Say for instance you work shifts....and you work alongside a blade...You swap the alternate Saturday of the weekends...You need the Saturday overtime to buy the little extras...like season tickets.....As it happens this big game falls on the Sunday...United are away the Saturday...not a problem is it? There are reasons other than not being ars*ed why some fans can't make all the Cup games and most of the away games...Some cut their cloth accordingly..simply circumstances I’ve worked shifts most of my life. When the fixtures came out in June I would like how the home games panned out with my shift patterns, and put leave days in well in advance. Managed that for 25 years of being a sr holder, had to miss a few but it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean...I did the same...Worked the Saturday we were away....off the following week.......You must have been lucky to get EVERY saturday off..even taking leave days into account....fact is these days..Matches are at different times...Matchdays are changed with little notice...Its changed big time mate Edited January 21, 2019 by asteener1867 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just been looking at photos of Stamford Bridge from the 60’s, I’d forgotten what a dump it was back then. Two stands either side, one open end and other partially covered by “the shed”, running/greyhound/speedway track round the pitch. I’d completely forgotten how bad it was...and it was still as bad up to the 80’s...it would have been like asking first division sides to come and play us at Owlerton dog track! And it still only holds 41,000+ hope it’s full on Sunday. We’ll give ‘em a game this weekend and force a replay, then give ‘em the same treatment Arsenal got a couple of seasons back. Double pay day at the turnstiles! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I wanted one but I've not been to enough games. Only 3 more and I'd have been ok. It's my own fault and that's that. I've barely been to any away games over the last few years and I've paid the price. There literally is no fairer way of selling tickets. The lads n lasses who go to more games than me deserve their reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that a replay after a draw at Hillsborough? Or am I one year out....again! Seems a lot for a midweek replay, or did we draw at theirs and lose the replay at ours? They were in the final in 67 against Tottingham if I remember reyt.

sternlad Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Wrong again...we lost 1-0 at Chelsea in 67. Then it was 68 we drew 2-2 at Hillsborough in the 5th round and lost replay 2-0. 49,000+ at Hillsborough for the 2-2 draw and 50,000+ at Chelsea for the replay. Wondered who scored for us that day? Anyone remember? I know I was at the first game but memory failing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Reyt....found it eventually. FA Cup 5th round v Chelsea March 1968 1-0 ( Fantham), 2-0 (Ritchie), 2-1 (Baldwin), 2-2 (Tambling) Bugger me, another lead thrown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lads n lasses who go to more games than me deserve their reward. Fair play to you with that attitude. I got one but only by virtue of going to all the home cup games in the last few seasons as I also don't go away generally (as it's unrealistic in my split household) Edited January 22, 2019 by Salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
