The Subway
loyal, for those of you who do not know who
they are. These are the bears who around the 80 minute mark decide the game
is over and up and away they go.
I have heard lots of bears discussing the SL and am
shocked at some of the reactions. Some of the names
they are called astounds me. There are many reasons for
bears leaving early, and we have to respect their decision
to leave early.
Having said that if you are one of those who leave early and your sole reason is to get home earlier. Let me point out to you, what most of us have witnessed over the past few seasons. It used to be 5 minutes before the final whistle, then it was 10 and it is still expanding. All I ask you to do is think. What must the players think when they see the exodus? Think of the encouragement it gives the opposition and their fans. Think of the bears who are staying for the 90 minutes and the fact that they can hardly see the game for having to get up and down to let you all out. Then ask yourself, does getting home that wee bit earlier make such a difference to your Saturday night? Do you get up and leave 10 minutes before the end of a film at the pictures, so you can get home earlier?
If at
the end of answering all of these questions, you still want to leave early.
I for one will have to respect that, and hope you use the extra time you have
gained wisely.
