Sir Colby-Tit Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Need some advice here folks.One of my clients has invited me to go to the *gulp* Sadsag Vs Leeds match on 14th September. Will be the whole corporate jolly thing, meal first and all that.I've never been to see a Rovers game (unless they're playing City of course). However, the client would really like me to go and it may be a bit rude to say no.This is really bothering me & I need to let them know today.Please guys, what would you do?

And say that you had a terrible nights sleep the previous night and are very tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpty Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 No brainer.Tell them you need to travel to the midlands (Coventry) early the next morning, so you can't make it.In the meantime, find yourself new clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianred Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Wear something red, just to remind yourself that you have a better life than those around you and get sozzled before game.

stranter Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Nothing wrong with encouraging Leeds though!!!Urgh there is. Not sure who I want to lose the most. Ideally, the game would be called off after 5 minutes due to a poor pitch. Dock Rovers 10 points for a bad pitch and then Leeds to be docked points for fielding an inelligible player.Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGS RED Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'me sorry, but I cant associate the word moral with Sir Colby Tit. With that in mind, you cant possibly have a moral dilemma.

Nibor Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Go. Business has to come first.Sit through the game shaking your head sadly, sighing and tutting as the hapless third rate no marks that are Rovers foul and hoof their way to defeat.

With that in mind, you cant possibly have a moral dilemma. Just wear some fashion shades, eat and drink at their expense and talk about sex and the City.CGS - On reflection - you are right, I am morally challenged.One thing I would like to clear up though - I am not qualified to discuss Sex and the City. My missus has the box set, but I can categorically state that I have never watched it. I would watch it for the muff but Sarah Jessica Parker has bandy legs and they scare me.Thanks for all the advice chaps. I have phoned my client to accept the invite. Will just have to get bladdered & make the best of it. Might even try one of their famous pasties.Robbored - any chance of a lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would politely suggest your client switches to hospitality at the scunny game the week later? also shouldnt you be paying for your client? or it this a sick joke he is playing on you...if not then in theory leeds should win though, so you can enjoy a loss. wear your city y-fronts and also you might want to wipe your feet and have a wash on the way out...also you could ejoy the grub / booze then make your excuses and leave?
