I respect that people have better things to be doing, but seriously every game?.....like you say it's the more seasoned fans who go week in week out who are likely to be doing this.
All i'm saying is if it is the same people week in week out who are season ticket holders arriving late and leaving early would they not be better off giving in their season tickets, this is not just my opinion I worked with a guy who was an Arsenal season ticket holder for years used to meet him for drinks at the Bailey (before it closed) before games and it annoyed the hell out of him and he had further to travel than I did. And more than that it's not something that is particular to Arsenal, i've been to Anfield more than a few times as my brother lives up in Liverpool and the fans at the ground leave early and if you check the liverpool forums and vlogs they get just as frustrated with it.

People can do what they like at the end of the day, i just think it's a little bit pointless paying what is a lot of money and not even bothering to watch the whole 90 minutes.

And it's not even people like Moh, DT gets fed up with it as well....he blames the club as well for not doing enough to create the right atmosphere and again I think he's right.

I think DT is the last person i'd want to socialise with (though to be fair on him i wouldn't want to socialise with any of the muppets from Arsenal fan TV) but i'll give him his due, he's there week in, week out (he was one of the few of those lot who travelled out to Croatia for our champions league tie against Dynamo Zagreb) and unlike a few people on this board (and i don't mean you) the guy desperately wants to be wrong in his negative assessments.
Again, if people have families to get home and want to see before bed, that's their business. None of yours. Even if they don't, it's none of your business. It's a small fraction of people.

Also,the noise levels are separate from people leaving. You can’t honestly think the players notice the difference between 50,000+ fans making noise to a few 100 fans leaving at the end? Did they notice against Burnley when we had to win a last minute penalty? Or home against Southampton? I doubt it. We still went on to win the game. Heck, the fuckers hardly clap the fans when the game is over. Pointless conversation and fraction of the problems we have. I'm done discussing it.
