All very good points put forward, it’s just an observation, it didn’t use to happen, not only in England but in Scotland too, in fact the Scottish cup final some time ago was the first time I noticed this phenomenon.
After a final the losing finalist used to do a lap of honour for their followers thanking them for their support.
When I’ve left early it’s been because of my disgust at my team’s performance. Manchester United should have been proud of their teams efforts, as with Inter, they didn’t just roll over.
My point is that it just doesn’t look good when half the stadium is empty during the presentations at a national event.
