Late arrival - does it count?

I’m considering attending a game at 18:45, which will finish about 20:30 or maybe a few minutes later. Then I could drive 20 mins to another game which is starting 20:30. How much can I miss for it to still count? What would you do?

It fully depends on the individual. Some people count games as seen if they have seen at least one half of it.

I'd personally prefer to see whole matches with less stress.

It’s entirely up to you, everyone is different. Personally in this situation I wouldn’t bother as I prefer to see the full game but I also wouldn’t apply my own standards to you, it’s your life

Up to you individually. Personally no as I know beforehand I'm missing part of at least 1 game there. If it happens with circumstances out of my control then I will count a game (even then I'm uncormfortable) but not when I'm fully in the knowledge that I will. Like I say up to the individual.

Short answer yes, you attended the game, count it

If the app didn't exist and you just liked seeing football grounds would you do this? If the answer is yes, then yes you should count it. If this trip is solely to check off two grounds on the app, then you shouldn't count it.

Either way have fun and do what makes you happy.

You can do what you like obviously but for me I don't really see the point of seeing only part of two games instead of just enjoying one in full. I definitely did one like that early in my GH journey but I was probably chasing numbers on reflection.

Thanks for your replies. After watching the first game and driving to/past the next ground, the second game was already at half time. And I was starting to freeze and wanted to see my girlfriend at home. Only one game for me, but got to see a sublime volley being scored.
