oh_weds_we_love_you Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I wasn't going to go because I wanted the fans who have been to games more regularly than me this season to get priority. However, with the number of tickets available and the priority structure, I'm 5th in line out of the priority groups, and know there will be many further down the pecking order who would get a ticket. So, the train is booked and I'll be waiting until later in the week to buy my ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 It turns out that my girlfriend has an old chum with a debenture in the prawn sandwich area, so I shall be feeling really guilty as I attend my first game of the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoryBell Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 You don't really believe her, do you, George? An "old friend" indeed! How many of us have fallen for that one down the years? Does she say they "go back a long time" and that they have "always only been mates". Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear! :laugh: :laugh: Only joking! (it's probably a woman).

Does she say they "go back a long time" and that they have "always only been mates". Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear! :laugh: :laugh: Only joking! (it's probably a woman). Funny you say that. A rather grand hamper arrived from Fotnums at Christmas and she explained who it was from (same chap). I didn't believe her either though it seems this guy sold his production company for rather a lot of money so spanking a ton on Nat's Christmas present even though he's not seen her for a year or two is nothing. In all honesty though, I'm not the possesive type. If I end up with tickets next to the Royal box and he feels he wants to take her away for the weekend then it seems like a fair deal to me.

oasismark Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Why would you get slagged off? As much as we love football, family and friends are more important. A football club isn't going to be there for you when you need them, a mate will be. Just thought there would be, 'get yoursen off ta match' posts Happy with the decision, now i can relax and get excited for the big day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinOwlMan Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Will watch from home in Gozo (the smaller of the 2 inhabited Maltese islands). Came over for a weekend and caught the home game v Charlton and I'm happy to watch this on TV - still enjoying the amazing ride of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Everyone is going apart from Reading. But if I manage to get tickets in the general sale, so my lot can all sit tigether, I might sell him my guaranteed ticket which I'll have purchased earlier. There'll be a lot of that going on btw. Buying the single ticket that is guaranteed to you now, then buying seats together with family and friends later, then flogging your single ticket. Inevitable. So don't get despondent when the tickets sell out, someone will have a spare somewhere Edited May 18, 2016 by theowlsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I agree. I'm planning to go and I don't feel right about it... ...but I'm going to do it anyway. I was fairly regular at Hillsborough until I got banned. In the glory days my Dad and I travelled from the Cotswolds to every home game and half a dozen away games a season. As we slid down the leagues, I kept going as often as I could afford. Ten years or so ago I had to stop going to home games but went to every away game I could. I went to Colchester on a wet Wednesday night when we lost four nil, 2-0 at Gillingham, all those sorts of stories that everyone's got. Somehow, when it started getting better, other things had taken over in my life and I didn't go as much and this year I've not been once. So it doesn't feel right to go but at the same time, it kind of doesn't feel right not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Not going. Only been to the Charlton game this season so don't feel I've any rights to go. Doesn't mean I won't be going mental at home watching it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Anyone willing to buy my PS4 off me so I can afford to go? I've had so many bills this month it's left me skint and I'm gutted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Had a season ticket for every season since 1971, the same seat in the North stand, but I am not going to Wembley and will be watching the game in the local pub. The reason I am not going is that I suffer from panic attacks leading to depression if I am not careful and, sadly, traveling does not agree with that.
