pillred Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 And no I'm not talking about the average nookie but us being on twice, Birmingham on the Friday night 7th Feb and Derby the following weds, how do season ticket holders feel about it? I know some would go anyway but if it's peeing down must be tempting to miss at least one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I've never understood why anybody would choose to watch a game on TV that they had tickets to attend, regardless of the weather. The live football experience is so superior to watching on TV (yes, even with our current home performances!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The live football experience is so superior to watching on TV (yes, even with our current home performances!). I'd feel absolutely pissed off that I'm not there. There was a home game earlier on in the season where I had left my car lights on and my battery went flat, the breakdown company messed up and didnt get someone out to me in time and I was absolutely fuming I was having to miss a game. For me the result is secondary really. I attend regardless because I enjoy just having a day away from the daily grind, having a few beers, a KFC pre match and meeting up with friends and it's a great way to let out the stresses of life by shout explicits at the ref for 90mins. It's a way of life for me and it doesn't matter what division we are in I'll still be down there enjoying my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 4 hours ago, Monkeh said: People may make plans before the game is moved? Neither of these games have been moved for TV. (Birmingham on a Friday was announced September time as LJ wanted an extra days rest for the Derby match). I have access to sky but would never miss the live experience to sit in front of the TV whatever the weather. I shall be making a four hour round trip for both games.

exAtyeoMax Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I've booked 15:30 coach from Victoria on the Friday, not sure about the Wednesday yet. If I'm working, I'll probably either take half day…coach down, train back, or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I've been going down for over 35 years, 20 years on my own, becoming friends with some of those around me. My little lad is only on his second season ticket, but already it doesn't feel right being there without him. I'll go to the Derby game without him, but the experience will be lessened by his absence there. I've missed games in the past to watch it with him if I've felt a little under the weather. Brum he can go to as there's no school the next day, so yay! There are lots of reasons for people to miss it, but I agree there's nothing quite like being there - irrespective of the result!
