To all those who left as early as 3/4 time....

Post: # 1007106Post saint66au »

...I actually dont begrudge you in all honesty..and thats not me as a rule at all

I made a decision to stay right to the siren, but sitting through that last quarter was the hardest 30mins ive done in a very long time. That was no ordinary loss, it was all about having to sit through the bragging, the chanting, the derision, the bronx cheers and the ear-shattering noise when the siren went and the filth got their flag. It wasnt for everybody trust me

The only issue I have is that your seats were quickly snapped up by delirious Pies fans from Q level or standing room, which just made it that much harder to stomach

I'm sorry.

I have never left a StKilda game before the end - ever.
But today I walked out at the 20 min mark.
Just couldn't take the pain anymore.

Now I feel ashamed.

Yeh collingwood filth were swarming around is in M50 towards the end of the quarter. Started chanting and taunting, i let one supporter know that if he was going to sneak into a seat in a stkilda section, at least have the humility and dignity to shut his mouth. Didn't seem to help...

And one of them who came & sat in my row even tried to steal my Record from right under my seat! To make it worse he stank.

I can't really blame those fans.

But I stayed till our boys left the field.

If they could do it, so could I.

Leaving before the end is gutless, regardless the circumstances. A lot of my close mates are tigers supporters and I was with them the night geelong took their pants down in 07. They were there to the end, supporting the blokes out there waering the jumper.

as long as they are having a crack they deserve the support from the crowd.

Watched through to the bitter end....and the ceremony. If our players have to watch it.....then I will.

Wasn't good though.

Fkn oath. It was like getting constantly heckled at...
Seriously... why would they come to our sections anyway? eh..

I left with around 5 minutes to go, i plan not to watch anything after that on tv as well...for as long as possible.

If it was any other club, I would have stayed, but I couldn't stomach watching that over hyped club win a premiership.
What's that saying my friend had about Collingwood supporters, never a loaded Uzi around when you need one.

Did that last year. Couldn't do it today. Tears started rolling down the face at half time. So close, yet so far.

Sorry from me, I got out at the 20 min mark in the final quarter. Normally I'd wait till the end, but I just couldn't tollerate those feral Pie fans. Sorry boys.

I NEVER leave a game early, feel if the boys have to stay, so should I. Stayed till the very end last year..... Geelong streamers, the works..... But today, i just couldn't. I left with about 10mins to go. Anyone else but collingwood.. just could not stay to watch them.... Leaving and hearing the siren I felt sick and decided I couldn't go tomorrow either... But now, home, had a drink, watched a bit of the aftermatch and the players... I think I need to go. Closure if nothing else... I left early today, but will be at Moorabbin tomorrow.

Sorry we couldn't stay in the area, was terrible when they came piling in! We had to get out of there! Nearly burst into tears when I heard the siren from just outside :(

We never leave before the end of the game and I wasn't about to start today. But God, it was so hard!

I have to admit to not watching the presentation though. Just couldn't do it.

Stayed to halfway thru the presentations. Also suffered thru the many drunk Pie's fans flooding into our area and facing us to heckle us rather than watching and cheering their team, every time they scored in the last quarter.
Seemed like the longest quarter in history - can't imagine how awful it must have been for the players! I bet they just wanted to walk off!

3QTR time for me… sorry.
To be honest, I'm still not over last year and I don't need any more imagery to conjure nightmares for the next 12 months,
Was also worried about getting into a blue with a smug Pies fan,
Being beaten by the Pies playing our game plan in Grannie - Wow!

Half time for me.
Never looked like doing anything worthwhile.
Seven memberships this year.
The local scene next year for me.
Had enough.
Want 40 K members next year.
Ain't gonna happen.
So very disappointing. Can't believe it has come to this.
Lost opportunities has killed this club.
God I hate the 'Filfth'.
Not to rapped in St Kilda either.

I hope some of those not renewing memberships next year have Social Club.
More chance for some of us who want it to move up the waiting list.
