Guest smirnoffred Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Yep, Mine too commented, saying: Why do your tickets say you will be getting to swindon at 11:50, surely the game doesnt start till three! All i could say was you need to get there early just in case the train is delayed, Hook, line and sinker Bye bye :Wave: :Party12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I've often thought how lucky people must be when there other half is as much of a City fanatic as we are, Imagine the scenario. Wife: I'm thinking of going to Hartlepool this Saturday to watch the reds. Husband: Good idea, I'll check the train times. END OF CONVERSATION Instead of this usual one for me. Me: I was thinking about going to Hartlepool to watch football this Saturday. Wife: What am I going to be doing then? :@ Why do you want to go all the way up there to watch a game of football? :@ How much is that going to cost? :@ I wanted to go shopping for curtains this weekend. :@ My mum has invited us around for lunch. :@ They will probably lose any way. :@ What a waste of money. :@ If you go to that one, I want some money for clothes shopping. :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DolmanDudess Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Does help if the guy is in to City just as much as i am, then instead of making an excuse to escape every Saturday you can make it a date together Bless.... If there not into football, they must have it drummed in to them, that City come first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 My other half is Welsh and always used to be more interested in rugby than football. Since we got together I have gently introduced him to the joys of football and Bristol City (me being the complete fanatic)! Now we are both season ticket holders and he only needs a little gentle persuasion to travel all over the country to watch City play. So the conversations are made simple really - we both want to go and both want a couple of drinks before hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Ah thats the thing, she does come to City sometimes, but doesn't understand the pre match pub ritual or need to attend away games - I think I'm speaking for most fellas when I say this is a common problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rikku Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 It's not just a woman thing - my boyfriend actually said to me the other day "you care about bristol city way more than you care about me!!" and he complained when I insisted that he was coming to Luton with me (I even told him I'd pay)!! The stupid thing is...he supports city too!! (he just thinks I'm a tad obsessive!!) Ah well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Is it just me who has this problem where their wife/husband etc don't have the slightest interest in football, if I had my time again I would have hooked up with the first female/animal/mineral in a city shirt, life would be so much simpler.

bucksred Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 It sure helps if yer missus likes the footy...mind you they are quicker to suss the dodgier players out...and give em ######. Less likely to tolerate poor performances on the pitch than us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I'm glad my missus doesnt like football. We've been together nearly a year and a half and before we started dated i made it plainly obvious that football always came first!!!! It still does as well ! Anyway, i like football to be my own space and time. to do what i want. to call the ref what i want and not have some annoying noise to say: "its not his fault your losing" etc etc. Took one ex to a game v Chesterfield and we won 3-0 but never again!

Redminster Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Is it just me who has this problem where their wife/husband etc don't have the slightest interest in football, if I had my time again I would have hooked up with the first female/animal/mineral in a city shirt, life would be so much simpler. Only joking mrs Screech. I thought mine didn't have the slightest interest in football - then she admitted to being "nervous" towards the end of the QPR match on Saturday. She's been to about 15 games now in the 5 years we've been together and always seemed to have much more interest in the crowd rather than the football (who can blame her with the football from City sometimes ) She's become quite tolerant of the (sometimes terrible) language that comes out of my mouth at football. Thing is, she has got it into her head that if she comes along to a match, it equals one trip to the shops with me in tow. I tell her she doesn't have to come to the game....

TimmerD Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Well I for one am delighted my missus hasn't got a clue about footie, but this has led to one problem. I have been accused of "corrupting" our 21 month old son by encouraging him to support the mighty BCFC!!! Can you believe it! Corruption! I replied its his god given right to support who ever he wants......... as long as they play in red and white and have the words bristol and city in their name!
