Taximark Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Others would be away at hull when we snook into the playoffs I had a bet that we would win 2-1 with quinn scoring, after the jubilation of knowing we were in the Play offs I realised that I just won 100 quid, a really good day.

horny owl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Wish I'd gone to the away games at Sporra and Keiserslautern. The home games were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultan_Pepper Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I missed the final game of last season for our promotion. Stuck at a wedding in Wales. Still not forgiven the Mrs, her friends, or anyone Welsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The highly acknowledged 0 v 0 thriller at home to Rushden and Diamonds back in 2004. Couldn't go as I had the shytes. Devastated doesn't even come close. One of the true greats of our times, an unheralded classic if I ever saw one. Twas truly an honour to see Chris Turner's warriors battle hard, sweat blood and tears to earn us an invaluable point against the mighty Rushden and Diamonds.

Guest wadsgod Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Just reading Wednesday, Rucks and Rock 'N' Roll by Anthony Cronshaw. Very good read, but it's got me thinking about matches that I couldn't get to for one reason or another. I wish I could be at every match, but I simply can't afford it. But these are the matches tIhat I REALLY wish I was at. S***hampton home 5-0. I was at sea for this. Absolutely gutted. Boxing Day Massacre. I was still just a little wiggler in my dad's sack. League Cup final '91. I was only 6 and my mum hated football. The one I wish I was at most though, was FA Cup semi-final '93. I wish I'd made the journey to Sheffield to take in the feel of the city that day before travelling down to London. I was only 8 at the time, but I remember watching it at my mate's house. Actually gutted I didn't get to experience that. So which match do you wish you were at? I went to all the matches you've mentioned, but missed the play-off final in Cardiff )-: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deantheowl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 93 semi, was on HMS Coventry in the Gulf, only 2nd half was on world service, extra time wasn't, so I listened to the 'economic farming problems in outer mongolia' when they switched to Wembley........Mr. Bright had me (& one other) running down 2 deck.....the 1st lieutenant wasn't impressed.......like we were bothered! Great run ashore in the dry state of Kuwait followed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musingowl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 1991 League Cup Final. I asked my dad if he could get tickets (I was only eleven, and he's an Arsenal fan) and he found a ticket agent in London selling them for £24 each. He came home and told me that no match was worth £24 a ticket. £24 too much! How many Arsenal games does he get to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA Cup semi in 93, my dad gave me the choice of league cup final or FA semi, we had an away replay at Derby and blunts had to beat a nearly champions Blackburn so I plumped for the league cup final, nightmare. As for Boxing day 1979, I was supposed to be born that day but was late and arrived on 4th Jan, always been disappointed with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 eric taylor decided they would only except postal applications and think they got over 100k requests for 15k tickets .i was one of the unlucky ones ,my uncle who'd never been to hillsboro got one and i didnt speak to the 2hat for years after . What a stupid idea just a lottery and that just encourages the band waggoner's to apply. Why not just put them on general sale and the ones that wanted them the most would have queued up days in advance. Where's that Eric Taylor thread..

Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I missed a handful of home games between 1993 and 2010, The Di Canio - Alcock incident when Briscoe got the last minute winner was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Coopio Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Last match of last season. Was getting married - 3pm on the dot. Gutted was not the word. I told my new wife both in the ceremony and in my speach that I will never forgive her for that. Though there were several SUFC fans in the congregation who I got to rub in at every possible moment. Two of them even went home before the reception as they were that gutted. I had nominated people in the crowd in the church giving signals and coughing and noises to indicate goals in both ours and pigs games. And even had the radio on in the wedding car to hear a bit of the second half. Happiest day of my life but maiunly for football reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sten Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 '93 FA Cup Final. I knew one of the fullbacks up at Hartlepool and he sent me his ticket in the post. Postie robbed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT OWL Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The Waddle West ham game is the only domestic one that springs to mind and thats only with the benefit of hindsight - have been lucky to get to every league/cup game that I wouldn't have wanted to miss for anything in the last 30 years. So its got to be away in Europe - next time I will be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
