    We get some fairly odd people at football but what bugs you the most?

    People leaving 10 minutes before the end just to beat the traffic.

    People who leave early usually, occasionally acceptable at full-time but no excuse at halftime.

    Same here...people who prefer to get a drink during a 90 min match rather than watch the game. You wouldn't bob up and down and leave early at the theatre. so don't do it at football match. If you can't watch a game without a drink...stay at home.

    People who leave early, commentator fans, and the ones that ask you how to get through the turnstiles :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Leaving early. You are not a customer, but a supporter. You buy a ticket to support, show pleasure, show displeasure, shout, scream, cheer, but you never, ever leave early. And that includes going to the concourses for a drink well before HT and coming back late. If you can't do without alcohol for around 2 hours it might be worth checking with your doctor. Also consider the 2 hours without food as a part of a well balanced fasting diet.

    People who can't survive two hours without eating a disgusting pie.

    Mostly those that chose to get up five minutes before the half time whistle and never return until some time after kick off.

    People who shout abuse at members of their own team, not because of what they are doing in the game being watched but for some perceived problem with the player as a person. An example that drove me spare was poor old Guly (it would be, wouldn't it?) trying and failing to get on the end of a truly terrible pass from Rickie and being derided for it.

    Leaving early, and those who turn up too pissed to take any notice of the game. They usually have their back to the game demanding you sing along with their pissedness.

    My main issue with those that leave early is that if something exciting happens as they're trying to push their way through, they're happy to stop in front of you meaning you can't see what's happening!

    People that leave early would annoy me if I knew the person didn't have a valued reason. As I don't know what that person life is like I let it slide.

    People who leave early when we are winning, then have the audacity to sing along to 'all Southampton FC, we're by far the greatest team, the world has even seen' whilst trotting down the stairs to the exit.
    I have to say, that mass exodus when Chelsea scored their 3rd at St Mary's on NYD was just, well... embarrassing to be quite honest. Even I was singing, 'is there a fire drill?'

    People who make a random and incoherent blurt of noise upon either seeing the stadium, or going through the turnstile.

    Number 1 - Losing - and then desperately crossing and uncrossing legs afraid to go to the loo in case of missing something really good.
