Manchester United Fans Voted Worst in Premier League for Leaving Games Early
It seems that Manchester United fans have been voted the worst in the Premier League for leaving games early, according to a study with Betfair and YouGov of 1,300 football fans. Arsenal fans were voted in second place, having been spotted streaming out of the Emirates on Sunday afternoon, missing dramatic injury time goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus that sealed a 3-1 victory over Erik ten Hag’s side.
Alejandro Garnacho saw his 88th minute goal ruled out for offside in a wild conclusion in north London.
Reasons for Leaving Games Early
Almost one in four fans admitted they left a match early last season, with a third of those missing at least one late goal as a result. Beating the traffic was the most common reason for ducking out early, followed by those who were sick of the sight of their team being thrashed.
Supporters who left the Emirates early on Sunday were greeted by Premier League great Dimitar Berbatov and a special early leavers no.90 bus.
Berbatov’s View
The Betfair Ambassador said: ‘I can understand why fans leave early. This is something Arsenal and Man United supporters are doing and I’ve done it myself when I go to watch games. You want to beat traffic but sometimes you can miss goals after 90 minutes.’
Betfair’s 90-Minute Payout
It comes as Betfair introduce their new 90-minute payout, where winning bets are paid out at 90 minutes, regardless of what happens in added time.
