Betelgeuse Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I think it must have been about 6 or 7 months ago or maybe even longer when I agreed to go on a family holiday. Its only a week and I havent been abroad for about 3 years so I thought ok, why not? Nice break in the sun, sounds good! I pretty much forgot about it until a few weeks ago when my mum came round giving me details of when, where, how much etc when i suddenly realised we gat back SUNDAY April 1st! I miss a City game do I? I quickly run and grab a program, looking down the fixtures, FOREST AT HOME, NOOOO!!! Cant believe it. I'm a season ticket holder but before anyone ask's my tickets have already been snapped up by very sympathetic (yeah right) family members.This got me thinking, has anyone ever missed an important City game through reasons beyond there control? I also had to go to my cousin's wedding a few years ago, missing Tranmere at home. Who gets married on a saturday during the footy season? Honestly!

Jay Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I am going to have to go through the rest of my life with the guilt that when she walked up the ailse i was discussing the City line up with my best manWhy feel guilty about about that?!?!I've missed two home games this season (both in September due to a friend's wedding in France and a trip to Gran Canaria). Prior to that, I hadn't missed a home game (inc all cups & friendlies) for over 5 seasons. I'm still pretty gutted that I missed two games regardless of my reasons for missing them.

Spiderman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 This got me thinking, has anyone ever missed an important City game through reasons beyond there control?Not quite beyond my control but when I was at school I had the chance to see this bird or go to a City home game in the Leyland DAF or whatever it was then. She was alright and I thought I had a chance of getting laid ........... OK so it was the area final but we had lost the first game 2-0 at Hereford so there wasn't much chance of a good night at AG.Oh dear, we won 3-0 for one of the great nights in recent history.

richwwtk Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Me. I got married 5 months ago when City played Forest away. I am going to have to go through the rest of my life with the guilt that when she walked up the ailse i was discussing the City line up with my best manThe time to get married is Friday April 20th in Gretna Green.

we8gas Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 That forest game will be the game of the season, I can't believe you are going to miss it. I will tell you all about when you get back.

The same old man also told me i was to young to go to the Frieght Rover Trophy finals at wembley (i wouldvbe been 8/9).Surely there is a death sentence for such stupidity!!!

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I missed the Piss Pot Carlisle Final due to signing up for a Jolly Boys' Tour to Cork six months previously.Many an unsuspecting Paddy out for a spot of afternoon drinking were converted into RedMen and baptised with the juice of the Holy Apple that day so I considered it Missionary work and a very selfless act. Ahh, fun days were those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
