I am sure I am not alone in this but I missed about 2 home games in about 25 years. Both of those were for weddings. I even went the day after my first born came into this world. Now I am missing about 6-7 home games per season because 12.30 just doesn't work with my shift pattern. Given how far some have to travel so many people's loyalty must be being severely tested. Big time.
Buggers up my pre match routine of walk, cigar, chips and finally pints with some of the faithful no end. It’s ****, but we don’t count.
Or alternatively match, post-match pints and a cuban Buggers up the pre-match Old Gits moaning session at the Defectors though
Just noticed this applies to the Charlton game, pain in the arse as was taking my old man to the hospital that morning before meeting around 12 30 for a pint
Tell them to have some consideration and get them to move the weddings to the Sundays....or have a bit of Steely+ action sneakily running in your jacket with an earpiece
