Don't leave us this way

The club did the right thing in not letting back in those fans who left when West Ham were 2-0 down against Leeds. I've never understood fans leaving a game early. Is beating the Stratford kettle really that important? This season more added time is being played than ever before. We had 11 minutes against Leeds to get back in the game and for once we did. Those goals were the reward for the loyal fans who stayed in their seats. 

There's a culture of leaving games early that makes the London Stadium less intimidating than it should be. Perhaps at three or four down it might be more understandable, but even when getting tonked you might see a consolation goal, something about a player's attitude that's encouraging or a bit of skill from the opposition. We pay enough for our ninety minutes plus - let's stay there for all of it like proper fans.
