Rocky Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm sure we've been at home on the same weekend as the balloon fiesta. This is one of those myths? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the last time we were at home on the same weekend as the Balloon Fiesta was back in 07, played QPR and it was complete chaos. Don’t think they’ve allowed it since. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the Mrs went to the fiesta in the morning, walked to the game in the afternoon, then walked back to the fiesta after the game. Worked a treat, in that respect. I think she must have been driving because i was pissed by early evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think they’ve allowed it since. That was complete madness. Surely the club are aware of when the Balloon Fiesta is and notify the FA so the fixture list can be compiled accordingly. Surely there must be other clubs who have non football events in their area during the football season so it shouldn’t be a big deal to accommodate their fixtures accordingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Wonder if this also make it more likely that we will be away for the first match of the season on 30 July (and then at home on 6 Aug). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted April 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Sounds about right, so Middlesbrough away on 30 july or 13 August would suit me fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first home game that season wasn’t until the end of August. No where near when the balloon fiesta was held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
