Why are people so obsessed about fans who leave early? It's not gonna stop you watching the game by them leaving is it? I personally never leave early but if i do see someone leaving, i dont feel the need to have a go at someone else for going early. They've paid their money and can do as they wish?...
Ok so it is annoying when the same fans will be there weeks after staying till the end after a good win etc etc but does it need to be such a big deal?

i NEVER leave early, but i retain the right to boo em off if i think they are underperforming.
and if an individual is making error after error , i reserve the right to call him sh!te.......which i did on sunday.
i booed em off at half time, and i shouted to mathers not to bother coming back out.
but i stayed till the end and when they came over to the east , i booed em and gave a few selective hand gestures.
but i will carry on going to watch em for a few more games.....home only at present.
a couple of seasons ago i stopped going mid season , because i thought "if they cant be ar$ed making the effort, then i cant be ar$ed making the effort to go watch.
its still early season, im angry, frustrated, but im still a supporter.
How am i making a big deal out of it? What i'm saying is, how can people call themselves 'loyal' supporters yet boo them off and leave early? When your loyal, it means your faithful, you devote yourself - Yesterday, I saw people with '18 Loyal' on their back, leaving 20minutes before the game ended - That aint loyal...
Yeah, your right, you pay for your ticket & that gives you the right to do whatever you like, simple as - But don't call yourself a Wigan fan, because your not - Like i said, a fan is someone who sticks by their side, through the good times/bad times - Gives them a chance - Stays till the end to clap their team off...

Relax. We're all upset. People just react in different ways.

No, loyalty is coming back a fortnight later.
What's the betting against a 14-15,000 crowd against Cas?
Like last year's mauling by an average but hardworking Huddersfield team 34-4 in front of 12,216 the fans trudged off having just sung' You're not fit to wear the shirt'.
A mere 7 days later a larger 12,842 fanbase were back. not knowing what to expect, but there regardless.
Now that's Loyalty for you........

you pay your money and are entitled to vent you're frustrations as you wish, personaly i would rather people left early than stayed to boo the team off

To say they are not fans is a bit unfair.If someone isn't happy with what they are watching like said on many other threads, why should they sit through it in the freezing cold when they are paying to watch a team who are clearly lacking the effort or entusiasm to play at their best.
So it's ok for the fans to keep being loyal week in week out, But if they wanna leave early in disgust at a terrible performance it means they are not a fan?....
Yes some people devote pretty much their life to the rugby and are very passionate, but because someone else isn't as passionate as you are they aint a fan?
no doubt those people will be back at the next home game giving them another chance... is that not loyal?
