OK. Maybe I've been lucky in the sense that I'm not local. I have driven to Manchester and back to Essex in a day. I've had to brave the traffic in different senses, such that the 1st couple of times up, I parked near the ground and sat in traffic. It eventually cleared, but yes, a little frustrating.
More recently, the 'day trips' have resulted in me parking at the school in Davyhulme Road, for a small fee, and walking about 20 minutes to the ground.
Also, I've been lucky and got a room in what used to be the Whitehouse hotel, the Campanile once and also, stayed in the city centre hotels.
Every time, I've still stayed to the end and either got in a taxi, sat in traffic or walked to my car or hotel.
I still wouldn't miss the end of a game. Having said that, I wasn't on the receiving end of the 4-1, though.
I understand how you'd get so frustrated when that happens. Just not sure about when they're winning, but beginning to understand. Hey, we're not all the same.
Keep them coming.
Still, there are a couple of answers to why you guys might leave.
