided that the chance of winning is minuscule?

We don’t really have anything other than a rare flukey win or draw to look forward to with City. Home or away. That’s just a fact.

Probably be better next season to forfeit the game and lose 3-0.

Re: Fans leaving on 70 minutes. Jokers.
Absolutely! However, the chances of winning games like today have seemingly become more like one in one hundred, if that! This can’t be healthy for the game overall IMO, and will inevitably mean hard-working fans won’t want to waste their money going to these games.Bordeauxclaret wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 9:08 pmI do get where you are coming from, but this is football, more in the modern world.

It’d be interesting to see what the away attendance was at the Ethihad over our 6 season stay in the Prem under Dyche.

Air Fryer, is that what was dropped on Nagasaki in 1945?
All I need is gas and a frying pan. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle (just like me).
If you can fry it after doing some bacon, then you're in absolute heaven.

Most clubs in the PL are there to make up the numbers, they're never going to amount to more than cannon fodder.
Attendances will probably level out and stagnate for a lot of clubs when their fans come to the above realisation.
They're not going to see many, if any, European adventures, or decent cup runs, simply because of the financial stranglehold a number of clubs have on the league and domestic cups.

Re: Fans leaving on 70 minutes. Jokers.
I remember being 6-0 down to Man City at home in the third division and it was the first (and only) time my dad said, 'come on, we're going' before the final whistle, but then we still stood at the top of the Bob Lord block 4 stairs until the final whistle.
I still don't really understand why that happened. Either we were going, or we weren't, and in the end we did both and neither. I think my dad just wanted to get closer to the touchline so he could flick his woodbine at Stan in a fit of pique.

Lord Beamish wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 8:33 pmNot me. 4 years ago, jaded and bored by our humdrum existence in the Prem I didn’t renew my ST. It had dawned on me that the 7th place finish and adventure in the Europa was actually the absolute peak of what we could achieve and I’d seen it.
I picked and chose my matches from there on in and gradually attended fewer and fewer games as our performances, even against the mediocre sides like us, got more and more tedious.
I realised I want to go on matches to enjoy the football as much as the win. The last few seasons under Dyche completely extinguished any passion I had for going on. As good as Dyche was for Burnley, I was glad that we got rid. He and we had stalled.
Kompany’s brand of football, along with my youngest daughter’s desire to come on and watch matches has brought me on again this season, and a ST has been bought for both of us. The main reason for this is because I don’t think we’ll be able to reliably come on on a match by match basis next term.
I can’t see us attending all the matches as I probably won’t bother coming onto the games like City as we’ll more likely then not get absolutely smashed, and I’ve no interest at all in watching such a one sided contest in person. Watching on telly this evening, I was quite happy to turn off after the third goal made an end of any contest that had existed.
We’ll never win anything whist we’re in the Prem, we’ll just make up the numbers. The best we can hope for is to stay up and, let’s be honest, even that gets boring after a while. Relegation was a blessed mercy for us in the end. It’s given us the best season we’ve had in years. All todays game has shown us is a taste of what we have to look forward to next term.
Yeh it’s terrible being smashed in the premier league,please bring back the good old days being smashed by Hereford in league 2

Re: Fans leaving on 70 minutes. Jokers.
Only one embarrassing person on here
A close family member lost a full day's pay today to take my grandson, which for reasons you don't need to know, I couldn't take him
I don't know if you've noticed,but people are struggling money wise
So, having given all that up, and having sung non stop for 80 min, I have no problems with them leaving early,to make the long journey home that much easier
Only the thickest of fans would have a problem with that...

This is from City's POV, so the green results are bad, but from 1974 onwards it makes grim reading for us. Not won away there in my lifetime.
I was trying to work out with my dad why we played them in the Charity Shield in 73 because neither of us had won the first division or the FA Cup - someone fill me in?

Re: Fans leaving on 70 minutes. Jokers.
I've left games early many times over the years for many different reasons which is the choice we all have. One thing I wouldn't do is slag anyone off for their choice. Each to their own, it's a game of football.........
Ps I left the game at not long after the 6th goal went in to walk to my car and not get stuck in traffic. Felt miles better for doing it and was back home in no time to meet my wife round at friends for a drink

The 1973 FA Charity Shield was contested between Burnley and Manchester City in a fixture that took place at Maine Road. For the third consecutive year, neither the reigning Division One champions (Liverpool) nor the reigning FA Cup holders (Sunderland) chose to compete; instead, Burnley, the reigning Second Division champions, were invited to play Manchester City, the reigning holders of the Shield.
Burnley won the match 1–0 thanks to a goal from defender Colin Waldron.

Re: Fans leaving on 70 minutes. Jokers.
I totally agree with the OP. I have mentioned it a few times this year and got load of abuse. My old man would never leave a Burnley game early. He always thought it was the right thing to do to support the team until the end. He has instilled that into me, my brother and we are doing that with our sons. I class myself as a proper supporter who is there until the end win, lose or draw. My conclusion after seeing some responses from people this year who try to validate leaving the ground early with pitiful excuses are that they are not a true representation of a real Burnley supporter.

I didn't go, I stayed at home and watched most of it on tv, once it went 4-0 I tuned over to a different channel only because it was hard to watch us suffer another battering at City, I think because we've had such a fantastic season I couldn't watch us being taken apart, if I was at the game I'd of stopped the entire game but people are different and if you pay your money you can make your own choice, calling fellow fan's jokers is you choice but ridiculous in my personal view

You do realise you don’t win a supporters trophy?pushpinpussy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 8:05 amI totally agree with the OP. I have mentioned it a few times this year and got load of abuse. My old man would never leave a Burnley game early. He always thought it was the right thing to do to support the team until the end. He has instilled that into me, my brother and we are doing that with our sons. I class myself as a proper supporter who is there until the end win, lose or draw. My conclusion after seeing some responses from people this year who try to validate leaving the ground early with pitiful excuses are that they are not a true representation of a real Burnley supporter.
You staying to the end and suffering through a mauling doesn’t mean you’re a better fan. Burnley literally have fans all over the world, I would say the fan that travels to one game a season from let’s say Japan or New Zealand is just as much a fan as you are.
